"On Saturday morning, the breeze was so fresh and cool to the extent that I couldn't get out of bed but my mom wouldn't let me rest because it was the weekend", Samantha said to her friend as they walk into the school canteen.
"But why is your mom always like that, didn't she realize you are just a teenager and you need enough rest on weekends after a very busy week at school", Blessing replied.
"Seriously, I am so tired of that house and I can't wait to finish up my secondary school and go to the university so that I can have peace of mind", Samantha ended the conversation while they wait for their order.
They got their food and took a comfortable spot in the cafeteria to enjoy their meal
School activities ended and the girls went to their respective homes.
"Mom, am home", Samantha announced her presence as she entered the parlor.
Samantha's mom replied from that kitchen, "Sam, please freshen up and give me a hand in the kitchen".
Samantha grumbled as she walked slowly to the kitchen, "Oh, what is this again? I should have followed Blessing to her house so that I could rest a little".
"Are you insulting me?", her mother asked but Samantha denied it.
Later in the day, Samantha's mom called her daughter from the sitting room but the lazy girl wouldn't answer. She knew her mom wanted to send her on an errand and it make her angry.
She eventually got to the parlor where her mom was sitting and asked, "I am a small girl mom so why are you treating me like an adult?".
Her mom smiled and replied, " an 18 years old is not small. You are finishing secondary school soon which means you are becoming an adult in a few months".
Samantha doesn't want to be useful to her mom which makes all what her mom was teaching her stressful to her. She wants to be pampered like her friend does tell her in school.
Her mom requested that she should sit beside her and Samantha did with anger which was written all over her face but her mother doesn't care about that, she just wanted to make sure she turn out to be a very useful and hard-working girl when she grow up.
"You want to be treated as a baby but you always request for adult things. Let me tell you something if you don't take care of yourself and your messy room I will never let you rest in this house because you are a girl which means you must learn how to take care of yourself and the environment", said Samantha's mom.
Her mom promised to ground her even on weekends if she refuses to turn a new leaf.
Samantha knew her mom is very angry at her this time because she has never been that serious with her like that before. She could feel the anger boiling in her mom and she was scared of what the judgment her mom can make on her if she refuse to change.
" I am sorry for being lazy and I promise to change," says Samantha with a sorry face.
Her mom saw how sorry she was and she replied, "Until I see you taking care of that your messy room before I believe that you have truly changed".
Samantha tried her possible best to change which made her mother happy and on her 18 years birthday Samantha got a surprise birthday gift from her mom for being a changed person.
I am happy Samantha turned a new leaf, she might be comparing herself with her friend but her mother wants the best for her.
I am also happy for her if not am sure she wouldn't like her mother's judgement if she refused to change
Her mom will do something rash and it will further ruin their relationship, Samantha will be at the losing end from all angles.
Growing up always comes with responsibilities. These seemingly insignificant small details are shaping the person of the future.
I liked reading your story.
Thanks for sharing.
Good day.
Thanks for always reading my story I really appreciate your beautiful comment
😂 Samantha doesn't know that university is not a place where you can have peace of mind. It's just another round of stress.. She isn't aware that things are easier when you're in secondary school. Should we tell her? 😂
LoL 😂 maybe we should let her know what is coming her way
Some teenagers believe that when they get into the university they can do whatever they like which is not so
University comes with more work and responsibilities
Samantha at 18 and she was still seeing herself a baby. She must have been brought up in a soft. Lol🤣.
It's good that her brain got reset on time
LoL 😂 some girls are just like that in nature until their parents change towards them for a better change in their lives
Yeah, sure.
Especially these days of slaying 🤧
What a wonderful way to proof that she is a changed person.
I love the piece.
Like seriously I love the fact that she changed her ways of being a dirty girl that always mess up her room
Samantha resents the process of growing up and is reluctant to fulfil some obligations, but she is beginning to write a new page in her life and her mother wants her to see her as responsible for herself. The first thing is to pay attention to the mess in her room. Thank you for this story, @princess-dara. We appreciate your comments on other stories.

Samantha was going through a phase and got carried away. 😅
It's good as her mother was quick to notice and caution her.
