The second most important relationship in my life is with my husband. This is a relationship by choice, we pick our mates and we choose to either make the relationship work or to end it. Completely different from the relationship we have with our children. I recently met a woman who was venting about her teenage son and honestly said "I don't want a relationship with him anymore but I am stuck with him". Stuck? Interesting choice of words I thought, because it is true. The most important relationship I have is with my sons. Everyday is a challenge, everyday there is drama and everyday I am in awe of my responsibilities. And because I am a good mother I too am "stuck" with them, meaning I will always be there for them, love and nurture them and never leave them. I like the word stuck, rhymes with fuck, and I like that word too.
