Ah, the age old tradition of mommy mania. All of us have experienced that constant urging and cajoling about everything we do or don't from our dear mommies. Of course, when one is on the receiving end, it feels more of a nagging, especially those teenage years, where you hear the loudest. From waking up early on a holiday, watching TV, talking on phone to eating healthy and doing homework, sometimes made us wonder if they were born obsessed about everything.
And now that we are parents, the perspective takes a 180 degree turn. When it comes to us telling our kids, we want what is best for them. And suddenly nagging becomes worrying!! Interestingly, both words (nag and worry) have pretty much the same connotations. It just changes our perception depending on which side of the fence we are on. Our parents were probably right when they said; we would understand when we had our children.
Women seem to develop this syndrome the moment their baby is born. And as much as we are exasperated by our mothers and our children by us, it is something that makes us feel loved and cared for. And of course it amuses us too! We do sometimes make fun of them and would definitely miss it if moms weren’t the way they are supposed to be – all cute and quirky!
