Moms they say are the best gift of God, though we don’t feel this until the reality strikes us. My mom is the person I predominantly fight with on random topics. Those doltish topics includes my dressing,types of friends,food habits,rules, regulations,behavioural pattern etc etc….

Sometimes the arguments takes a heated upshot which later results in a hushed atmosphere at home. The common thing I do when I am denied of my choices is that I compare; comparison with friends’ cool mom’s, cousins’ mom’s, neighbors’ mom’s who nearly allow them for every pointless whims and desires of their kids.

I even raise those arguments to the level where I tell her that she’ll never understand me, though for the matter of fact I don’t mean so.

Regarding my attire she never allows me to wear revealing dresses or shorts when I leave my house. She even accompanies me for shopping just to keep a check on my attire which I buy. It sometimes gets to my nerves as I see people around me wearing those clothes , so why not me? She just tells me one thing i.e these dresses deteriorate your class and innocence.

Yeah really! But everyone wears those dresses so what’s the problem with me doing the same.

So once she came up with an out of the world idea . She took me to a shop and sat there leaving me undisturbed to chose whatever dress I desired to wear. So there was a backless dress which I tried and thought to myself “how will I carry myself on the street wearing this dress?” I asked my mom that isn’t it too revealing? She smiled and said, “ why so, you always wanted a backless right?” I couldn’t think of a perfect reaction and just smiled there like a fool. Couldn’t it be like more self explanatory.

This was just an instance as my super mom has an outstanding solution to every unacceptable whims of mine.

I still have a tons of complaints against her regarding restrictions from going out with male friends, staying out late and several other things which pops up in her brain from time to time. Mostly she suspects me of having a secret boyfriend. I think this is a common suspicion of all moms. I understand her point at times but there are times when I get offended.

But even with all these things if I’m asked to change my mom with my friend’s so called ideal mother my answer will always be a big NO. Because I love my mom more than anyone else and though she stops me form doing certain things but I somewhere know the reason behind that. It may seem unacceptable at the first place but as she always say “you will understand this when you will become a mother yourself”.
