I always end up buying fragrance for her on Mother’s Day because I know it’s something she’ll like and she’ll use. Otherwise, I may run the risk of having her reject the gift and then having to bring it back home.
My mum can be a bit hard to please and I realized that I didn’t accurately reflect my thoughts the last time I wrote this. Blood is thicker than water but precisely because of that, I get disappointed whenever she doesn’t show her support for me. In fact, I always feel terribly dejected and I know I’m not alone feeling such.
A couple of weeks ago, I heard two of my teens complaining loudly about how their mothers have been scolding them real hard and even after they have apologised, the scolding continued. I really hope that I won’t become like that when my son grows up.
Why is it people whom we love or whom we are close to don’t seem to realize that they have the power by their words and their actions to cause us pain where it hurts most? Or maybe they know it and they’re using it to show us their power? And even more unfortunately, the state of our relationships always define the level of our happiness.
I know it’s Mother’s Day and I should be singing praises. But I’m griefing inside and I just don’t feel like saying anything nice today.
Freaky..!! i bought the same perfume.. the other day.. for myself..! it went on sale here .. at Superstore.
i hope i won’t be like my mum either.. with chloe. i would hate to think that we all grow to be our moms ultimately.

Happy Mother’s Day, sesame! Don’t worry, it is not present that counts, it is the thought. Hope you had a good one.
