Only few people know
that my mom is a Librarian by profession and I think most of my friends knew
she's a plain house wife that serves them snacks at our house.
Growing up, my mom never
left for work and do the house chores most of the time.
Seldom have we had
conversations regarding her education or work before they get
married.
My mom is a
Librarian,
She graduated with
a Bachelor Degree of Education major in Library Science.
She was a Scholar.
She lives in a very big
Family.
Her parents went abroad.
She never took the Board
Exam.
She worked in a
University, also in Special Libraries.
She met my father and
has 5 kids and works at home 24/7 with no rest days.
I think these
experiences made her what she is right now and only few people can relate how
living with a Librarian mom looks like.
So I listed down
interesting things which a librarian mother or kids with parents working in a
library can relate.
5 Things Only Kids Whose
Parent is a Librarian will understand:
1. The way they
Discipline their Children.
Many people misinterpret how Librarians discipline their clients in the Libraries. Maybe because for some reasons that...
They shout more often.
They give notices and
penalties.
They reprimand.
They smile at people as
if they knew each other, which may looks creepy at some point.
Their eyebrows
meet when someone caught their attention.
At home, they do the
same thing. They are the same person.
They shout and punish
you when you do something wrong.
They give you less
allowance if they are short and give you a lot when they feel rich...
They
explain to you what went wrong.
They are also friendly to the neighbors.'
And by the time their
eyebrows meet, you must know how to behave and should never-ever answers back.
All of these are true but they are not bad as you think.
In fact, they are the most rewarding kind of people I knew.
2. They give Importance
to Budgeting.
I think the secret is
that my mom goes to the market almost every day. She gets the budget from the apartment's rent and also from Dad's salary. She hates it when everything doesn't goes
well to the budget.
I remember she used to
tell me that when I become a Librarian, budgeting is one of most vital parts of
work. One must be knowledgeable and have enough experience in the field.
3. They are the Best
Cook.
My mom cooks 2-3 meals a
day.
She had her practice
when she was still young, from the help of cookbooks she read in the library
and food magazines as well.
4. They know how to Plan
Ahead.
All mothers are not
perfect, they have imperfections as well.
And that’s why my mom loves to plan
ahead. I was thinking maybe she planned making me a librarian after all or else I will
never have the chance to work abroad and earn for myself.
5. They will be your number 1 Support.
I've been to so many
jobs within 3 years, from BPO industries and from different types of Libraries.
But my mom never left my side, she supported me in every decisions I make. I know
she believes in me more than myself.
I remember the day when
I asked mom, what if I failed to pass the Licensure Examination. I think it would be really hard for me to accept it and because I really tried my best and it will
be the best gift for my Birthday. I was really worried and stressed that time
waiting if I will pass or not. Mom knows I will pass. She even told me than It would be harder for her if I failed.
I took the exam first
time and passed. She asked me to enroll for
a Master’s Degree and helps me paying the tuition.
Everything I owe to her.
I will never be thankful enough.
and I thank God I have a Librarian Mom.
