Mothers

Hey guys, it's Mothers Day tomorrow! Go prepare something special for your mummies! :-)

Why?
Well, they deserve it, don't they? When you were young, your mum was like the saviour of your life. When you are scared, sick, aren't they always there for you? And whenever you yearn for a toy, most moms would definitely try their best to get it for you unless they find that it won't do any good for you right? But even if they don't let you guys will continuously whine right? In the end, they will still get it for you. Why? Because they love you. They don't want you to be sad or have a bad impression of them in your minds. But what happens when we get older? Teenagers are getting more rebellious these days. It's like, "What sia*, she don't want me to do, I purposely want to show her I can!" That self-centered attitude.
*sia - This word is a singlish word. Just to emphasise the previous word before the word 'sia'

I do know that some teenagers out there will think like "I feel that my mum is like a outdated mother, only know how to nag and scold, don't know how to be in our shoes and feel for us." Especially this line that 70% of teenagers should have thought of this before. "At this critical moment, I should officially declare my entire dubiety of the fact that she is probably not my biological mum." Then after that you will start comparing your mothers like "Walao, why my mother not like blahblahblah's." You know that feeling? Then, when your parents compare you to other students, you complain, you feel hurt. Then do you know how much more hurt they will feel if they know that you keep comparing them? They took up their time to nurture you, to grow you. And do you think that when you were in her womb, did you think it was easy carrying you guys? Did you know when she gave birth to you, that moment it's so painful? When you were born, at first sight she saw you, she think it's worth it, all the pain and troubles. And now? You are there complaining, whining after what they did for you?

Yes, I did complain about my mum before, but not all the time, not now. Never did I ever complain about her ever since I step into secondary school. When I did complain about her, I will feel guilty and want to take back my words aftermath.

Ok fine, I admit, who likes being scolded, nagged at, yelled at, demanded to do this and that as if you were born to slave or something. Who doesn't hate it when your mum just doesn't understand you no matter how hard you try to explain but she still insists that she does? Who likes it when your mum shouts at you in front of everyone else as if she's oblivious to the crowd, making you feel like you need a hole on a floor to hide your face. Who likes it when your mum is being god darn unreasonable and all you wish is just to try and fight for your own rights or maybe trying to explain to her but she claims that you are talking back to her.

then how about the one who made your day when you started crying all day long. The one who fork out the extra time and go an extra mile just to make you happy. The one who tolerated when you repeated the same old line when you wanted to buy your favourite toy? If she nags, it just means she care. I mean, the worse it them not trying. If she rejects you, she doesn't want to spoil you. If she shouts, it proves that she cares for you. If she hits you, take it as a lesson for not behaving, for not listening to her. If she doesn't trust you, question yourself if you are worth the trust first. If she doesn't listen, of course don't talk to her when she's angry. That's stupid, just be patient.

I believe that all mothers would still love their child no matter rain or shine, otherwise they would have dumped you into some orphanage or even worse, killed you before you even seen the world, instead of suffering the 9 months of pain. If you think that your mother doesn't love you, spare her that few minutes or seconds to take a second thought.

Think of how fortunate you are to be in this world with a mum when some other kids in the same world, doesn't get to enjoy such love, such joy, such luxury. Be happy for what you have and not dwell on what you don't. At the end of the day, no matter what they do, be forgiving and remind yourself of all the hardship she has gone through to make you what you have today.

Remember this line, without our mothers, we wouldn't have us today, now.

That's it for today. Bye guys :-)
