She was a manager of a prestigious company,
After marriage she gave up her well paid job to take care of her three children,
Everyone was happy with their simple life,
Except the older son,
He always complained as his extravagant wants were not met,
One day he started as usual,
ΔΉook at yourself mum,
Who sits at home doing nothing,
All my friends mums are CEOs of big companies,
They come to college in their own cars,
They wear branded clothes and shoes,
Blah, blah, blah, on and on,
What have you to give us mum,
She quietly replied,
I gave up my job,
To give you my time, presence and love  ,
Not leave you with nannies and maids.
