Mom to the rescue
Responding to my blog of 22nd August 2004, Sunday, entitled "Mommy dearest".
My mother offered to loan me money to survive the rest of the month - Her intuition leaves me aghast. I was low for the month and would only receive my pay next week. Sensing my plight, she offered me $50 for my daily expenses.
It goes to reiterate my point - Mothers know their children best. It's sad to hear stories of children not getting along with their parents. Nothing could hurt them more than a child disregarding them. With their concern often misinterpreted as nagging, I am largely guilty of it. I still get the "drink more water" and "sleep early" treatment, as well as the occasional "how's your school thing coming along?" Yes, I've been procrastinating on my application to a foreign university. Only makes sense for my mother to be concerned. As a young adult, I do feel that their "over-protectiveness" can be unnecessary - We all want to be independent and not do as we're told. They will always be who they are, and we will always be a child in their eyes.
I should get my application done soon, but I'll have to work out the mathematics first - It's gonna cost. I can't rely on my parents too much, and I won't. I don't think it's a pride issue here, just that it's time to embrace life's challenges and derive solutions for yourself. They won't be around forever you know..
