What women want

Well honestly speaking, we ourselves don't know what we want.. And this is probably the most talked about subject and I've heard many men say they can't really figure out what a woman wants.. And there isn't a comprehensive guide to this question.. However, here are some pointers.. The post is an attempt at humour and not intended to hurt anyone's feelings.. So, here goes... 1) We consider ourselves the USP of our families.. So we want to feel needed.. We want to be your go-to person for everything, so we can crib about how our significant other can't find his socks even if it was right in front of his eyes or how our children are so clingy that we can't even take a shower without interruption.. 2) When we are quiet and seemingly upset we want you to ask us "What's wrong"? We are definitely going to say "nothing", but that shouldn't stop you from asking us what's wrong.. We hate to be ignored, although we reserve our right

The motherhood 'challenge'

I'm reminded of a line my mother told me when I was a kid.. I was probably giving her a hard time that in exasperation she said, "When you have children of your own, then you will know".. Today those words are ringing in my ears as I deal with my little one (LO) and her endless questions and comments/views.. Well, it's not as bad as I've made it sound like.. My LO is a sweet child.. Actually, there is only one sweet child in the world and every mother has her/him.. So while she's a sweet kid and as innocent as kids are at that age there are times when I want to hide somewhere to avoid her questions.. At other times I'm mortified after listening to her opinions.. And there are also times I just want to say something sarcastic.. But I've learned that she's way too smart for that.. And I'll get back those same lines that I dish out to her at a later point of time.. So I resist the urge to say anything that will come back to bite me later on..
