Woes of mother

I swear, when I become a mother next time, I'll suffer.

When will a mother's heart be ever relaxed? She's forever worried from the time she carries her first child...

I never saw my mommy cry the way she did when she tried to get my sister understand why she was against her decision to go for a student exchange programme with her boyfriend.

=.=

If it were up to me, sure, go ahead if you can promise not to hanky panky.

 But tongues will always wag.

And yea, it would not be ideal for my mom to teach how to bring up your children in a Christian home if she does accede to Can's request. She's always been very vocal about not having her children go overseas with their boyfriends.

I'd forgone my chance of going for exchange programme coz I was too chicken to do it alone.
I wanted to go badly. But I was sorely sick of thinking about being all alone in a foreign land away from my family...

So here's my sister wanting the best of everything and putting my mom in such a painful position.

From a 3rd person's standpoint, I'd ask ONE question.

"What is your objective of going for this exchange programme?"

You don't need to go with your bf if you truly wanted to experience the programme.

Unless your objective was more of "I want to experience life overseas with my bf while on a student exchange programme".

Here's how I would solve this:

1. State objective of going for the programme.
2. If bf goes, you don't go. If you go, bf doesn't.
3. Afraid to go alone? Don't go.
4. Want to go? Go alone, make new friends.
5. Refer to number 1 to reinforce all points.


I'm not a 'Holy' person. Quite the opposite. I've alr proclaimed myself to be an outlaw of the church.
Not preachy, but just a thought I didn't dare ask because I'm in no position to. Nonetheless, a valid question to aid in the decision making, "Would your choice glorify God?"

Essentially meant, "What kind of example are you setting?"


'Nuff said.

Not like anything I say have any impact on the outcome.
