Being a mother never comes easy. Rather being a woman itself is challenging. The journey from an innocent girl to a growing teenager, then to a responsible woman and finally followed by a dedicated and selfless mother is full of ups and downs. At every step, a woman has to face life at its best and worst.  But when it comes to parenting, things are totally different. One has to put their children before them.

To be present in your children’s memories tomorrow, one has to be a part of their today. When everyone follows this golden rule of parenting, Kristen Hewitt who is a public figure had a different say on it. She decides to skip her daughter’s award ceremony only because of an unbelievable reason. The reason is something not many people appreciate.

The Reason

Why?

Unacceptable

People called this mother’s say as something “unacceptable”. She gives her side of excuse for not attending her daughter’s award ceremony in a Facebook post. And her reason was highly condemned. It was strange that people showed such strong disapproval towards it. Everyone said just one thing, “How could she miss an important date in her child’s life that too because of a reason like this”. What did she do?
