Strict Environment

Me {tumultuous} : Many people thought that my post was about Kiddo. What unsettles me is that... That people think that she is safe because she is in a strict environment. Pft!!

Dakshayini {with all the calmness she has}: Yes! Look at you!! Grew up in a strict environment. Yet you managed to do all you wanted to do!! 

Well... At least she helped me nail what was bugging me. Being strict or isolation (from anything of child's interest) is not going to guarantee that the child is actually going to do things your way. 

When your little girl is no longer a girl

Though we celebrate our children's birthday, we seldom realise how fast they are growing. Even when you have those fancy numbered candles on their bday cakes, how many of us understand that our children are growing up. One of those rare instances we realise that they are growing is when they argue with us. 

So one fine morning she comes to you and say, 'Amma... I am having sex.' And you wonder whether sex is a new flavour of chips by Kurkure! 

Recently I was a witness to such a situation. I have been going through a myriad of emotion since then.... 

I have been a 15yr old once 

I am still a rebel 

I am a parent 

I too have a daughter who would soon turn 15 

Should I be a snitch? 

As I was battling these emotions, Dakshayini puts her hand around me & whispers into my ears..... My dear... If anyone, not just your own child, tells you that he/she is sexually active, you should be asking these questions.... 

1. Do you know how to protect yourself?
2. Are you using protection?
3. Do you want my help in procuring condoms? 
4. Where & how are you buying condoms? 

PS. 

Bro... Thanks for inspiring me to write again... 🙂

Introducing Dakshayini

Introducing Dakshayini is going to be difficult for me. But I am confident that you will see traces of yourself in her. I have my BigB to thank for introducing her to me. I trust she will take you on a whirlwind journey..... 🙂

Duh?

He {About an incident in 2009}: Loved when you took the curves in gear. You were the only Daredevil I knew from the ladies clan who did that.
Me : Dainx!

But then.... What the heck is taking curves in gear????

Sweet Natured Aussies

She {a statement to self than a question}: Australians are such sweet-natured people?
Me {Knowing where this comes from}: How many Australians do you know?
She {Sheepish}: Simon Baker & Chris Hemsworth

That girl is smitten I say!!!

Poopy

Kiddo : Amma, will you be able to keep Poopy with you? 

Me {shell shocked}: ????

Kiddo {answering my shocked look}: The bed is not big enough for the two us. Every night, either Poopy or I fall off the bed at night. 

Me {Pure evil look coz I had to put up with it for 12yrs}: And what do you do when that happens? 

Kiddo {as innocent & honest as she could be}: If I fall down, I just continue sleeping there. Only when it gets too cold in the morning do I get up & slip into the blanket. If Poopy falls down, I pick up immediately. 

I resign!!!! Sigh! 

See through the Packaging....

He : Do you want porn? To keep you engaged?

I guess, any one outside the system would have seen it differently. But.... I could only see his unadulterated care for me.

He knows what kind of a person I am. He understands that I have reached my threshold. He understands my next stop is frenzy. He wants me to hang in there. And he has no clue how or what will make me. And this is what he came up with.

I see it... You know it... Bhadd mein jaye rest of the world
Thank you... :-)
