ʻAʻole wau ka makua leʻaleʻa - a maikaʻi wau me kēlā

He leʻaleʻa a me nā pāʻani āpau ke kokoke ka makuakāne, akā hele wau i ka ʻōlelo me kaʻu kuleana ponoʻī i loko o ka ʻohana.

ʻAʻole wau i noʻonoʻo pono iaʻu iho ma ke ʻano he kanaka luʻulu.E wehewehe pono wau: ʻaʻole wau i noʻonoʻo pono iaʻu iho ma ke ʻano he kanaka luʻuluʻu ... a hiki i ka haʻi pololei ʻana mai o kaʻu keiki mua loa iaʻu. Hāʻawi wau i ke ola iā ia a hāʻawi mai iaʻu i kēia ʻōlelo hōʻino loa. ʻO Rothless - {textend} pololei?

Akā yeah, ua hiki. He mea ʻole iā ia he nui kaʻu mau leʻaleʻa a me nā hoihoi. Ua hāʻawi ʻo ia i nā effes zero i loaʻa iaʻu kahi ʻoihana aʻu i aloha ai, kahi ola kaiaulu maikaʻi, kahi mau holoholona hoʻopakele, a i ʻole he hoa. Ua haʻiʻo ia iaʻu he wahine luuluu wau, a hele i mua a hoʻokuʻi iā ia e ka ʻōlelo ʻana i kēia, a ʻōlelo wau: "ʻAʻole ʻoe i kahi kokoke e like me ka leʻaleʻa e like me Pāpā! ”

ʻĀ, a laila ... ma laila ia. ʻAʻole maopopo kēia dictator liʻiliʻi pehea e holoi ai i kāna pēpē ponoʻī, akā ʻoluʻolu me ka wikiwiki e hoʻolei iaʻu i loko o ka perma-role o ka makua "leʻaleʻa". ʻO Mmkay.

Ua ʻehaʻeha loa ʻo Ego, kēia ʻōlelo wiwo ʻole i hoʻokū iaʻu i ka mea aʻu e hana nei (i kēlā manawa e holoi ana paha i nā mea lepo lepo o kona kaikaina a me / a i ʻole e pule ana i kā lākou naps i hoʻopili ʻia i kēlā ʻauinalā) a noʻonoʻo. I ka wā aʻu i hana ai, ʻike wau i kahi kiko o kaʻu spawn.

ʻOiai wau e kaʻana like i nā kuleana me kona makuakāne, ʻo ka hapa nui o ka mālama mālama / holoi-ʻana-a me ka hana ʻana i ka pā / mālama pono / mālama ʻia nā hana iaʻu. Kapa ʻia he makuahine. Kapa ʻia nā kuleana kāne. Kāhea ia i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo he kanaka hopohopo nui wau i kahi freak kaohi. ʻO nā kumu āpau, ʻo ka makuakāne ka mea i koho ʻia ʻo “Good Time Guy.”

I ka mua, hoʻonāukiuki kēlā iaʻu. HE NUI. ʻAʻole naʻe pehea wau e noʻonoʻo ai i nā mea i ka wā e hāpai ana. Ma koʻu ʻano makuahine, kiʻi wau i nā huakaʻi pāʻani hauʻoli, nā wahi zoo, a me nā hoʻokūkū hale Lego ma ke ʻano he makua aʻe. Auē, nā wahi a mākou e hele ai!

ʻO ka pilikia wale nō, ʻaʻole wau i waiho i kahi keʻena i loko o kaʻu mau moeuhane no nā hana maʻamau i hiki mai me ka makua. A e ka poʻe, maopopo leʻa ʻaʻole pono wau e haʻi aku iā ʻoe, aia nā ukana he ʻem, mai nā meaʻai a me ka holoi lole a hiki i ka chauffeuring, ka honi boo-boo, a me nā mea āpau ma waena.

ʻAʻole au e ʻōlelo ana ʻaʻole mākou e hana i nā mea leʻaleʻa aʻu i manaʻo ai i kēlā mau lā prenatal maikaʻi. ʻ sayinglelo wale wau ʻaʻole nā ​​roses āpau i nā manawa āpau, a ʻaʻole wau e kamaʻilio e pili ana i nā pale pale lepo maʻaneʻi, e ka poʻe. ʻO nā mea leʻaleʻa - {textend} ka mālama, ka hana e mālama ai i ka holo ʻana o ka moku - ʻo ia mea ka mea nui, a e mau nō. ʻAʻole ia e stoppin 'i kēlā me kēia manawa koke, no laila ʻae ʻoe e ʻae i ke ʻano o ka manawa āu e makemake ai e leʻaleʻa me kāu mau kerubima.

Akā maopopo iā ʻoe ka mea ʻē aʻe e hana ai? Hana ia i nā manawa leʻaleʻa i ʻoi aku ka momona, a hoʻolilo ia iā ʻoe i mea leʻaleʻa i nā wahi maʻalahi, i kēlā me kēia lā a i ʻole nā ​​hana maʻamau. Mai kuhi hewa - {textend} ma ke ala e hiki ai i nā huaʻōlelo me ka leʻaleʻa ʻole, ua pale iki wau.

Pehea e hiki ai iaʻu ke loaʻa i kahi rap maikaʻi ʻole no ka loaʻa ʻole o ke kahawai mau o nā hana hoihoi i hoʻonohonoho ʻia no kaʻu mau keiki, ma waena o nā mea he nui e pono ai e mālama iā lākou ma ke ʻano he ola, he lālā o ka hui kaiaulu. Pono e hana, a he poʻo inoa ka makua leʻaleʻa i loaʻa i ko lākou makuakāne inā loaʻa iā ia ka ikehu, manawa, a me ka hoihoi i ka hana ʻana pēlā. Nui koʻu hauʻoli ua hana ʻo ia! No ka mea kūpono lākou i ka hauʻoli āpau i hiki i ke kamaliʻi ke lawelawe, a ma ke ʻano he cliche e like me ka ʻōlelo, he kauhale maoli ia.

E like me kaʻu e ʻike ai, ʻo kaʻu hana ia e hoʻomau i ka mālama ʻana i kaʻu mau keiki i ke olakino a me ke ala pololei. Aloha lākou i nā hoʻokūkū pāʻani wikiō a ka makuakāne a me nā huakaʻi i ka pā trampoline. ʻAʻole wau e hoʻopiʻi iā lākou! Aloha au iā mākou ke hana i kēlā mau mea.

Akā i kekahi lā (lana ka manaʻo) e mahalo pū lākou i ka piha ʻana o nā niho i pala ʻole, a i ʻole ua aʻo e ʻauʻau. ʻO wau ko lākou makuahine - {textend} ʻaʻole kā lākou ʻōnaehana hoʻokipa home. A ʻo ka leʻaleʻa e loaʻa iā mākou (ʻo ka pinepine a nui, IMHO) ʻoi aku ka hoʻomanaʻo no mākou āpau.

No laila aia ia. Inā like ʻoe me aʻu, ʻaʻole manaʻo kāu mau keiki ua leʻaleʻa ʻoe. ʻLelo wau e hele a ʻapo i kou luhi aliʻi, no ka mea ʻike ʻoe i ke aha? ʻO ʻoe ke kopa.

He mea kākau kākau ʻo Kate Brierley, freelancer, a makuahine makuahine keiki na Henry a me Ollie. He mea lanakila ma ka Rhode Island Press Association Editorial Award, ua loaʻa iā ia kahi kekelē laepua i ka journalism a me kahi haku ma ka waihona puke a me nā ʻike ʻike mai ke Kulanui o Rhode Island. Makemake ʻo ia i nā holoholona hoʻopakele, nā lā kahakai ʻohana, a me nā memo kākau lima.
