    “You don’t love me!”
    How many times have your kids laid that one on you?
    And how many times have you, as a parent, resisted the urge to tell them how much?
    Someday, when my children are old enough to understand the logic that motivates a mother, I’ll tell them.
    I loved you enough to bug (使煩惱) you about where you were going, with whom, and what time you would get home.
    I loved you enough to insist you buy a bike with your own money that we could afford and you couldn’t.
    I loved you enough to be silent and let you discover your handpicked (精心挑選的) friend was a creep (討厭的人).
    I loved you enough to stand over you for two hours while you cleaned your bedroom, a job that would have taken me fifteen minutes.
    I loved you enough to let you see anger, disappointment, disgust and tears in my eyes.
    I loved you enough not to make excuses for your lack of respect or your bad manners.
    I loved you enough to admit that I was wrong and asked your forgiveness.
    I loved you enough to ignore “what every other mother” did or said.
    I loved you enough to let you stumble, fall, hurt and fail.
    I loved you enough to let you assume the responsibility for your own actions, at six, ten, or sixteen.
    I loved you enough to shove you off my lap, let go of your hand, be mute to your pleas（懇求）... so that you had to stand alone.
    I loved you enough to accept you for what you are, not what I wanted you to be.
    But most of all, I loved you enough to say no when you hated me for it. That was the hardest part of all.
