Broken Cassette Player: "Is that you mom?"

I am also a daughter and now a mother with 3 kids. my kids are grown ups (teenagers) and yes, I do nag at times when they don't follow advises or do thing that are not supposed to. You will understand why mother's nag once you become a family man yourself.

My mother was more encouraging. She was the kind of person who would show us why something had to be done. She was the kind of person who would get us to go out and do something. My mother was really cool, she still is, but I feel kind of bad for her at times. She always means well, but she doesn't always go about things the way that she should. I love my mother, but I know that she isn't perfect.

When I was growing up, my mother really did want the best from my siblings and myself. She would always push us so that we would always perform to the best of our abilities. Now that we are all grown, she is still a mother to us as she is sometimes still able to offer us advice that only an older person can offer, but more than that, I have to say that I really see my mother more as a friend than anything at this point in time.

My mom is 85 years and above and I am almost half of it. Still, when I go to my mom, I used sit near to her and keep my had on her lap and we used to play around and will have fun. I know how much she loved me (5 of us) as her children and how much troubles she had suffered us to bring to the light. As a loving child, it is my duty to give her happy times and express my love towards her. She is living far way alongwith one of my sister and I used make phone calls every now and then. If I didn't make a call within 4-5 days, she may be unhappy and feel bad. Mother is mother and there is no substitue to it for ever [my earlier discussion topic]. We can see the pure love only with a mother and it is not so sweet anywher else. If your mom were so dear to you, there is pure love in her mind, which may not be identified by you and her heart may be weeking in the darkness.

hi, when i was studying at high school and college my mother always told e to study hard,don't be late at school,and go home after my class,and i followed what she said except to go home early after my class because usually in college we still had some bonding moment after class so i cant really go home early as i can during that time.

Nope, I avoid my mother at all costs. She wants to try and control all of us, I believe she is jealous of us, which is why she is so negative, and disrespectful.

I think all mother are like that they are really responsible to taught us many things in life. Specially for boys they have more expectation for once a boy will become a family man. I once become like that to my daughters as they grew up they still have my guidance.

Yeah! She was like that all my school days and until now with my brothers. I do appreciate her knowledge, wisdom and take on things, but I worry about her blood pressure! She's hypertensive and if she goes on and on scolding my brothers about their lack of responsibility or some other things that she finds unappealing, she'll end up raising her blood pressure and I'd be doing the broken-record tone with her! hahahaha.. One time, she was so stressed about something that my brother did that I had to intervene. I told her eventually (that made her calm down and laugh) that she should record her nags so that she don't need to be stressed out every morning, we could just play it and let it blast through the speakers everyday so that she could rest her dear heart. hahahaha.. I love my mom, we don't agree sometimes, but she's the best mom in the world. Even my partner would attest that my mom is golden. Have a great mylot experience ahead!

Yes, my mom was like that too. When I was still in junior high school, my mom would say a lot of warnings--don't do this or that.Come home it's raining outside, etc. like exactly what you said here. She stopped critcizing me when I grew older and matured. She though I was old enough to know which was right, and which was wrong.

I think all moms are almost always at our back to remind us things to do. That is just how moms are. When we are younger, we do not want to be always told what to do. And I am guilty of ever felling bad about it. Now that I am a mother, even though I do not want to be a nag, I just couldn't stop worrying of certain things, like I have to tell my sons everyday before leaving for school if they brought their umbrellas, are their ID's with them, etc. A mom is a mom. They will forever be one.

Well, for me, my mother is still light in the house! I love  so much to my mother. This love that I have for it, is even closer by the fact that I still live at home with my family. I have not the opportunity to settle outside of it. With my mom, however, I have always had a great relationship up from my childhood, and now that I'm 37 years old, I consider myself to still be a mama's boy, because when I'm a few days away from home, perhaps on vacation, she me, I miss her very much!

I am a daughter and the eldest among the four siblings. I just remember how my mother would scold us, my sisters and brother for not doing this and that. Well, that was almost several years ago and now I have my own family. My children are also grown ups and there are times that when I lost my temper, I would start talking just like what my mother did. My children would just ignore me and they won't answer back. That's when I remember my mother with her non-stop talking several years ago, and that will just made me smile. Then, I would tell my children, we will visit grand mother.

Mothers are always a mother as what they said, all they want is the best for their children. They sometimes sacrifice their own happiness just to give happiness for their children but most of don't understand and appreciate it; not because we are a bad children it's because we don't understand of being a mother. It's normal to keep on reminding our children to do their best, and be a good person in the future. It's not normal if everyday our parents nag at us. Perhaps we sometimes trigger their emotion to nag us. Nagging and reminding is totally different. Your mom is lucky because she has a son like you who respects and you are also lucky because you have a mom like her who always wants the best for you. In my case, my mom is always teaching me to live a life that is pleasing to God and to have a worth while experience here on earth. My mo is indeed a very loving mom, kind and meek.
