PTAで仲良くなったHさんとこの、若殿たち。
彼女を悩ませているのは長男、高１。
「全然勉強しないのよお！！」
入学後のテストの成績がよろしくなかったらしい。
挽回する！、、、はずだったこの前のテストでは、さらに母親をがっかりさせる結果に。。。。
「クラスの下から２番目で、今回はもしかしたら最下位かも！数学も英語も赤点でさー！」
はて？？
それはン十年前の私では、、、？？？
高校でいきなり勉強する内容が難しくなり過ぎて、あんなのはついていける方がおかしいのだよ。
面白くもない授業をする教師の話を、ただただノートにせっせと書き写すことの意義がわからなかった、私には。。。
私の通知表は赤だらけ。
「もう見るのがいやになってねえ、途中から通知表は見るのやめにしたわ」とは、かっての落ちこぼれの親である我が母。
彼女が、親として足掻いたすえに悟ったこと。
ーあきらめるー
「あの年齢の子供が親の言うことなんて聞かないわよ。勉強できなくってもね、もっと大事なことがある！」
「子供の思春期を、親もじっくり味わえばいいのよ～～」
。。。。。年季の入っている人の言葉です。
とは言ってもなかなかね、その渦中にいるとね、我が子のことにはハラハラしてしまうもの。
頭でわかっていても、ついついうるさく口を出してしまうよね。
でも、Hさんの息子はとってもいい子。
先日のPTAの飲み会では、３才から１５才までの子供１０人の面倒を引き受けてくれ、汗だくで遊んでくれた。
我が家の息子たちはいっぺんで大きいお兄ちゃんのことが大好きになって、今度いつ遊んでくれるのか楽しみにしている。
彼はきっといい青年になる。
今は勉強なんてしなくても。
それでも、やっぱり母であるHさんは心配心配。
「もう、親やってるのやだよ～～～！！」
と、叫ぶ。
大丈夫！
仲間はいっぱいいるよー。
がんばろうネ！
They are the boys of Ms.H who's a member of our PTA committee.
Her oldest son,who's a freshman, is giving her a headache.
‘He doesn't study at all!!’
His first test after entering high school wasn't good.
He said he would try harder on the next one,but he still scored badly,which made his mom more disappointed.
‘His score was the second from the last. It might be worse next time. His math & english scores were VERY bad!’
Sounds familiar!!??
I was exactly like that when I was a high school student.
You have to be very smart to understand the lessons because in high school,the level of the material become much harder.
Even though most of the students could tolerate the teachers'boring lectures and seriouslytake notes, I couldn't see the ponit in doing that.
So I did not study.
My scores were terrible.
‘I wasn't happy to see your report card. So I stopped checking them! ’
My mom was the mother of a dropout.
She struggled a lot as a parent.
At last, she made a decision.
ーLet it goー
‘Teen agers don't listen to their parents. It's OK if your kid doesn't study. There are some things more important than that!’
‘Enjoy your kid's adolescence!’
My mom said optimistically.
She's right,but it's not easy to stay calm when it comes to your kids.
You understand what you should do,but still you can't stop nagging your kids,right??
Let me go back to Ms.H's son.
He is a very charming boy.
He came to our PTA party last time and took care of all kids there.
(There are 10 kids. From 3 years old to 15.)
My sons liked him immediately and kept asking me when they could get together again.
Ms. H's son is going to be a good man.
It doesn't matter whether his grads are good or bad now.
BUT, for his mother,there are too many things about him for her to worry over.
‘I want to give up being a parent!!’
She cries.
Don't worry!!
You have a lot of company to share your feelings.
Smile!
