As the old saying "getting old with money is better then having a son". To think of it..quite true though. If you are not depentant on your children, life is so...so much better, you can actually speak louder and firmly, speak your mind answer with your head high up. Otherwise you just kept quite and said "Sorry"no matter who is in the wrong and then go to your room and cried your heart out, the feeling is always better after a good cry because I cry easy and do that all the time.
The mother is always an idol in the heart of a child because they try their best to give.
Into their teens...they'll ask you for opinion the mother is like an adviser during this time.
Thing started to change a little when they are working and they became the mother's adviser.
Great changes when they have their own kids...everything the mother suggest or do is "Old School".
We as grandparent just follow instruction the maid is smarter and clever than us.
How true it is...being a smart Mom, just blend in...talk when neccessry, just keep quiet and behave, thank God I can divert my attention to my 2 lovely grandsons, they are my consolation...
