But why mum? Because I said so….
A famous line used by most mothers. A
line that is used when mothers know best, well we hope they do. There comes a
stage in a girl’s life when all a mother wants to see is her daughter happy and
with someone.
When one is single sometimes there are
certain amounts of pressure we encounter from our parents especially
mothers. Often they feel the need to set
up their daughters with a suitable man that will look after them and make their
daughter happy. However more pressure is placed on a person especially if they
are the ones who are not accustomed to having a boyfriend and more so it can be
worse when their siblings are in relationships.
Attending a family friend’s braai over
the weekend, I had been introduced to two handsome gentlemen who were friends
of the family and all I remember was my mother turning to me and saying “ooooohh
see you should come things more often”. Not feeling embarrassed but more
pressured at the fact that there was this expectation of having a boyfriend or
making conversation with these two guys.
All mothers want to see is their child
happy and in that moment I understood a mother’s duty to see their child happy
even though it can be at the expense of them making blush in front of cute boys.
Regardless of this all a mother wants to do is look out for you. Next time you
here these words; “Because I said so” don’t argue just be happy she is always
there to protect you.
