No Time With Mom

8/18/2014

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

With such a big family, you can imagine that it’s hard to find alone time with any one member of the family. My mom and I have always been extremely close, but having a conversation during the day is almost impossible. Between cries of “Mommy!” and “Hey that was my toy!” and “She pushed me!” there are interruptions every five seconds.
Sometimes it can really frustrate me that I can only say two words before someone interrupts us, especially when the story that I’m trying to convey wasn’t that long. Stories go from being two minutes long to ten minutes long because I can’t get a full sentence out. It’s pretty annoying. But at the end of the night, after all of the younger kids are in bed, I get some alone time with my mom. We can sit and talk on the couch, watch a television show together, and finish all of the conversations we tried to start throughout the day. Sometimes we still get interrupted (if one of the little kids won’t stop talking and go to sleep), but overall, it’s really peaceful at night.

Sometimes, especially with new foster kids in the house, it can feel like you never get a minute alone with your parents. But when you compare the need for alone time with the need for love and caring that those children have, you know that it’s worth it to save up your stories for the end of the night. I’d much rather spend time with all of the kids during the day, because I wouldn’t have half of the stories I do without them.

I’d greatly appreciate it if you would share this blog with friends and family through your favorite social media sites. If you’re sharing on Twitter, don’t forget to tag me (@TayTayK02) and use the hashtag #TaylorTalks.

Thanks!
Taylor

    About

    Picture
    My family started doing foster care when I was three years old. We took in nineteen children over the course of eighteen years, with our last placement leaving in December 2014. I'm the only biological child in my family, though my parents adopted five of my siblings.

    I love to share my perspective on the foster care system and share how my unique upbringing shaped my life.

    I'm also a Cast Member at Walt Disney World and lover of all things Disney! My career allows me the opportunity to find a little bit of Magic in life every day.


    I enjoy sharing my journey as a writer as well. Find my children's books on Amazon and keep following my blog for updates on future books that I'll be releasing!
