Being a Mother is no joke

Rocket science would have been easier to cope!

This constant state of not knowing

The right from wrong of what I am doing.

Maybe I am not giving them enough quality time

Or am I indulging their wishes all the while?

Maybe I don’t hug and kiss them as much

Or is it an excess of attention and touch?

I am not raising them to value what they have

I am not raising them to be nice and behave.

Are they to others needs and wishes averse?

Have I made them the centre of my universe?

Is two days a week too much screen time

But if I don’t allow, will they be left behind?

After school I pack them off to class

Shouldn’t I allow some time-pass?

Maybe painting, chess and piano

Or tennis…. I don’t know!

I should ensure they do their homework in time

Or should I let them take responsibility and decide?

With them I should do more fun activities

Or maybe towards hard work, they should have more proclivity?

We should enrich their experiences with more trips

But does it end up becoming only about pool, pizza and chips?

Am I reading to them enough?

Will they ever read by themselves if I read so much?

Am I playing with them enough?

Will they befriend others if I engage them so much?

Maybe I lose my temper with them too fast

Or do I give in too easily to their demands?

Am I a very strict mother?

Or too lenient, so they don’t bother?

Uff! This constant state of confusion...

I wish there was a simple solution...

An answer to all my exasperation...

To quieten this daily mental commotion!
