“What are you having for breakfast?”
“So, you have everything for lunch and snacking during the day? Sure?!”
“What shall I get you today? What do you feel like eating?”
“Don’t take too many pictures. Okay?”
“What did you do during the day? You weren’t bored?”
“You shouldn’t be eating cheesecake! But it is okay, you are on holiday. Don’t go back home and continue eating sweet things!”
“Who is your this friend of yours who is coming to visit you?”
“Want a smoothie?”
“Which fruits do you want? Take whichever you like.”
“Are you walking? Hmm, no?!”
“You are out of breath climbing this incline?! You are so out of shape! You should start exercising!”
“Any memento you want to buy?”
“Ohh you are not feeling well? Are you taking your medicines regularly?”
“Enough of clicking now.”
“When you go back to India you are going to start walking and report to me every day.”
“Still at the computer? You have to get enough sleep you know!”
“Take whatever you want and stop worrying about how much it costs! I will tell you if it’s too costly.”
“You are going to open a google document when you get back and I am going to check on your progress (walk)!”
“How old are you? Fifty-four? That is no age for not being fit!”
I am secretly laughing at this role-reversal. 😉

This is so much fun and breaks the monotony of life:)
Yeah, I am having fun 🙂
And I am very sure you are secretly enjoying it too 😛
You bet, Ruch!
Who is the person babying you? And you certainly don’t look 54!! 😀
My first born 😀 I have been spending the month with him 🙂
And thank you 😀
Ah, that must feel wonderful 🙂
Indeed! 🙂
Aunty, are you in CA ? We should catch up !
Anu, WHERE are you?!
I knew it without reading the comments that this is your kid talking…i want my mom to read this so that she comes to know im nt the only kid who pesters her mom to take care of her own self..
Ahem, another one like him, eh? 😉
I agree totally! My mum’s visiting and we seem to have the same conversations! 🙂
Birds of a feather, eh? Welcome to Shail’s Nest Kinmin 🙂
Yes, the life comes to a full circle! Though I understood all the other concerns what’s with not taking too many pictures. Interesting read as usual.
God knows 😛 Lol. Thanks Swati 🙂
🙂
Does this happen more to mothers, less to fathers? If so, why so? If not, why not?
That is an interesting question. I never thought of it, especially since in my home,I was the one more involved with the upbringing of children, disciplining them, making decisions et al. 🙂
Wait till you are sixty four, like I am.
It will get worse!
Last year my son joined us at my daughter’s place at California for a couple of weeks.
The “babying the dad” doubled.
From left, and right. Stereo effect.
And guess who was egging them both on from behind and occasionally pitching in.
Yes you guessed right , my own L&M.

Haha. I was seeing what you described in my mind’s eye! :D.
It seems above all, you take too much of pictures and walk too little 😛
Haha. True, that 😛
Such an endearing post this 🙂
Thanks Sri 😀
You sound understandably smug. 😀
Haha,Dagny. I am amused, rather. 😉
That was such an insanely sweet post….:) Lucky you, I well and truly hope that I am “babyed” when I am that age 😀
May your wish be granted! 😀
You are lucky, my laptop charger gets confiscated and so does my phone 😦
Uh-ho! That’s scary! :O :))))
hahahahaha! Your kid is too cute 🙂
😛 😀
“When you go back to India you are going to start walking and report to me every day.” sounds really wicked…
Lol, I agree. What a thing to do to your Mom 😛 😉 😀
Nice Post…In a couple of years i expect this from my kids too…:)
All prepared, Sunil? 😀
Kids, I tell you……………….get it from their darn parents …..:P
Whoa! You got it wrong ji. He’s got this totally non-fussy Mom who minds her own business. OMG, I sound so wonderful 😛 😉 :)))))
Talk about life coming full circle 🙂 Am sure you are basking in this kind of attention. Your son is such a nice parent 😉
No doubt he is. But let me hasten to add he takes after his Dad in this matter, not Mom. 😉
No wonder Mom smiles whenever I start giving her lecture on keeping fit and avoiding sweets. Cute one! You are indeed blessed. 🙂
Haha. You too, Rekha? 😛 😀
ha ha 😀 your elder one is babying you 🙂
Indeed, he is 😉
Aha! My chotu sa beta when asks u r ok na and my heart goes all mushy mushy then this to is nirvana! Shows u have given him good values.
I guess it is each one’s nature. 😀
Awww that is so very sweet. My heart melted into a huge mush reading all that 🙂
😀 😀
Sounds like great fun! I can totally relate to this – the err, role reversal is a common phenomenon when I am out walking with my Grandpa.
Aha! So Grandpa is your victim! 😛
Ah, these days kids come with a set of parenting skills designed to blossom once they’re out of the nest, and maybe at a job themselves.
Was nice to read of how you get it too. These days it seems to be the story of my life… especially the one about STILL being at the computer, and how I need to go to bed, so that I can get up early 😛 😛 😛
Really endearing, this one!
Looks like we are in the same boat, Usha 😀 😀 😛
