Now I get it.

I used to have a really good friend. We will call this friend C. C has a daughter who is super cute. Now when C's baby girl was in fact a baby, C would let her pull her hair until she fell asleep. I don't mean just a little tug. I mean C's head would be sideways from how hard this baby girl would pull. C never complained, never told her to stop. I would always say, "C, you can't just let her pull your hair like that! Just imagine what she is gonna do when she gets bigger if you let her do whatever she wants." C would let her do it anyway. It comforted baby C to fall asleep that way. C's little girl still gets away with a lot but she still has not taken to beating her mother. So that's something right?

Mr. Biddles loves to grab my face when he is falling asleep and I let him. Let me just say that I HATE anyone touching my face. It kills me!!! I let him do it because it's sweet and that's how he likes to fall asleep. It is painful at times but he's my baby. I can stand a little discomfort so that he can be comfortable. Isn't that what mothers do? Sacrifice ourselves, our comfort, our time and everything else. So I let him. I get it now.
