💐What I Want from my Children💐
💐What I Want from my Children💐
I want you to know how much I love you.
I want you to remember to be kind and have empathy for others. I want you to know that I think about you daily and worry about you, because Mums never stop worrying about their children. I want you to be happy and healthy. I want you to make good life choices.
I want you to feel valued and I want you to use your life to pursue your dreams. You see, I don't really want or need anything from you, I want things for you. That's all a mother ever wants. We want our children's happiness above all else.
And finally, I want to see you, but if we aren't in the same household, we will do it by phone or video chat this year, because I want us all to be safe. I love you.
Love, Mum 💝💝💝💝
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
