Then Vs. Now: 7 Things Moms Used To Say To Us Back In The Day And How It Has Changed

Mothers you cannot live with them; you cannot live without them! They are like that best friend who always wants to see you at your best. They will nag you, push you to achieve great things and even scold you at times, but its only because they want the best for you. But moms have changed since the earlier days, dont you think? Back in the day, a mothers primary concern would be for their daughters to find suitable husbands, but things are different now. They understand that there is more to life than getting married and becoming somebodys wife, and they support us to chase our dreams. Moms have become more open with their daughters compared to earlier days. So weve curated a list of 7 common things moms used to say versus what they say now:

1. Boy Trouble

Before: Who was that boy you were talking to in the supermarket? Your neighbor aunty will say something.

Now: Why cant you go on dates with boys? How will you find someone you would unless you take a chance?

Your mom used to forbid you from being friends with boys, and now she gets more excited for your first date than you will ever be. Calm down, mother!

2. Friend Circle

Before: Stop being friends with her; she always gets into trouble. Why cant you be friends with the one who ranks first in class?

Now: Its important to have friends from all walks of life. It helps you widen your perspective and become a well-rounded person.

Remember when she used to wonder why you even need to have friends? Now, she finally understands the importance of friendships (even the weird and hyper ones).

3. Fashion Forever

Before: You dont need to dress up so much to go play in the park. Who are you trying to impress?

Now: Why do you always look homeless? Go change! You cannot go to the supermarket in your pajamas.

Every time you dressed up, she thought it was because you wanted to impress the boys. Now she understands that looking good makes you feel good too. Besides, she is your best shopping buddy. Thanks for the countless clothes, mom!

4. Phone All Day

Before: I should have never got you a phone! You spend all day using your phone. Why cant you keep it down for a minute?

Now: I finished the new series. What else can we watch? Lets start the show together!

Your mom has come a long way from nagging you to stop using your phone to binge-watching TV series with you on her phone.

5. Kitchen Skills

Before: You should learn how to cook. How will you feed your future family if you dont know how to make biryani?

Now: Youre 25 years old. At least learn to make a good cup of tea.

You know that times have changed when your mom still makes tea for you! She knows youve got to cook for yourself once you move out and pampers you as long as you stay with her.

6. The Cunning Curfew

Before: You can go but make sure you come home before it gets dark.

Now: I know you wont come home before 4 a.m. Ill keep the dinner in the fridge for you. Make sure you eat it. Stay safe.

Moms happily send us out partying, unlike the earlier days when we had to be home by 6 p.m. Now, they are ready to learn some dance moves too!

7. The Drinking Game

Before: I smell the alcohol in your breath. Did you drink? Youre grounded!

Now: Its been a while since we drank. Make me a nice cocktail, and Ill fry us some kebabs.

You gotta agree that its super cool to drink with your mom because she makes delicious finger food. *drools*

Am I right, or am I right? Your mom is your best friend, and she will continue to be! If you could relate to this article, share it with your mothers over a hearty laugh!
