The Truth

Kristine wrote a post and shared it over her timeline on Facebook. In her post, she said, “So I did something that some may think is selfish recently, but I really needed it. I missed my daughter’s honor roll assembly so I could work out.” These words came shocking to many.

Maybe Selfish

She tried to make people understand her decision by she even knew that to some it might sound that she was acting selfishly. A mother means being selfless, but at the same time, it also means taking care of oneself as well just like one does that for their family.

Love For Daughter

There was another commenter who praised her for the way Kristine was parenting her daughter. That comment read, “I love the lesson you taught your daughter: that you love her, and that you care deeply, but that you’re not always going to be there, and that that’s OK.” However, other comments were not as good as these.
