this was a thought in a small book which was calles 'life's little instruction book" that said if ur mom says u'll regret one day for doing something or not doing something then u'll ,at that time i was a teenager and a quite rebellious one means i hardly did what my parents said and when i obeyed them it was not giving me any result so gain it used to 'inspire' me in a way to not follow them what they say ..... when i read this though i had lil 'scare' in my heart ,and i was like finger crossed ,okk lemme see ,kind of attitude ,and today after 10 odd yrs that thought proved to be right ,my mom said u need to have a career to be urself and then i said probably i'll be better as a housewife ,and i admit she was correct ,though now i'm trying for writing as probably i'll never be able to leave my child to a creche or to maids but i hv realised i need to have a career besides household work , do u have any experience like this ???

I always try to obey my mom and always listen what she says. I'm so much repect her. But there are some time that I don't want to listen to what she said. Sometimes I think she's just to much talking and I don't want being lecture by her anymore. And more she talk then I would be more rebellious. And usually it would end with me regret what I've done coz I didn't hear what she said. I think we should hear what out mother said. Mom always know what the best for her children.

I did some things that I should not have done, and my mother said that I would live to regret it, and she was right.

Lots and lots lol. Everything my mom said, I just had to disobey her and just because she HAD to say something on everything,I got all the more pissed off with her. She never explained anything to me, just ordered my to obey her coz she was more experienced, saw life more than I did (at that time at least). Generally, all elders are correct in predicting situations because they have indeed seen more than us and life has taught them more lessons than we have learnt. So it is advisable to just listen to your elders but that does not mean that you have to blindly obey them without your own discretion. Another thing is like me,you too have become a mother now. Make a promise to yourself that you will never never impose your decisions, dreams and aspirations on your child. Always listen to what your child has to say, discuss situations with him/her and help him/her to grow as mature individuals. We made many mistakes not because we did not listen to our mothers, but because we could not grow into mature individuals capable of taking right decisions and for this I blame those interfering parents who do not let children make mistakes and learn from them. Let your child make mistakes, s/he should understand that making mistakes is a part of life, avoiding them is not. Its only when they themselves go through mistakes and fall hard, will they learn to get up and stand tall again.

Many times my mother has told me that I will regret doing something and always I have. She is very right about many things because our mothers are wise women. I do have a chosen profession but I am not currently in it. My mother was right that I should have finished college and I would make more money at my profession, but I didn't listen and thought I could work my way up, but it's not happening. So, yeah, I can say that I have experienced this!

yes, I rebellious as a teen and refused to listen to my mom. I think most teens are like that. Looking back she was right in most of her warnings. Still, I have no regrets. I've learned lots and I've learned it all well. And how did my mom get to be so smart? Probably the same way I did....from experience.
