Lack of competition from real moms leads to fake moms taking over

My mother called me just now and asked me what to eat for dinner. I said, "I don't know, what do you think?" She seemed to have fallen again in the stock market. I said angrily, "How do I know, I'm asking you, what are you asking me for!" Hey, I really don't know what to eat, I just wanted her to suggest something. Give me some suggestions so I can choose. . . . . .

Mom is mom. Because she didn't know that behind the other door in the room, there would be another mother, ready to be the mother of their child.

If you know, can you still speak in this tone?

If they don't want to cook, they don't cook, or they want to solve dinner hastily, just like Coraline's mother, of course, including the mother who gave me a bad temper on the phone just now, that's ok, because you don't want to do it, there is still someone Mom has a good roast chicken at the other end of the room, eager to show it to your kids, then eager to stare at the buttons in their faces and take it for herself.


Coincidentally, I read the text novel the night before, and then found the movie version today. Before I came up to write, I read some comments. It seems that this animation has become an educational film

. Children's superfluous demands are defined as wrong, and if someone wants to coddle you, that's a trap. In the end, everyone realized that it was still their own mother. There is only one mother.

I have some ideas of my own.

First of all, not for the child, not for the mother. Only for people,

why doesn't my mother play games with little Carolan? Why just tell her to annoy the neighbors,? Why do you only care about your own business and not your children's thoughts? ? Why only think about the school grey coat and ignore the green gloves? Why when Xiaoka excitedly talked about what happened to that door and the dream she had, her mother scoffed at her with disdain.

Why did Xiaoka just play by himself at first, and went to count the doors and windows alone? Why did Xiaoka start to think that another mother was better when she knew that there was another mother? Do your best to find that mother,

Because we have decided on our own children and mothers, because there is only one, whether it is good or bad, there is only one. The mother thinks that the child is only my mother, and the child says that I am also your child.

The mother treats the child patiently or impatiently. It doesn't matter whether the mood is good or bad, because the child is just my child, and my child is only my mother, so I have no choice. Don't worry that she will go to her other mothers, and so are the

children. When there is only one mother, Xiaoka is helpless. She can only have fun by herself. Garden mom. Was she excited and went to the arms of another mother, thinking of a way, when her mother didn't buy her green gloves, why did the little guy say so angrily? "The other mother must have prepared it for me." Then, what her real mother said, "Then go to your other mother to buy it." Because she believes that Xiaoka doesn't have another mother, only her, so I won't I bought it for your child, it's miscellaneous, can you really be in a hurry with me, to recognize someone else as a mother?

So a contradiction arose. The climax and ups and downs of the movie appeared. If Xiaoka and her mother were in love with each other, the mother and daughter would go on an adventure in the garden together. It was so fun, and the other mother didn't have a chance, and couldn't tempt Xiaoka to find her!


This is our only feeling. It is equivalent to saying that in the family, we lack competition, there is no comparison, after losing comparison. There is no way to measure good and bad. As a result, our love is lacking and somewhat arbitrary. Some are careless and have no consequences. (Families with multiple children. Children have a lot less uniqueness towards their parents, so if there are more children, the children need to show their parents, and fight for who the parents love more, because the parents are not the only one child. You become worse and worse. The parents hate you, the parents don’t say they don’t want you, but they can stop loving you more.)

This view can also be implied in many places, such as more interpersonal relationships. Especially in love and marriage.

So, don't think of yourself as the only one of the other party, if I'm not the only one, go to compete with another mother, another father, another friend, another lover, another child, to show, to express love When you are, see if you are still so indifferent.
