I’m very sure that you’ve thought about this a whole lot and you believe in yourself that you can survive come what may. Thus the decision to leave your profession. You’re such a strong lady, Ida.<br /><br />It’s only natural for a mother to have this fear of the uncertainties for her children and in your case the What-Ifs. Prove it to her that you walk the talk. I do hope she’ll accept the fact that her baby girl can speak for herself and can make big decisions like this, eventually.<br /><br />Good Luck dear in your new ventures. May all the good things come your way :)Dalam Dakapan Ibuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10025808848307180040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4992542792635390152.post-29930118119594110752009-04-22T10:14:00.000+08:002009-04-22T10:14:00.000+08:00Dear Kak Yani,

Indeed, they worry because they love...but I wonder if it is possible to love without worrying or perhaps without having prejudice?<br /><br />I used to fret about life. I grumbled and was constantly visualising the negativity of life. Then I got tired of it. I felt stupid and defeated by my own doings. Thus, I started to have another perspective about life, how it is wonderful if only we could learn to love and trust ourselves..<br /><br />U hang on there, Puteri and I will do likewise. Just hope we would have faith in our children later when they decide to leave the nest.<br /><br />Have a great week.Ida Hariati Hashimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14654118767322335031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4992542792635390152.post-24463612080905725902009-04-21T19:54:00.000+08:002009-04-21T19:54:00.000+08:00Ida,

But I just have to respond to this.<br />What I can tell you is, althougth I'm married and a mother of 5, my mom still believes I'm her little girl. I will never live up to her expectation. She's a great mom and I'll always be her useless daughter. She thinks I'm not a good mother to my children, not a good wife to my hubby,I give face (ada such word ke?) to my maid. Since I'm still living under the same roof with her, I'm used to her bickering but it hurts everytime definitely but there's just no point arguing, we'll just never win. Nonetheless, I love her to bits nothing beats a mom's love.<br />She's worried and she's concerned because she loves us too much. It's better to have a mom that cares than a mom that doesn't give a hoot about the well-being of her children.Puteri's territoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03664316395075670555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4992542792635390152.post-17608492955309508632009-04-21T17:18:00.000+08:002009-04-21T17:18:00.000+08:00Dear Miss Skyjuice,

Those words rang a bell, for that was how I felt. Being the eldest, I've always had to sacrifice for my younger siblings since young. Enough is enough. I believe I'm still an obedient child, but am no longer a conforming one. I've decided to lead my life the way I want to and put my own happiness above anyone else's.<br /><br />All the best! *hugs*SkyJuicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18032097471777142861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4992542792635390152.post-14213720293034239522009-04-21T12:41:00.000+08:002009-04-21T12:41:00.000+08:00Dear Edelweiss,
