At first she couldn’t sleep because you wouldn’t. Then she couldn’t sleep because of that nagging cough or because the fever wouldn’t come down. Then she couldn’t sleep because something had upset you. Then she couldn’t sleep because you had to go away to hostel. What she hasn’t told you is, one day she is going to get a lot of satisfaction when your kid does to you what you did to her!
When you came to her with the problem you had with a classmate, she didn’t know what advice to give you. When you asked her to solve a difficult math problem, she didn’t tell you she had no clue because she hated math too. The fact is she didn’t have all the answers, but she made sure that you always (mistakenly) believed that mummy knows everything – a fiction she worked hard to maintain!
