I had planned to leave my son at his granny's place during this Corona
Vacation. I had made some preparatory work to drill his mind, to stay without
the parents, as this is the first time, he is gonna experience it. Either one
of us were there for all these six years. Even after the extensive mental
preparation, he was not ok to stay alone with grandparents and his cousins. So,
I decided not to force him.
The day when we started from our hometown, seems there was a sudden
flash on his mind and he backed to stay back at granny’s place. This was a
shock for me without any drill activity to MY MIND. I just couldn’t take the
fact that this little boy was not sitting on my lap and irritating me
throughout the travel. For the next 1 hour, my thoughts were around him. Will
he manage without us, what if he cries, what if he longs for us and so on.. The
typical and conservative motherly feel..
But then, I had to overcome this strange feel. Anyways, this is what I
had planned for.. and what now??? I
started looking at the better side of this social distancing with son. The
selftime – All for myself.. I can do my work without any disturbance, quality partner
time, dependency free days and so on..
My Realization: I have to grow up a lot before saying something to my
child.
