"Selina, as a mother, you need to be very patient. You've always been a very impulsive and impatient girl. It's time you learn this." Cecilia advised.
"No mother, I've changed a lot now." Selina muttered.
She had been a mother for a few years now.
She felt that her temper had changed dramatically since.
Although she was still impatient for a lot of things, she was especially patient when it came to her children.
Cecilia smiled, "You're my daughter and I know you best. I can still see that burning ball of impatience inside you. You must always remind yourself, you are a mother now, and as a mother, you have to be tolerant of your children. This is what every mother has to do."
"Sabrina is bound to do all kinds of things that will upset you, but you mustn't lose your temper."
Ceclia then covered her mouth as she said, "You know, as a child you were absolutely insufferable. But I just said to myself that this is my daughter and I'm her mother. That's how I comforted
myself."
Selina was speechless.
"Really?" She asked.
"It's true." Cecilia continued, "So, from now on, you'll need to be much more patient with Sabrina."
Cecilia's advice opened Selina's eyes.
Selina was feeling a lot better now.
She was right!
"There's no changing that fact!"
No matter how arrogant Sabrina was, she was still her daughter!
What's more, she had been just the same when she was her age!
Sabrina must have gotten it from her!
Selina felt relieved.
After that, Cecilia went to speak to Matthew.
