Most succinctly put. And no it’s not only the mom, its the free time for dad too. I *envy* you, as I have many more years to go.

Beautiful piece Smita. Made me sit up and think what my mother would have go through when we siblings finished school and stepped out of the city for further education. Thank you. Its a beauty.

Yes u said it right..sometimes i do fear of freedom. My son is 6yrs old. I miss his toddler age. He says ” I love u mamma” every now and then or responds whenever I say it to him. But he becomes conscious when someone is around. He never says those in front of anyone even though they are our close relatives. He comes to me and whispers it so that no one hears that. I really want to enjoy all the cutest things he does till I get freedom.

Nice Article Smita

WOW Smita mam .. that piece of writing touched my heart .. as a flimsy teenager suddenly turned adult, I think my Mom would voice the same things.. Kudos to all the mothers who work so hard for their kids, but never complain! We seem to treat it like a part of being there and growing up and look at you as if it’s your responsibility. But I know someday we would be in your shoes and maybe we’d do all that you do.. Till then congrats on being a great mother.

You deserve the free time 🙂

Smita,

My son is just 3 and i already miss his toddler days, when he wanted me to hold him while walking, feed him, play with him… although i had wanted to be hands free so i can have my me time but still miss those things and as i said he is just 3… just loved your article…
