But I know that she still worries. And I cannot do anything about it.
Hate to break it to you, but the worry may not have been from the years of conditioning, it might have been there all along. Parents always worry about their kids no matter how big they get.
Sounds like she just needs to chill and realise that she did a good job if you're all happy and successful :)
She probably knows when you're feeling down and worries about you then, and honestly I would be the same with my kids
And this is something many people neglect, simply because, they can
Not necessarily. Quite often (if you're like me x_x) it just slips your mind, which is extremely easy to do when you're organising around a number of other people. Depending where you are, societal conditioning sometimes means that if you're in a primary caregiver role and you have the audacity to even vaguely consider that you'd like a break, you're viewed as selfish and lazy by the people who desperately need you to do a thing for them.
I wish I had not seen this happen so I could say I was exaggerating as usual
sometimes I skip meals and overthink and worry instead of working around a plan or taking a much necessary break
Mood...except I can't plan my way out of a paper bag and there is constantly a lot that needs to be done right this second XD
Don't forget sleep in your list of helpful advice to people, that is extremely important. I've been skimping on it again because I don't have time, but it is really important, don't be like me x_x
4th post this week, awesome, you're on a roll :D Keep up a managable pace and don't burn out :)
I just want my mother to take some time and relax and be happy. She deserves a break from her hectic monotonous life. And no matter how all three of us turned out I think not only did she the best she could but she overdid it I guess. I think I should call her and tell her how much she means to us. And knowing her the first thing she will ask is 'Tum theek to ho naa beta?' (You alright my son?)...
I'll be finding this out soon by myself. :D.
I wanted to share this later but I cannot contain it anymore.
This is all from the constant support that I am getting from you all. <3
Love you guys.

If she isn't feeling trapped by the hectic monotonous life she may actually like things like that (as strange as it sounds some people do). Maybe you can take her for a holiday or if you can't do that maybe convince her to renovate a room or something, apparently change is as good as a holiday?
I am screaming not so silently. J had to ask me three times what I said (it was "ONEOFMYFRIENDSISGONNAHAVEABABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY").
Shhhhhhh.....

Am excited and nervous planning on going home in a week or two to say hi to my lovely wife..
