To Be Mother
It is true what they say. Nothing can compensate for failure in the home. But it is like the peace pipe – everyone is smoking it. But are people inhaling?
It was an uneventful night, a school night and I came home from work all fired up after a rather exhilarating and interesting meeting. I took out my daughter’s reminder book (which I have not looked at for 2 days) and started asking her whether she has done this or that, to which she replied, yes, yes and yes. I decided to look for the sake of looking and found out that she has not done one assignment. I called her and told her that I would help her with it. She looked at me, all eight years old of her, mocking me with eyes that said, “Why?”
Why the sudden interest? Where have you been all this time?
