Because I said so…Mothers Know best??

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.
