5 Anecdotes Of Parents In Love With Their Children
My best friend told me that when she started working, after having given birth to her daughter and watching her grow up for eight months without separating from her, she returned home a few minutes after 1:00 in the afternoon to take care of her. At that time they both took a bath, ate and lay down on the bed to look deeply into each other’s eyes.
They say that life is what happens while you work, that phrase often resonates deeply in my mind. Many parents treasure the happy moments they share with their children, so here we tell you 5 anecdotes of parents in love with their children.
The anecdote of the musician
Joshuan Blanco has only one son who was given a race track and a soccer field one Christmas. He used the toys as a track and as a field for seven days. The following week, Luis Fernando turned the race track into an electric guitar and the soccer field is now a pedalboard –for the guitar–. “They look like the instruments his uncle uses,” says Joshuan.
Since January, his makeshift instruments have been his daily toys. The child wires the guitar and connects it to the imaginary amplifier . Every day it offers a half-hour concert for its select audience: Mom and Dad. “For me it is exciting, because he follows in our footsteps and it is a detail that I will never forget about him,” says Joshuan, who since his adolescence has been a member of a band with his two brothers.
I never leave
The most tender anecdote that Nathalie Sánchez remembers about her first daughter, Camila, is a conversation in which the girl, when she turned 4 years old, asks her: Mom, am I going to be as big as you?
Nathalie tells her: Yes, daughter, you are going to grow a lot and you are going to be great. You are going to become an adult.
-Camila: Mom, but if I’m going to be an adult, what will you be?
-Nathalie: Well, we are going to get older, but you are going to grow up, you are going to get married, you are going to have children and you are going to come visit us all the time.
At that moment Camila’s eyes watered.
-Camila: But why am I going to visit them?
-Nathalie: Because you’re going to have a big house, you’re going to have a car …
-Camila: But it will be a house that is not yours.
-Nathalie: Sure! A different house, which is not mine.
Camila began to cry.
Her mother asks her, without understanding her reaction why she was crying, and Camila, with tears running down her cheeks, says: I want to always live with you, I don’t want you to abandon me.
-Nathalie: Daughter, I will never abandon you, it will be you who when I grow up will not want to be with me.
-Camila: Of course not, that’s not true. I will always, always want to live with you.
The girl, who was four years old at the time of the conversation, again burst into tears. Her mother tried various strategies to comfort her without success, so she had to tell her: Lie, lie, we will always live together. But it is a promise, because you will see that it will be you who will no longer want to live with me. It’s a promise, right?
Of course I do! Camila answered through tears.
Camila began to cry because she felt that when she grew up, her mother was going to take her out of the house. It is a subject that he still does not understand, because in a second opportunity when his mother mentioned the phrase “when you grow up and leave”, he began to cry again.
Nathalie finds this experience tender. And that’s Camila, sweet.
Son come eat
Flavia Paola is three years old, she recently met them. And a few months ago he started calling his brother: Son. His mother, Eneida, is very amused by this anecdote, because she calls her first-born son: Son.
In that house it is everyday to hear: Son come here, son come to eat … son … son … That is why Flavia Paola now repeats, when she sees her brother: Son. And he says Hello, son! … Son, come to eat… She calls him son because she is imitating her mother, who is now her model.
What is this and how does it work
Paúl Santiago has always been a talkative parrot. Since he was two years old, he talked a lot and pronounced words correctly, no matter how difficult they were. It said: parancutirimicuaro, for example.
At that age, Paúl wanted to discover the world, and to understand it he asked. Unlike the other children who ask what is that, he went further, said: What is this and how does it work. His interest, above all, was focused on knowing how machines worked.
One day, when the car alarm went off – which was activated from the apartment where he lives – he asked: What is that? His cousin, who cared for him at the time, replied: The car alarm. Then the child questioned again: And how it works.
The young woman sighed and tried to be didactic … Then she looked for the TV remote control and explained that the control sends a remote signal or command to the device. Just as the TV control changes channels or turns the device on and off, the car control raises and lowers the car locks.
Paúl Santiago’s curiosity has not yet stopped, but he no longer asks how things work, he experiments. Their parents still don’t know what is worse …
