I know that times are changing and today, having a boyfriend as a 12 or 13 year old is becoming the new norm in urban areas. Still, I find it difficult to accept it as a traditionally brought-up and convent-educated mom. I have conflicting ideas on how to handle this issue. On one hand, myContinue reading “My 14-year old Daughter is in Love. How to cope as an Indian mom?”

My daughter is 14 years old now. I moved out of my husband’s house four years ago. He was extremely verbally and financially abusive and the physical abuse was escalating.

I have three children, two sons and a daughter. The youngest one was unplanned but I didn’t have the heart to have an abortion so I kept him. I love all three of my children but my oldest son is my favorite of the three. He is the most attached to me, he has alwaysContinue reading “Favorite Child”

My daughter is 14. She is kind and helpful and caring at times. At other times, she gets extremely willful and lazy. She just doesn’t understand the communication etiquette. She is rude and talks about inappropriate things in front of adults, including her father and her uncles. She would talk about her periods, her friends’Continue reading “My Budding Teen Screams Incessantly to Get Her Way”
