Topic: A mother’s love

Intro: My mother hates me.

When she asked me to do the laundry when I was just about to start watching my
favourite show, when she nagged at me to do my homework just when I wanted to go
online gaming…my mother must hate me. Yet, in her nagging, in her scolding, in her
glaring and staring at me, I know that she loves me too.

End:
In the many ways when I did not understand my mother’s actions, in the many
ways in which I thought she hates me – she was actually trying her best to make me a
better person. With all due respects, my mother, in her outward ‘hatred’, actually loves
me. That is the pricelessness of a mother’s love.
