Question

Whenever my kids have a party at school, I am the mom who always signs up to bring the juice boxes. It’s not because I’m 1or that I don’t care if my kids have a good party. I am just not good at making homemade bread into holiday-themed shapes like other mothers. However, I’m happy to try, even though it’ll take me a long time to do it.
People say that housewives should have the 2 to make delicious meals, keep their houses clean, and 3every minute of their child’s life. Their words used to upset me a lot. I felt that I should also be able to do those things as a housewife. So when I couldn’t make the turkey-shaped cookies, I 4feeling like a failure as a mom.
After many 5 attempts at baking, and many afternoons spent crying over my inabilities as a mother, I finally accepted the 6 that my lot(命运) in life is to be the juice box mom. I worked hard to be the 7 one in the elementary school. And after one of my daughter’s class parties, it 8. Her teacher stopped me as I was leaving and said,＂Thank you so much for always bringing 9 drinks. Sometimes parents forget that other children will also 10 class parties, and they end up being left out because we don’t have enough drinks for everyone.＂
I just accepted her appreciation, rather than telling her that I brought extra drinks because I could 11 remember how many kids were in the class. But her appreciation taught me an important lesson: I’m not a failure as a mom.
Not everyone is cut out to be a(n) 12 mom. I believe it’s okay to be the juice box mom. I may not bake cookies and decorate them beautifully, but I provided something to drink. And I think that’s just as important.
