Mom made me worried

Philippines
February 29, 2016 4:35pm CST
Didn't get to sleep early last night. I heard a doorbell around nine in the evening but I just ignore it. But then I received a call from one of her friends, told her that she went out. And another call from the same person, finally told me that they have important matter to discuss. Unfortunately, this time she didn't tell me were she went so I was kinda worried already. But luckily, she left her phone and I decided to check for messages to get a clue were she went. Turns out she went to the village office, had a meeting w/ the chairman and all the senior officers. Because of that I wasn't worried much anymore. Now, I realized how hard it is for a parent to worried about their children who leaves with out permission. Mom gets mad all the time when ever I go home late, but that's because of my school work.

It's true, especially as parents age, they cause us a great deal of worry.

@enlightenedpsych2 My mother aged great until 95 and then it went down hill rather quickly. She is 100, still healthy as a horse, or a pony since she is tiny but her mind has not survived as well.

You must be thankful of what your Mom does, now you know how it felt when we children came home late and leave the house without permission, we can't ignore if someone of the members of the house not coming home at the right time and without our knowledge where they go, we really felt worry if where they are, so you can testify it to your siblings that not asking permission to our parents of where to go makes them worry.

Hello @ida123 well, Im not one of those people who mostly goes home late night from partying. but they were times I came home late because of my thesis and feasibility studies. I wasn't much of a party person as it was such a waste of time. Not sure what they did when they were young, but I definitely wasn't goofing around.

@Letranknight2015 Good that you are a good child to your Mom and I'm happy to know that you are not a party goer, we almost can't see this kind of doings of young generation nowadays. Congrats to your Mom.

You said it right, young man! We worry so much for the safety of our children. That is why, I always want to know (if they went out), if they arrived safe & with whom. Next is, if they're coming home already, what vehicle are they boarded & what time are they supposed to reach home. Call me a worrier, because I really am.

Hello @KnehKnah when kids grow up, they want to feel mature or think they have grown up that they don't want their parents to bug them.there are times wished i could go back and appreciate my mom's worry some attitude because I know it was just meant for my safety. they wouldn't realize it until they have grown up or become parents themselves.

@Letranknight2015 And sometimes you didn't like being told, "take care!"? If you, young people, only know what "take care" means from us, your parents. It means, eat at the right time, drive safely, don't get wet in the rain because you might catch cold, be with the right people...

Glad that you take care of each other so well. My husband leaves me a written note pinned on the fridge if he cannot inform me in person.

This is why whether we are a parent or a child we ought to tell our whereabouts to our loved ones whenever we are leaving home.

She should have brought her phone or let you know - so you do not have to worry especially being out alone at 9pm - it's pretty late for parents (or well mine too!)
