QotD: Family Dynamics

What's the hardest part about the role you play in your family?

Which role?  The wife, the Mom, the Daughter, the sister, the daughter-in-law, or the sister-in-law?  Do you know how hard it is to be all of those separately and at the same time?

Hardest part about being the wife:  Not letting the responsibility of life take away all the fun,

Hardest part about being the Mom:  Letting go so Jordan can grow.  (and visits to the cemetery--which is the only way I can be a Mom to Samuel.)

Hardest part about being the daughter:  I'm it.  I'm the only daughter---two sisters died at birth...I can make 'em proud or I can make 'em embarrassed.  No pressure there.

Hardest part about being the sister:  Loving my brothers while knowing if we weren't related I wouldn't like them.

Hardest part about being the daughter-in-law:  Making sure they know I'm making their son happy and raising their grandson in a way that will make them proud and happy.

Hardest part about being the sister-in-law:  It's hard being the 'outsider'---always trying to 'fit in' and be part of the family---offering advice just to have it tossed out like someone's garbage.

Now, how about telling the good things: about the easy parts?

Easiest thing about being the wife:  Loving him unconditionally.

Easiest thing about being the Mom:  besides loving him unconditionally---being so very proud of him and his accomplishments.

Easiest thing about being the daughter:  Receiving unconditional love.

Easiest thing about being the sister:  Knowing that if I need them my brothers are only a phone call away.

Easiest thing about being the daughter-in-law:  Being loved because I make their son happy.

Easiest thing about being the sister-in-law:  Now I have a sister to love and share things with---oh, and another brother that annoys me.
