Patience is a virtue

This little shortie is growing so fast....

He’ll be 3yo in less than a month... how did time fly by this quickly? The nights are indeed long... I still rmb how we struggled and how messed up I was in my work when he arrived...

Took more than a year to get things back on track...

But this boy......... oh my heart....

Now every scolding I give him is met with a ‘noooo...’ then followed by a mighty creative argument of why he did the said wrong thing 😂

Like the other day, I was telling him to leave some of the lemon barley for wp and not to finish the whole cup...

👦🏻: noooo, this is for me. Papa don’t want to drink this. Papa drink this (went to take the can of ice cream soda from the table to show me)

And his reasoning skills quite power I must say! Haha.. some of the ‘reasons’ actually do make sense..

Like when we ask him to take off his shoes when he gets home:

👦🏻: noooo cannot... my hand dirty (which is kinda true cos he was eating waffle otw home)

So saying so, I believe this boy will be a challenge to the both of us as he grows up! Let’s see how creative we all can be!

On a whole other note, ytd he had a bad fall onto the back of his head.. resulting in quite a bad lump currently.

So when it came to sleeping time, he somehow got the idea that lying on his head would be painful. Cried the house down without even trying cos he said he was scared...

Haizz, then rejected the papa from crying him..

I know it hurts to be rejected when your own kid doesn’t want you to comfort him when all u want is to make him feel better.. :(

And me watching the whole thing makes me hurt even more.

But isn’t it normal for a child to want their mother a little more than their dad in the initial years? I mean assuming the mum is the softer of the 2 and speaks in nicer tones... 😬

Seriously I just feel that in recent week, the boy has learnt that when someone shouts at him, it’s because the person is angry with him.

And this feeling of having someone angry at him makes him scared and cry as a result.

So there was a loooooot of crying in the past week+... cos he would tell me after that that I can’t be angry (with) him.

Haiz the hubs is not a bad father... he just has a very bad (and short) temper... it will not help to whack this kid whenever he misbehaves because that’s just not how u educate a kid.

Yes, I agree with beating but ONLY when the situation calls for it. Do it too often and it loses its effect. I just wish the hubs can calm down at times and see what I mean.

Really dislike the shouting fest whenever he beats the boy so hard that he cries sooooo badly.. n I see the burning red mark on his small body....

My heart just can’t take it......

Don’t ask me if it’s my biz.. of cos it’s my biz... tts our son... 

I’m not saying we can’t beat him.. just don’t beat and shout at him so often. He’s a kid. Kids are assholes..

just wish he has a little more patience in him... I know he has....... 😔

We love u b... as much as your son says that he doesn’t like u, pls don’t take it to heart ok?

He still soooo young.. just shower him with more love and patience ok.. it’s like nurturing a plant... u can de! 💪🏼
