Mother # a changing phenomenon
Happy Mother's Day , a little late realisationπ
As mothers always existed with the advent of civilization π
When it was never celebrated, it was meant in every way π₯°
Now with innumerable GIFs, and messages, nothing much is left to say π
When we were young did we realize our Mom's affection was priceless π€
When we have become parents ourselves, we have discovered that it's matchless π₯°
No love can be as unconditional as hers π
Everything else comes with the tag "t n c apply" forever.π
In the world of "You scratch my and I scratch your back" π
It's only with a Mom , who will love even if you don't love her back π
Being kids ourselves , how many times have we lied π and have been caught π
Although honesty is the best policy, we had always been taught .π
But saving our skin and still pulling up pranks was the agenda π
Who cared we went to heaven or hell, was then our Funda πππ
How many times just to get our demand fulfilled we have refused to eat π
Feeling really stubborn, not ready to accept defeatπ£
Trying and testing our parents through emotional blackmailπ
All those tantrums had always disappointingly failed π
Mom was not the one to give up easily on her child's whims and fancies ππ
But our kids are way smarter than what we used to be .
π€―π€―π€―
Here we are always ready to please our children π€
Any small issue with them and we get easily frightened π¬
Any unacceptable behavior is ascribed to their ageπ§ or stress π΅
"Oh he/ she is entering the teens or tweens( pre-teens )" the excuse is practically useless π
How come we never got the benefit of this "teen thing" for being unmannerly ππ
For us the age part was ignored π, as we were expected to be always behave courteously π
Now everything is taken as teen behavior π
For kids, this excuse has become the greatest savior π
# Showering for half an hour without getting clean π€¨
Oh relax , he/ she is after all a teen π
I guess it's the modern parental attitude to blame π€· π
If we don't behave like the way we ought, how can from the kids we expect the same.π¬
We start our conversation with our children saying, Please dearπ
As if we are feeling apologetic and have something to fear.π¬
While our parents never believed in any such formality π
Just telling us what to do, made us do it, as a necessity π
We always felt immediately guilty after replying back to our Motherπ₯²
When our kids do the same, we simply walk away , no words we utter ππ
When they are later reprimanded for it and asked to explain π€¨
In their defense, they say, was trying to put my view across, never accepting the blame π
If we ask them to study harder πͺ
They shall say , stop putting undue pressure π€
If we ask them to mind their manners π♀️
They say , first teach the same to others ππ♀️
If we say tidy up your room π€·♀️
Yes Mom! Once my game is over , I shall do it soon π€·♂️
As present day mothers π© we want to be our kids' best friend ❤
But also dont want to be taken for granted at every end π
Today in the morning π My son came to me and said with a hug π«, I won't wish you HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY
Since you also just gave me a hug and never wished me HAPPY CHILDREN'S DAY
SO TIT FOR TAT π
Before going , he said Mom you need to go for a walk as
YOU ARE GETTING FAT π

DeleteHahahah, parenting (especially for mothers) has become a whole different ball game now - with the amount of exposure, expectations, the labellings, the peer pressure, the things children are picking up!
