Thoughts Differ

Called up my mother and chit chat with her. She told me that she had just recovered from stomachaches and diarrhea. She said she went to my sis's chalet and probably eaten some uncooked food or the culprit could be the pink guava juice. She said she was feeling rather down lately since she seemed to be getting a lot of illnesses and her health is deteriorating.

After a while, my mum asked how was my mum in law and she commented we are being very cruel to leave my mum-in-law alone in Singapore. She kept saying that old folks need company and even though they said it's alright to be staying so far away, they still miss the company of loved ones.

Frankly speaking, I think my mum belongs to the old generation who thinks life is all about family cohesiveness and togetherness. Nowadays people need space and freedom. I would not want my kids to invade my privacy when they grow up. I would want them to move out when they reach certain age. They should be responsible for themselves and learn to be in charge of their own lives.

As for my mum-in-law, she kept saying she is independent and preferred to have her own life so I think we should respect her decision and keep our distance. Why cling to her when our attentions are not welcomed?
