The Making Of A Nagging Mother; What You Should Know

During their upbringing, majority of girls experience too many conservative ideas both directly and indirectly. The major consequence of this is that it maintains the traditional belief that a woman is inferior, weak and fragile. It is from this background that many males have come to believe that the good woman for marriage is the submissive one.

Fortunately on the men’s part, they tend to succeed in getting that particular submissive woman, marry, have children and even make with her what would be described today as a happy family. However, there is more involved than meets the public eye. This is in the grooming of children, to which mothers normally directly contribute a higher percentage as they tend to spend more time with them than fathers.

The challenge sets in on a series of moments when a mother (normally aged between mid 20’s and late 30’s) wants something done by her child but the child wants to take chances. Afraid to lose her power to her offspring, she becomes more verbal and raises her voice in order to signal seriousness.

Such situations are what prompt many mothers to constantly switch between the sweet soft child’s friend and the commanding loud 'villain’ the wrath of whose anger a child wouldn’t wish to be a victim. Much as this happens naturally, to children especially the older ones in a family of many and the lone child, such situations coupled with overly protection and too much care tends to be perceived as invasion of their right to freedom of choice. It is this sense of resistance over time that causes conclusions that describe the mother as ‘nagging’.

Fortunately the bond which builds up over the years between mother and child is too strong to be broken by a mere thought of her as “nagging mother.”

This is why adults who look back and accuse their mothers of nagging tend to be the ones who actually give gifts to their mothers the most.
