What is it about Mothers and the things they say to their children coming true, even though the things they say are not their wishes? For example,
Mother : Rayyan, don't run or you will fall!
Child : *Gedebuk* (sound effect for falling) :p
or,
Mother : Rayyan, put down the cup or you will spill the water!
Child : *Splash* (another sound effect) :p
I admit, I don't visit my parents often and Mom is not quite happy that I kind of neglect them. I mean, I have my own family to manage and sometimes they are two hands too full. That is why whenever I visit them, I will try to spend the whole day, or the most, half a day if I reach in the mid-afternoon, at their place. But still, I believe Mom feels that that isn't enough.
Mom always tells me, "Fine, you have children of your own. We'll wait and see."
I kind of believe that my time has come. My girl, Diana, used to run to the door excitedly whenever I came back from somewhere to greet me. But, recently, I noticed that she kind of ignore me. She will continue with whatever things she's doing as if I've been at home the whole time. Isn't that sad? It's like a cycle. There's a saying, 'you treat others how you want to be treated', and in my case, it is 'you get the treatment for how you've treat others'.
I already see the alikeness between me and my girl. It's kinda scary. I imagine my old age and I will feel exactly how Mom is feeling. I'm not so sure about my boy, though, since he's too young. But I feel that two isn't enough. Maybe I should have another one. Heh. Then, again, what if all of my children are like me? Hmmm...

Lynn, relax.
I'm a strong believer of 'what goes around comes around' but in your case... what can I say... Old people are kina hard to please. I'm sure your mum does understand but she simply wants more. Truth be told, as they grow older they crave for our attention. Sigh.
Err, woman, you have the itch already? Hehe.. try lah.. Me still trying for my 4th.. haiz...
