It shouldn't be a question mark, I know. The statement has been proven overtime. In fact, aside from just reading of its certainty on books, I saw it demonstrated before my very own eyes as well. Yes! That's in real life!

But well, I'm having second thoughts lately....

Let's have hypothetical situations first shall we?

Ok, this is one of those tricky questions, you've probably heard about it before. Let's say you're a wife and a mother, and you, your hubby and your daughter are out there on the cliffs. You're a bunch of adventrous people and you just love mountain climbing. Let's say a tragedy happened and you found yourself hanging there on a rope, with your daughter hanging on to a rope tied on your left leg while your hubby is hanging on to the rope tied on your right leg. Well, you have to let go of one or all of you will fall because the rope that's holding you (and obviously holding your family as well) is about to let loose, you need to free up weight, that means, letting go of one member of the family. Well, it so happens you need to reach a decision, real quickly... who will you cut off?

I guess that's kinda hard, let's make things a little easier, I don't want to put you on a spot. Let's change the scenario but let's stay on that you being a wife and a mother. Ok, here goes. Your hubby and daughter are quarelling. You know your daughter did something that will bring shame to the family and your hubby was so disgusted he wants to cut off your daughter from this so-called family. But you are having doubts about doing that as well since you know (everybody in the family knows) that your husband made a decision long ago which actually ruined your daughter's life and the reason why she's been into doing acts that she shouldn't have done. But well, that's a lame excuse. Your daughter should be punished still for her wrong doings. Will you go let your hubby turn the whole family's back from your daughter or would you defend her (again) and make sure she won't do another crazy thing again?

Now that second scene is definitely easier, right? I guess a woman will turn her back from being a mother then and embrace her wifey obligations (which is to respect the husband's decision). Besides, her daughter has been causing her heartache lately, it's easier for everybody (excluding the daughter) to just cut-off the ties.

Well... When I become a mother (soon, I'll be) and I'll be in this situation, I'll definitely won't abandon my child! She's my blood, she came from me, I'm her mother for God's sake! A mother cannot turn her back from her child, right? WRONG!

I just found out, rather painfully, that Water is thicker than Blood. It seems the blood that flows in my veins is as dense as water, it isn't really thick as blood, or maybe that I don't really have my parents' blood at all. Yep, last night's events confirmed it all and I'll never ever forget the 31st of August 2008. Never. That was the day I realized that the most important woman in my life will choose water over blood...
