I say this to my kids all the time. Do it for the plot. Do it for the story. Tell yourself if it all goes wrong it will just be a funny story. Ironically job interviews, dates, and public speaking go better anyway if you're just happy to be there and not overthinking it!!
Anytime your married brother or sister who is living in America or Europe wants to take your mother to abroad with them,
Here are things that you need to do to make sure your Mom is not turned to a house Maid:
1) Before she leave, agree on a verbal sign she will give you to indicate she is at home alone and is able to communicate.
2) Make sure that you make it clear to your sibling that your mother must be provided with her own cellphone.
3) Make sure that they provide you the full address of their residence - you can now use google to get the address and phone number of their nearest Police station.
4) Make it clear to them that any day that Mama say that she is going home, that she is to be put in the plane within 2 weeks.
Our mother is not your Babysitter - she has raised her own children, go and raise your own.
She can assist with her grandchildren but that has to be willingly.
YOUR MOTHER IS NOT YOUR MAiD!
Lol.
Medical doctors use the "doctor" title as a courtesy. Actually they initially adopted the title to gain legitimacy & elevate the field.
The title accurately belongs to academic doctorate holders.
