1、2023年那天成为公主那天，我成为母亲就在那天，我真正地成为了一个母亲。我明白了做一个母亲，不仅仅意味着要观看女儿的芭蕾舞，不是参加学校音乐会，不是把家打扫得一尘不染，不是准备可口的饭菜，更不是对问题视而不见。对我而言，对打翻的牛奶一笑了之，才是我真正成为一个母亲的开始。The day I became a mom was not the day my daughter was born, but seven years later. Up until that day, I had been too busy trying to survive my abusive marriage. I

I discovered that being a mom isn't only going to ballet, and tap and gym recitals, and attending every school concert and open house. It isn't keeping a spotless house and preparing perfect meals. It certainly isn't pretending things are normal when they are not. For me, being a mom started when I could laugh over spilled milk.
