Yes, it's true everything you've probably heard about Colombian mothers.

 

Between the phrases "do whatever you want" or "as long as you live under this roof and these four walls you do what I say", it's quite an experience. 

​

This was not my case, but the cold water shower was, my mother said "they came out meek, quiet" and I said "how awful", to which she responded very appropriate of her role "you will remember me when you have children".

​

I guess only the future will tell. 

​

P.S. In defense of my poor mother who is probably going to read this, I deserved it, it was time to tone down the tantrums somehow. So I love you and I'm sorry mom!
