Who mumma love the most?
#WritcoStorandyPrompt117
If you could change one thing about your life, what would it be? Write a story on it.
I am a mother of four children. All of my four children are very dear to me. They never see it but I never made a difference among them. My little daughter always thinks that she is not the dearest one and Mumma loves other children more, this girl has now turned 18 but still have the same opinion about her mother. What am I supposed to do when my children behave like this?
She is a studious girl and never let her father bow his head down in shame and always remains his dearest kid from her childhood and we all know the norms of a family when one child is the favourite of one parent, s/he can't be the favourite of another parent. But that's not the truth. I carried all my four kids in my womb for nine months and fed them with my milk no matter how weak I have become pampering them.
Two days ago, I have to my brother's place to attend a function so I asked her in the morning if she want to eat or not and as she was studying she refused to take the meal and said: "will eat later". I have to get ready to catch the bus to Gurgaon since I am travelling alone and the bus doesn't have timing in India I have to leave early. I took bath, draped my saree, packed my bags, things I have to carry, fruits. All ready. Just a little touch-up on my face would be needed, for that, I have called my elder daughter who runs her parlour in the main market of our town. Then I heard the footstep of my little girl and she said: " ab dedo khana". I was taken aback, I gave an instant reply :"ab nahi bna Rhi Mai khud bna lena kuch". She made a face and left to take a bath.
Two minutes later my elder daughter arrived, she has gone to parlour without even taking a glass of milk and Indian mothers are connected with milk and their kid, she must be hungry, I thought, so I asked :"tumko kuch khana nahi hota". She answered with a question:" kya bnaya hai". And I said :" rajma ki sabji rkhi hai kahe toh roti bna du ya bread khale". This all reminded me of my little girl so I asked her:" Naha lii" and she said yes. Then I asked her to come out of the bathroom fast and take food. I prepared milai bread for her which she eat peacefully but deep inside I know she is hurt that I rejected her. She count me everytime I hurt her and make me realize that she is different from my other children and the least loved one. My kid, I am even more hurt when you say or even think scenarios like this.
In fact if I could change one thing in my life I would like to change your perspective. There are other things in my life that troubles me but the way a daughter is suspicious of her mother is not tolerable for me.
