I was overthinking about being a mother to my boys yesterday (me, overthink! No! . I so overthink-working on it) not good enough etc so I decided to create a spread. I created a complicated one but I was so tired by the time I pulled it I simplified it.
This is an interesting spread. I’ve never thought about creating a spread to get insight into my parenting, but this is a good idea for when things are feeling rough or difficult! I love it I may add it to my own collection of spreads, if you don’t mind? I’ll have to adjust it a bit because I only have one child, but this could come in handy!
It sounds like a very helpful spread that gave you a gentle push in a positive direction! It’s a very well-thought-out design- I can tell you put a lot of care into deciding the card meanings and positions.
It helps to know what I carry forward from the generational teaching (good and bad) and how I can support my boys in developing into who they are meant to be.
I am grateful for the tarot as it helps redirect and guide. Each child needs something different to thrive and one child isn’t like me so I don’t always understand him and the other is too like me so I may make the mistake of assuming I know what he needs. And I don’t know what I don’t know so the spread helps me see and learn.
Plus I was super happy the cards also told me everything is fine, the boys are fine. My husband and therapist tell me that too but I seem to believe the cards more
Funny-on Mother’s Day, I told my 15 year old I was proud of who he was becoming- that he is taking what we have taught him along with his life experience and developing into his own awesome person. I told him I was grateful he shares his thoughts and his take on things with us. He told me I was weird.
haha that sounds exactly like something a teenager would say I’m glad you got insight with the spread – even if it’s something you already heard from your husband and therapist lol sometimes, the information is more readily taken in when we think it’s our idea. I’m totally guilty of that, too
My daughter will say things like this to me too She’s like… um… okay… thank you… I’m not sure what to say to that… then proceeds to head to her bedroom
