Well to be honest... One of the reasons I like Koki so much is she kinda reminds me of my own mum lol.
I am an adult, responsible job, married, living in the city. However I work away from home and after commuting for many years I moved back home during the week. It killed two birds cos I avoided the stress of daily travel and my mum wasn't living alone as my younger brother had just got married and moved out.
A day for me would have the following instructions from my mum...
Are you wearing that shirt? Don't forget to carry your jacket, it may rain later on.
Do you have still have snack bars at work in case you feel hungry? I'm just asking because I didn't see any on Monday morning.
Did you put your laptop in the car?
Don't forget you're going home today so remember to put you luggage in the car.
Did you hang your towel out?
Don't forget to put the towel on the floor when you are showering
otherwise the bath-mat will get wet.
I am making abc for lunch. Do you want me to make anything else?
Why did you come home so late for lunch? You must be hungry. Don't they know at work what your lunch-time is?
Remember you have to take me to mandir tonight so please park your car outside. Are you going to gym?
Don't forget to buy milk and bread. Send your messenger from work.
This is just a small sample of what I go through on a daily basis. But hey she's my mum and she does it cos she cares. And I love her to bits. Sometimes it drives me crazy... but I am grateful for every day that she is still around... Most times I find it easy enough to do what she asks. The times when I don't I tell her why I am doing it my way. She does not always agree but she eventually accepts it. And then there are the times when I don't listen and realise that she was right after all lol.
Growing up my sister always said she would never be like our mum when she had kids. Well guess what. She turned out exactly the same. Now I remind her when she says her kids something that she used to swear she would never say lol.
Mums... the most beautiful people in the world!!! ❤️ To them we will always be kids!
And a bit more info on me then what you may have expected 🤣
