No tiger mom, no helicopter mom, how Ophie Dee raised this daughter to be the best she can be
Unconditional love is not a myth where my mother is concerned. She was the type of mom who just loved and accepted me for all that I was and I am, imperfections and all. So, if there’s one thing that’s empowered me to overcome the most difficult challenges to be the best I can be, it’s the fact that I know my mother would be there for me no matter what.
She was not the tiger mom who would make sure my grades were nothing less than As. In fact, there were times she wouldn’t even check my report cards. Nor was she a helicopter mom who was always looking over my shoulder and ordering me to do one task after another. She never demanded much from me yet she was always quick to offer praise for what little good I did.
