Infatuation, Puppy Love, Dating......

Today while driving my girl home from school, I was Bombarded with a question .."Mi, how did u go through teenage life?" "Me? almost same like u...almost only...I walked to school those days, now u sit in the car, I do housework when I reached home, now u just do your own stuff in your room..." (almost same hor?)

Then she retaliated, "haiyah..i didnt mean this...what i want to know is, have u "paktor" before?" OUCH...paktor? Paktor means DATING....OH Gosh....

My teenage girl asking me whether I dated before or not during my teens..... Now..that was a difficult question to answer at that spur of the moment.

If I say "yes" ....then I am asking for trouble or not? She Might follow mama's footsteps and say "mum, if u can, why can't i?" sort of thing.....

If I say "no", then we will not have anything to talk about....she will surely keep quiet, right?

So I replied YES, I have.... BUT, *a quick but*, that was infatuation, puppylove, Ah Girl...
not real love one.....not lasting one.....WHY? (now it is my turn to ask)

Anyway, to cut short over here, I am glad I did tell her about my experiences and she shared with me about her situation. As a mum, I guess we need to be "open" about this topic but inwardly, I am really "DEAD WORRIED".....

The woes of a MuM..... now I know how my own mum felt when I was a teenager.... haiyoh....

  1. Haha... you are worried about your girl dating huh?

    That was how my mother worried about me also. She always told me not to get a girlfriend.

    But now, she keeps asking me, "Got girlfriend or not ah? If got, tell me lah, and bring her back home, I want to see!"

    And I keep telling her, "Mummy, I got no time for girlfriend now."

  8. It's normal you get worry. But at least your girl want to talk to you on this subject. Me and my mom can talk about anything. We are like friends. But relationship is the only one thing, I did not talk much to her. Hehehe...

    I remembered I am very afraid to talk to my mom about all these "pak toh" topic.

  15. haha.. teenage dating..
    well, since your daughter is willing to voice out to you, i guess she'll be fine.. =)

    usually "troublemakers" arent willing to share with their parents..
