The bond between a mother and her son is inexpressible. Starting from her womb she falls unconditionally in love with him. It is difficult to explain in words the depth of this precious bonding. And deep down inside, every mother thinks that one day she has to share her son with another woman.
Here are the thoughts that every mother has in her mind when her son is all set to get married.
My little boy has grown up
Time has flown by since my child held my finger and learnt to walk, and now he is all set to start a new phase of life with a new woman.
I have to share my son
I hope he will still give me importance even after starting a new life.
I will love my daughter-in-law as my own child
Most importantly the girl is leaving her family behind to come and start a new one with us.
I hope she shows the same respect towards our family
In this age, you never know how well a girl might adjust with a new unfamiliar family set up. I truly hope she respects our values and us.
I hope she will bind us together
I have been doing this all my life up until now and will continue to do my bit, but I hope that she is able to do the same.
Will give privacy
As they are about to start a new life, my constant interference might not allow them to form a bond that they ought to.
I will never make my son choose
There will be fights and I have to understand the fact that it will take some time for us to form a bond. I will never ask my son to choose between the two of us.
I hope they will care for us and will include us in their plans
I do not expect it all the time but at least every once in a while, they should make plans with us as well. This will also help us bond as a family.
You will remain the most important person in our lives
As life changes, so do relationships and the degree of priorities in our lives. But, you will always be the center of our universe.
We will have cute little grandchildren to play with
