As human beings we all have expectations. Expectation from every relationship, expectations of good results after hard work, expectations at work.

It is very difficult to not have expectations. Sometimes we don't mean it consciously but subconsciously we expect certain things. Yes i know expectations are the source of all sorrows and we do not have any rights or control over results as described by Lord Krishna in one of his famous verses of GITA.
Yet as much as I have sailed through my life until now, from a girl or a female infant I became a daughter, from daughter to wife, from wife today I am going to be a mother, I am expecting. I am carrying a baby in my womb. The sole purpose of the universe behind incarnating a soul in a particular is getting fulfilled through this process. But I have a few questions which ponder me time and again.

Until a female becomes a wife she is considered human and at the tiem she becomes pregnant she suddenly becomes holy, sacred and people start making her the goddess. Yes ofcourse i do not deny this type of adulation, it is welll deserved by a pregnant female for all the difficulties and changes she undergoes in the process of pregnancy.

But does that mean she has to become expectation less completely like a saint!?

Or she has rights of expectations with limits?
What expectations did your mom have from you? Did you fulfill her expectations?

What expectations do you have from your child? And what would you do if your child fails you?
