Your major fights with your husband do not necessarily end up in bed.

You have become more tolerant towards the mistakes of your children

You understand that headaches & back pains are a commanding part of your life & you just don’t rush to your doctor at the first opportune moment!

You start eating your meals at a time much closer to the world acknowledged ‘eating timings’, because you need to take your medicines.

You don’t have to rush to your home to cook for your children, or to take them to their various classes after school. Your children are finally grown up and you feel a wee bit relaxed at work.

Then again, you are awake even after your late evening TV sessions, mid-night snack sessions, watching your husband sleeping/snoring sessions, because you haven’t heard the front door opens to let your late night partying/socializing/group studying/part-time working children in! Your children are finally grown up enough for you to loose your sleep at nights now!

You feel more at ease & actually are happy in sitting at home rather than madly rushing out with or without your family for socializing, theatres, restaurants etc.

Reading a book in the kitchen, reading a book half-lying on your bed or sitting next to the burst ling fire gives you more satisfaction than meeting people. Well, what’s there to talk about all the time in anyway?

You are more close to your mother now than you had ever been in your life before. You have become more tolerant towards your mother-in-law. You can actually understand her much better now!

You not only have to search for your own spectacles, but also for your husband’s, whenever the specs get misplaced, which has become fairly routine now!

You feel at peace with God after decades of fighting with Him.

You look at every good looking & well educated boy or girl as the future part of your family. You introduce your children enthusiastically to them, just in case they fall in love….there are stars in your eyes, but this time the stars are for your children!

Whenever you proudly proclaim to your friends, neighbors and relatives about the various achievements of your children, you are politely smiled at because this must be the twenty first time you are repeating the same thing to the same set of people, and you don’t even realize that! (This aspect of a woman shall never ever change, however matured she may become!)

Your children, who could never stop talking to you have become more polite (hi mom, bye mom) & distant now. They are more engrossed in their world & had cut off your apron strings firmly & fairly close to the edges. Fortunately, you understand them much better than your mother had ever understood you, when you were at their age!

You have developed interests in health, salads, yoga, savings & internet. You browse the net to learn more new things in life & to connect with new people. You don’t visit the darker sites of the internet world (what’s the heck, Stupid people!)

You have become quiet comfortable with the computer now and you are not afraid of it anymore: rather you enjoy visiting the social networking site(s) and eagerly participate in the marathon exchange of views & comments.

You are more bothered about the home loan, balance against your credit cards, your husband’s health & your children’s future now than any other thing in this world!

You love your husband & understands his value much more now because he is the only one who listens to you still, whenever you elect to speak!
