Dreaming About Your Kids

Being who I am and doing what I do has it's perks as a Mom, but it has it's fare share of drudgery too. I recently had a disturbing dream about my 2 oldest daughters. One was tattling on the other, whats new there, lol, but it was a major disappointment. Having dreams that always come true can be helpful but when it involves one of your children, one that you have such high hopes for, well, it's not so cool anymore. Then there is the decision of telling them or not. I have this dilemma a lot with my clients as it is and that is always a struggle. Too much information can be as harmful or more as not enough. So I had to weigh in on if I told her could it be avoided or possibly not as bad, or not tell her and let her live her own life and be there and be supportive. I know when and what will happen at the time. I know how she will handle it and that she is worried about disappointing me too. But what I am struggling with is the damage, how it could effect her life in the future, how it could keep her from her goals or make them harder to accomplish. Unfortunately it did not show me whether she would reach her goals, it didn't go far enough ahead to help me there. Another brick wall about dreams, lol, they come, they show me the event, and they leave. So I finally decided, even though I still have a year before it would pass to tell her. Atleast she would be better prepared is my hope. In my telling she was very thoughtful, she listened, major plus, lol. She was totally understanding and took my words into account. She assured me her goals are still her main focus at this time and that if at anytime in the future she has a dilemma as I had described she would consult me first. I hope I did the right thing, I think I did, yep, I did. I feel it was the right thing to do and she agreed.
