强化小学生英语阅读训练：You don’t love me

You dont love me!

How many times have your kids laid that one on you?

And how many times have you, as a parent, resisted the urge to tell them how much?

Someday, when my children are old enough to understand the logic that motivates a mother, Ill tell them.

I loved you enough to bug (使烦恼) you about where you were going, with whom, and what time you would get home.

I loved you enough to insist you buy a bike with your own money that we could afford and you couldnt.

I loved you enough to be silent and let you discover your handpicked (精心挑选的) friend was a creep (讨厌的人).

I loved you enough to stand over you for two hours while you cleaned your bedroom, a job that would have taken me fifteen minutes.

I loved you enough to let you see anger, disappointment, disgust and tears in my eyes.

I loved you enough not to make excuses for your lack of respect or your bad manners.

I loved you enough to admit that I was wrong and asked your forgiveness.

I loved you enough to ignore what every other mother did or said.

I loved you enough to let you stumble, fall, hurt and fail.

I loved you enough to let you assume the responsibility for your own actions, at six, ten, or sixteen.

I loved you enough to shove you off my lap, let go of your hand, be mute to your pleas(恳求)... so that you had to stand alone.

I loved you enough to accept you for what you are, not what I wanted you to be.

But most of all, I loved you enough to say no when you hated me for it. That was the hardest part of all.

Help:

stand over to be near sb and watch them监督;监视

stumble v. to walk or move in an unsteady way跌跌撞撞地走

mute adj. not speaking沉默的
