'who sat and watched my infant head....' I'm sure most of you are familiar with that ode. It's expected that we (children) become submissive and have a penchant for them due to their sacrifice. This to me is herculean.

Mothers could be over-domineering at times. 'make sure you do that work or no food for you.' Mothers could be meddlesome. 'tell me na let me help u.' They could be provocative as well amongst other things.

I really hope i can see through these disturbing points and show her the love she deserves

in good or bad times, they got our back. What can we do without them??

She wakes up by 5am when others are asleep, cleans the house, prepares food, bathes the little children, washes their clothes before having time for herself. Hmmm...

When i'm down, she's down. I cry, she cries. When in trouble, she bails me out. Injured, she attends to me. Rebellious yet she's forgiven. But her loquacity, tantrums, reprimandment and all that turns me off.

Are they words of wisdom/constructive criticisms? (rhetorical question)
