I love my mother to death like every1 else here I believe she has all the great qualities a mother possesses-especially her caring and sacrificing nature.
I have a friend who is in his 6th year of college(no that was not a typo).Anyway, his mother is a great lady and all but she never ever seems to tell him to study or get his act together nor does she stress education in the lives of any of her kids. Her husband has a low paying job and because he didnt get a decent education himself, his son (my friend) has to work and help support the house and yet the parents don't say anything. I was wondering if this was normal or is she still a great mother?
I mean as a mom wouldn't you want your kids to get ahead in life and do well? Why doesn't she ever say anything to them??
Perhaps your friend's mother does lecture him at times. We can't really tell what goes on in other people's houses because we don't live with them. Maybe mom put more pressure on education when your friend was younger and now mom is just tired of reminding him because he's older and more independent. Maybe education was not valued in mom's own family and she continued the same sentiments after having kids. Maybe her kids don't explain to her what's going on in school or how the education system works. Maybe when she asks them, they give her the impression that everything is under control so she won't be worried. It could be that she's not well- informed. Perhaps your friend has switched majors several times. Or maybe she thinks that her children are receiving more education than her husband......and will eventually get there (graduate). Shrugs....I dunno.
Desigirl786, it took me a while to get through my studies too. My dad fell sick and had one stroke after another for two years straight. He had a total of three. I worked full time and went to school full time and did everything I physically could to help my mom pull through that crisis. Alhumdulillah he SOOOOO much better now!!! But that time of my life was HORRIBLE and we made it through to appreciate everything Allah swt has given us now.
The point is, you may not know what the real/full story is behind that family. If he is supporting his parents, let him. He will get dua from them and somehow his life will come together because he took care of them. It might take him a little longer to get through but he is taking care of his responsibilities too. :)
I love my Mama because she fed me, brought me up and loved me with everything she had. She would stay up late with me until 3am while I would study for exams. She stays so strong for me and always pushes me to move on with life and be happy. The way she has suported me after my Husband's death I will always be in debt to her for that! Mama would make me sleep with her everynight in her beautiful, cosy arms and tell me everything would be okay.
The love my Mama has given me has always been unconditional. It has motivated me through my entire life. My Mama's love is what has given my life purpose and meaning. Her love has filled that deep, painful void in my heart and made it complete.

Oh my god iggle piggle jee! Your words have hit my heart strings. Gosh you are so adorable. Your Mum must be such a beautiful person, MA. How did you lose your Husband? That's shocking. How old were you? Sorry of course those are such personal questions. What sweet sweet sweet words to describe a mother though. I lost my mother and father a few years ago and you have brought tears to my eyes now. Mothers are beautiful and paradise lies at their feet indeed.
my mum has hit me once in my life, i am 21 yrs old and i still remember it.
I would have been about 6-7 years old and we were all at this extremely busy mela and my younger sister who was 2-3 yrs old at the time got lost.
And my older sister was watching us, while my mum was buying us food, and my older sister got distracted and my younger sister wondered off.
My mum was came back and noticed that she wasnt there. my mum paniced and shouted at us and hit my arm. Then she was grabbed hold of my hand and didnt let go.
it was my left arm and any time my arm is sore for wtevr reason i blame my mom!!! lol
My dads never hit any of us, but he came close to hitting me cz i ran across a busy street where a bus was driving so fast bcz my grandad waved at me from the otherside!! ooooo tht was a scary day. my dads voice still freks me out the way he said in such a low voice, "don't ever do that again"
gives me the creeps!!
:D
ps: jst in case any of yous were wondering my sister was found quite quikly she was standing a wee bit away from us watching the stage show!!
