• About

    My firstborn gave me the title of Cybermom when I began nagging him through emails while he was in college. The rest of the family also complained that I nagged. I can’t help it; it is part of me. But what with the boys having flown the coop, the poor Lord and Master (L&M) was left to bear the brunt of all that nagging. Then the younger one came home on a holiday and had a brainwave. He started a blog for me so that I could go online and nag the world at large!  When he asked me to give a name to the blog, I didn’t have to think twice – and so Cyber Nag was born.

    Nagging is actually an art if you ask me: You have to pick up the object carefully. Otherwise you are completely ignored. The golden rule is: Never ever nag directly. Make neutral statements about things that bother you to the world at large. And viola! The stinky trash can is emptied and somehow the leaky tap that had been driving you nuts, gets fixed. Keep reading my posts and you will become an expert too!

    On my blog, I nag about things that make me react to them in some way. But they are all everyday stuff that anyone can identify with. Sometimes the Cyber Nag will take you back in time; at others you might just be living through the event; you will cry with me and you will laugh with me too.

    So welcome to my space, read my posts and give me your comments and criticisms so that I can come back and nag you some more!

      Excellent! Like the made-over look, and, of course, your posts….and at 60+, waiting for 2 super-achiever daughters to ‘fly the coop’ so that I too can encourage their super achiever mom to take to blogging………

      • October 6, 2011 at 3:10 pm

        Thank you for the compliments. II will promptly pass on to the younger one the one for the makeover and keep for myself the one on my posts :) Why wait for the girls to fly the coop? I am sure a super achiever is fully capable of multi-tasking, including blogging :D
