A/N: Written for the Bring Your Kid to Work challenge: Molly/Ginny
Angsty poem fic, Molly is very OOC
you want her to grow up be just like you (but you already know she won't be)
M/O/L/L/Y/
you even named her after you [Ginevra Molly Weasley]
but sweet pea, you are
d

you w-a-i-t-e-d for years for her {boy? another? let's try again}
you had six 'mistakes' before her. You always wanted a girl so she could be just like you
whyohwhyohwhy do you try and get her to be just like you, molly?
she's her own person!
she wants to be h/e/r/s/e/l/f, like all teenage girls do
but you don't want her fa-ll-in-g for boys and playing Qu-id-it-ch
you/want/her/home/with you
You Take Her To Your Work (bUT yOU dON'T hAVE a rEAL jOB)
but she finds cooking and cleaning mundane...
Molly Weasley always wanted a d-a-u-g-h-t-e-r
She got one
you wanted to have a mini Molly
But had a
/strong/
/beautiful/
/courageous/
not-so-little-anymore girl who faught her own battles
and wore her scars proudly
You do(n't do) that too
You are proud of yourself and want her to proud of herself too
"So" "you" "take" "her" "to" "your" "work" "and" "try" "and" "show" "her" "how" "family" "is" "meant" "to" "be"
[with beautiful relationships of mum and daughter]
but she just wants to play Quidditch
So you stop asking her to come to work with you
. . . . . . .
And now? Once again? YoU hEaD bAcK tO wOrK.
She joins you s/o/m/e/t/i/m/e/s (not enough),
you two cooking and cleaning for the big family events
[She] {tells} (you) [[about]] {{her}} ((wedding plans))
-you wish she let you help more-
And.
about.
her.
struggles.
You take her to "work" but she doesn't get it as me/and/you time
she sees it as boring w-o-r-k.
In-the-kitchen (your workplaceofficesecondhome), she-tells-you-she's-having-a-girl.
Her name is not Molly. She will not be Molly.
So you CONGRATULATE her and c.r.y a little (lot)
and Lily Luna enters the world
and you forget your sadness and selfish heartbreak and put on the mask you wear
the one that says you're not like this
[selfish-sometimes. bossy-most times. slightly-controlling]
because you are tired of everyone you
love
d

But because you're a mother
As they All Go FAR FAR AWAY, leaving you to once again go to work.
SO a LITTLE girl COMES into THE world WITH your
eyes/hair/face/
and you want to preserve your family. And wouldn't it be nice if she was just like you?
[Ginievra Molly Weasley] would rather you not take her to work.
