A mother is born the moment her kid is born. She never existed before that, where she was just a woman. Daughters are special for any mother as she sees herself growing within this tiny starlet. She begins building dreams for her daughter the moment she is born. To care, to pamper, get an education, find a career etc. And to make her world better than hers.Is there a difference among mothers across borders? Mothers of different ethnicity?
India is a mystical & timeless land, known for its unique culture. When it comes to mothers here, especially if you are in danger or unhappy, its believed that mother comes to rescue in the form of God. She is so protective & supportive that she will forgo her world to bring happiness in her child.
Her over protective attitude may affect the daughters especially. Mother can be suspicious about every move of her teenage daughter. Her caring nature could turn into paranoid behavior and mothers can be shadowing their pretty daughters. With no notice, she could turn out at her daughter's college or work place with an eagle's eye. She fears her innocent floret shouldn't get into bad company or end up choosing less worthy life partner.
What do we see in countries away from eastern world? The mothers here seem to be a bit different. I was talking to one of my African neighbors here in Seychelles. I asked her if she was free the following weekend and she refused right away. She said "My younger daughter is going on first date .. So I am busy with it & preparing a dress for her". This mother is indulging herself in searching a boy friend for her growing teenage daughter. She wants to see her daughter experience her first date like any other teenager. She also has an elder daughter who is unmarried and staying with boy friend.
Its in sharp contrast to see an eastern (Indian) mother spying on her daughter fearing the concept of dating and a western mother preparing her daughter for a dating treat.
There is no much difference between these two mothers where their motto is one to see smile & joy on their child's face.
The culture & traditions may differ. But sacred love of mother is splendidly maintained .
Every mother tries like this to lend a helping tool for her teenager to build an esteemed life.
So East or West.... Mom's the Best!!
