Bad people are mother's too
I used to think that becoming a mother made you a better person. That it would make you more determined to change the world for the better.
Of course, the only real example I've had of a mother has been watching my own. Her every word is a constant reminder to be empathetic and kinder to others. I always thought maybe that's just the person you become after you have children. Maybe you've an urge to be good so you can lead by example.
Dear reader, I'm so sorry to tell you how wrong I have been. Mothers can be selfish, greedy and downright evil. My sister-in-law became an absolutely despiteful person after becoming a mother. It's like she completely forgot that before her own family, she had a brother too. Not only she used her child to gain an all-expense house paid for by my husband's parents but proceeded to have him removed from the business and insufferably visits the house we live in daily. To be fair, I don't know if she was always been this person but she definitely used her own child (who my in-laws adore) as a pawn in her scheming.
I wonder if things would change if I have a child one day and then I shudder at the thought. I don't ever want to use my child to my benefit. If anything, I think I'd protect my child from these people as much as possible. I really believe hard work pays off. Wronging someone for money and greed is something I possibly can't do despite all the hatred in my heart for the torment she's brought into my life.
