Re: Considering remarriage !!

I am a single mother and alhumdullilah have two beautiful teenagers. Their father passed away and I decided not to get married as they were both young at that time… But what worries me now is that my kids soon will be on their own? Will they ever appreciate that I gave up my dreams for them ? Will they be there for me when I grow older and need them? All my friends with children warn me that this is a new generation and we shouldn’t expect any thIng from them. They will fly away for better opportunities. We shouldn’t depend on them or hold them back because of our needs. So what should a person like me do? Life is already lonely and I can see it getting worse with time. Should I consider getting re-married. If I don’t do it now, I may not get a chance later as life is passing by so fast.

The new order of society is that we are the last generation who looked after their parents, you raise children to enjoy raising them and not with the expectation that there is a return or payback at the end of it. If they care for you they will support you. I dedicated my life for them but I don’t see that as a sacrifice because the pleasure of raising them is the biggest reward I can ask for. Firstly I look after myself and hopefully wont need any help, if I doo I would love to be in a senior home. senior homes can have great interactions. Even if my kids are willing to dedicate their life to me, I wouldn’t allow it as I don’t want to hold them back. My wifes sister recently passed away at a young age she had 4 sons and they all said nice stuff but were all away from her in different city, only husband took care of her. If you are happier you can be a better mother also.
