Yes I am a "tante"

Yes..... I am a " tante ",  and I 'm not ashamed of that name.
A true confession I make; I 'm not getting any younger,  and once little girls are now ladies and they are  calling me "tante".
Yes I am and nothing will scare me,  because I know that it's the circle of life and I have to embrace it now before it's too late and someday I  will realize  that I missed up and I'm now a "cougar" who will never accept her age.
I lived my life as a young girl, and I  cherish every single moment of it. Now I  have to accept that I 'm living a new life as a mature person and letting young kids living their lives.
Yes my girl is now in 7th grade and her friends look  much more different than the past years, they are young ladies and gentlemen, so it's normal that a girl almost my tall will salute me with " Hi tante!" I won't make a big deal out if it. Yes I learnt to accept the title. It's not a scarlet letter to hide from it.  I learn to accept the fact that maybe  7-8 years from now  I 'll be invited to tge the engagement party of one of them.  The same little girl I  used to attend her birthday party  full of pink and crowns is becoming a lady,  and I'm  becoming  more and more "tante".
It's not a pessimistic  point of view at alllll;  it's life, it's  the journey we all take.
So don't get surprised or make fun when you hear a young lady calling me " tante", yes I AM and proud that I earned it.
I'm a young "tante"  full of hope and energy.... a new lovely phase of my life.

Stereotyping

Moms are always categorised into two groups, the working moms ; who are always away in their work environment and have almost no or just few hours to be with their kids.  And stay at home moms ; who are always watching  TV series and talking over the phone or out doing shopping in malls and doing nothing for their kids.
Sterotyping is a major problem.
I, myself, am a stay at home mom and I do not have a moment to stay, I'm always mooving around.  My TV during week days is always shut down.  Kids at school and I'm  overloaded  bearly have time to sip quickly a cup of lattee. And when my kids are home I have no time for myself.  I'm always on their demands. I live in a 24/7 job with no vacation.
And I know many working moms who do their best to have a quality time with their kids and they are always there in their training.  They are doing their maximum effort to compensate their children.
Nobody is perfect or have the perfect life. But each one if us is doing what is more suitable  for our family.
So please stop stereotyping  moms by judging or envying them.
We do not know the behind the picture truth. But for sure everyone  is struggling for the benefit of their children.
