Dear mom,
Like every normal girl, I was excited about
marriage right from my childhood days. I never
thought beyond the time that I would spend
happily with my prince charming. But today when
I am married, I realize that marriage is not all
roses. It’s not just about being with your
beloved and having a gala time. There is so
much more to it.
It comes with its own share of responsibilities,
duties, sacrifices and compromises. I can’t wake
up anytime I want to. I am expected to be up
and ready before everyone else in the family. I
can’t laze around in my pyjamas throughout the
day.
I am expected to be presentable every time. I
can’t just go out anytime I want to. I am
expected to be sensitive to the needs of the
family. I just can’t hit the bed anytime I want to.
I am expected to be active and around the
family. I can’t expect to be treated like a
princess but am supposed to take care of
everyone else in the family. And then I think to
myself, ‘why did I get married at all?’
I was happier with you, mom. Sometimes I think
of coming back to you and getting pampered
again. I want to come home to my favorite food
cooked by you every evening after a nice outing
with friends. I want to sleep on your laps like I
have no worry in this world.
But then I suddenly realize, had you not got
married and made such sacrifices in your life, I
wouldn’t have had so many wonderful memories
to hang on to. And suddenly, the purpose of all
this becomes clear- to return the same comfort,
peace and happiness to my new family that I got
from you. And I am sure that as time would pass,
I would start loving this life equally as you do.
Thank you mom for all the sacrifices and
compromises you made. They give me the
strength to do the same.

Not surprised. Heard people have started marrying objects now.

Sometimes I think of coming back to you and getting pampered again. I want to come home to my favorite food cooked by you every evening after a nice outing with friends. I want to sleep on your laps like I have no worry in this world.

What does it mean for a lady to be treated like a princess

I have no idea.

Sounds as strange to me as the notion of sitting my grown behind on parents laps.

My dear, sometimes you don't even know but when your Prince Charming come calling, you will understand.
