A Paranoid Mother...

Called Andy for the second time today... His first day in college...

"Hi, what r u doing now? How was the class? What did u eat during lunch time? Expensive? What dishes did u take? Can sleep or not last night? What was for dinner? Why are u taking bread now? Enough meh? Why never go down to the cafe? Why lazy wo? Don't be so stingy with the money....Must eat enough, otherwise easily can get sick....

Huh? Stuffy nose now? Why? Oh, too much dust? Then take some Vit C and REMEMBER to drink more fluids.... bla bla...bla..........."

Oh gosh, thinking back..... I do sound like a paranoid mum... Naggy mum too?? Yeah, I suppose so... It looks and sounds like that way too....

What to do.... first time my 18 year old son is living out on his own.... 160km away from home...
Hope he is not homesick....
Okay, I will call him ONE MORE TIME LATER....

I am not worried....... i m not...........
i aren't............
i isn't...............

  7. haha ... sometimes good to let him 'polished' up a bit so that he can become a 'diamond'. I was also an introvert when I left home for college and been thru so many hardships out there but that makes me more independent.

  9. Hi Reanaclaire, ha ha, you miss your boy, huh?
    Back in the early 60's I was in England, too far, too expensive, but I heard my mom spent money on jossticks, ha ha.

    Apat from praying I do well in studies, she more worried I get involved with Orang Puteh girls, ha ha.
    Your boy will be fine, he'll learn to be on his own, discover what its like away from a naggy mom, ha ha.
    Best regards, Lee.

  14. Don't worry, Auntie, Andy will sure be able to manage his new environment. He's still young and will sure be able to make new friends there.

    After a few weeks you won't be worried about him anymore. Haha...

  27. hehehe, ur post is very funny la... i mean the way u wrote it =D

    dun worry, he'll survive, u've brought him up well =D
    i know i'm not a mother, so no motherly experience, but i'm 'the child' and i survived without much guidance from my parents =)

    As long as we've Jesus, we can do anything. The power of a prayerful mom is a wonderful thing =)
