This is a universal truth that moms are an eternally sacrificing lot. We all know that the moms are the angels in disguise who will not sleep a wink till you get well, or finished studying at night or you get drift. We also know the moms who sacrifice their careers to be with their kids, like to be stay at home.
It will be surprising to know that mothers become so much concerned about their kids that they will stay at school, until the school will get over. These days, outside the gate of the schools you will find hordes of anxious looking women standing. Psychologists say, it’s understandable when the children are in play way, but today we know about the doting moms who wait it out even when their kids are in std XI. All this really stems from drawing one’s entire source of sustenance from just one focal point, one’s offspring.
The reason might be that these days schools are far away from homes, and kids can’t be trusted to get home safely. But there’s also another powerful relationship at work, the one between these moms. Because it’s natural that these women, in the same age group and with similar priorities in form very close friendships with each other, especially when they meet on daily basis. We know about the moms whose friendship grows so strong even after their kids have grown up and are married also. Because these moms say that they come a long way, having faced the same difficulties in upbringing of their child, and stood y each other through thick and thin.
How they share the knowledge? This is the most powerful benefit of friendship of these moms, that they share the knowledge from their child’s health, information of other activities of the child, nutrition, to how to make them get mind blowing grades, from how to give the wicked ma-in-law a taste of her own medicine, to which washing powder removes stains from clothes best, which will be the best investment plan for kids, to how to get love from your husbands. Recipes of favorite foods, among kids also shared among these doting mothers.
Mommy bonding provides these women some much needed personal space. Of course, it’s also provided scope for a lot of businesses to thrive. And thanks to these added contacts, these housewives are reaping a neat profit too. Seeing the feasibility of ample profits, lots of these moms have started side businesses in cosmetics, insurance polices, time life books and CD and the like. They use the outside school platform to sell their wares and succeed quite well because all these products address and interest women. And typically women have a herd mentality when it comes to buying.
The only time that bonding faces rough weather is at exam time, and then the concentration is solely on the child. Infact, as soon as the children come out of the exam hall, the moms frenetically start enquiring about the answers their wards have written to each question. Stay at school moms are sometimes become funny too when they even box their children’s ears if they confess to making any silly mistakes. Right there, outside the school premises.
As children grow up, they might hate this over protectiveness, but most learn to grudgingly accept the constant presence of their mothers in their academic lives.
