My coping mechanism 1. I stopped interfering too much with her sleeping routine. Unless there's somewhere important she needs to be, I let her sleep and wake up when she is ready. I found that constantly reminding her to wake up was causing unnecessary arguments. Since giving her that space, she naturally gets up and helps with a few chores around the house. 2. accepted that the little girl I dropped off at Res in 2024 is no longer a little girl. She is a young woman now. She goes out with friends, makes her own plans and sometimes informs me rather than asking for permission. As long as I know where she is going, believe it is reasonably safe, and she keeps me updated, I try to give her the freedom she needs. 3. I choose my battles. Not everything needs a lecture, an argument or a correction. Sometimes peace is more important. I remind myself that university is helping them grow into independent adults. Our role slowly changes from managing them to guiding them. 4. I keep communication open. I rather she feels comfortable talking to me than feel like she is constantly being monitored, hard as it sounds

Hello ma As a university student I'll like to say University isn’t just lectures and assignments. It’s exams that decide our whole semester in 2 hours. It’s weeks where we barely sleep, survive on coffee, and feel like our brains are going to shut down. It’s walking out of a test not knowing if we passed or just lost everything we worked for.. That’s why when we get home, we crash. We sleep in. We’re quiet. We nap on the couch. It’s not because we’re lazy or because we don’t appreciate everything you’ve done. It’s because home is the only place where we feel safe enough to finally put everything down. is the only time the noise in our heads stops.So when we visit and all we do is sleep and relax, please know it’s not us wasting time. It’s us healing so we can go back and keep fighting. We need those few days with you to recharge.Please be patient with us bazali😭😩

Oh shame they are tired bethuna. They've just completed semester exams. Uni ain't easy bathong. Also we can't compare them with us, they grew up differently from us. We were forced to be strong, bona ba weak. Mna I'm okay, as long the results are satisfactory.

I'm enjoying every moment with my daughter. I don't wake her up coz I know sometimes at res she sleeps at 3am or 4am studying. I make breakfast for her, cook and all that. She's already dealing with alot in res. She's at home to rest and recharge
