To fry the chicken on birthday party days

If people go through labour, they have so much much respect for the mums. It does not matter if your mother is resident in New York or one interior village in Africa.Every mum goes through the same process of childbirth, no epidural medication can stop delivery pain. I had my kids in the good hospitals ,but the process remains the same. Why am I writing this? By this time in 2022, I was travelling back from work and I saw an elderly mum crying by the road side in London. I stopped and asked her -what is the matter?. She told me that her kids told her that she is useless and that they want her to leave and join the people living in the cold winter street-Their own mother.I was actually shaking.She told me how hard she worked to raise them.I encouraged her not to lose hope that  she  will be  fine.We  spoke to length  as  to the  reason why  she  needed to  stand  strong.I  also  shared with her  my own  nasty  experiences of being thrown away  from  kids for no reason  .Of course mother didnot buy them a house or a car or she is not set to leave ten million pounds  in her will for them, that is their thinking as they were not taking themselves that  they  can throw out their own mum in the cold winter.It is good to teach people to set the right priorities, that these assets are not going  to be carried  away .We need to have some human touch to our lifestyles and that could be her mistake in not raising this awareness to the children as infants. And I actually wanted to ask her if she  has been nice  to  their dad as  kids carry  grudges  they had  from childhood  unless they  are well their priorities  right. I didnot ask the questions because it will be embarrassing and hurtful to her   so  we hugged  and  said  good bye  to each other hoping that  she  will  be  sorted  .Mothers are not only for  Christmas.To come over and cook the Turkey for everyone every Christmas. Mums are not  Christmas Turkey Mums.
