Though I am your mother, never call me mom. It is what I am, but not who I am. My name is how you shall address me. You will give me the same respect and accord you treat any other, no more, no less. The character you become is from the examples and experiences you live through our world's shared responsibility of raising you. Know this, being that I am the entity which gave you breath I am the sole entity with the right to remove it. My personal responsibility is your discipline, this is the job of every mother and the pride aspired for having us never to enforce it.
