I've been wanting to write but I just cant make myself sit down and write like I used to. But this time I have to write. the reason, there is an incindence yesterday that made me feel angry,mad, sad, mixed feeling actually.
I have been spending more time with my litte girl, expossing her to many things at the same time try to prevent her from learning bad things. I know this is quite hard as she is also learning from the TV and her surroundings. I have read from Edna's blog about she being smacked by a boy in one of the shopping complex in KL. I just could not imagine what will my reaction be if I am in her shoe. That is in kl, I thought it would not happend in KK.
Yesterday, we brought Sona to one of the park in KK. This is her third time there. She likes to play at the playground. She wanted to play the seesaw so I brought her and put her together with a girl and a boy- the seesaw has four sitters). Then, I heard the boy said to her mum he doesn't want anybody else to be on it. The mother then explain to him that this is a public park and everything is meant to be shared. Then the boy made a face and mumbling something like " this is not cool bro..." bla bla and keep on shaking the seasaw and the mother didnt even stop him. She just keep on saying don't. She should have grab her boy and bring him away. Wow, I felt hurt but I dare not say anything to the boy. I feel like saying something but he is only a boy rite? ...I don't know. I just grab Sona and walked away. I am just happy that she didn't fell from the seesaw.Otherwise I am not sure what I will do. I may have smack the boy..hehe
Honestly I pity her mother, I don't even dare to look her straight to the face.The way the boy speaks is a reflection of how he was brought up, that is what I think. May be I am wrong. I know parenting is not easy but at least we try our best to teach what is good and how our children behave in public. I see challenges but I will do my part.

Some kids are just simply rude, but cant blame them. They learnt from external factors, like tv, parents, schools etc.......
Once I took my girls to the small playground in Warisan. There were the small playing house there. They were playing inside when this lil girl came. And I thought maybe she was there earlier bt went to the other slide when Indy and Maya arrived. So all of sudden, this girl strom in the house and yelled : NO!! OUT!! NOW!!! This is mine!!!
and slammed the door.
Wow!!! I was like: eeeer.....
bt ok la , kids mah. That happened for sometimes. And I tried to say : can we play together? and the girl just refused.
The worst part was that her mom was just there , 2 metre apart, just looking , and didnt say a thing. Didn't even bother or said something to the girl.
I just told my girls that,well some body just can't share and that is not nice at all. We go play other things lar.
I m sure the mother heard that.And she just looked at me ( not in a nice way).
that I didnt even bother to listen. We moved to the slide. But then that lil girl followed my girls. So Indy was like : apa laaa??? first dont want us to play wth you and now you are following me?
So, I told my girls : see... playing alone is not so fun after all is it? No matter what you have and how beautiful is it, if you got no friends to share with, what is the point???
and yes.. I am sure the mother listened
*EVIL LAUGH*......
you can tell the fruits won't fall far from the tree.
my nephew who's almost 3 now is also that type of kid.. he pushes other smaller kids (like mia), refuses to share, has bad temper tantrums, screams and shouts in public excessively etc..etc.. my in laws have tried many2 ways/methods to keep him under control but it's not easy.. reasoning, threatening, punishing, praising etc.. maybe some kids are just like that.. hope he'll outgrow it very soon.. i really pity them..
Rose. yes cant blame them but i think parents have to monitor and maybe check where they learn that from. i noticed sona like to say NO No NOOOOOOOOOOOO..and i realised she picked it up from DIBO, the bunny character so now i try to avoid that show.
Sandra...hahaha..ya, you really dare to talk like that .i don't but al least indy can communicate with you. sona cant yet.may be if it happens again i will have the gut to say it. we as parents need to at least teach them and correct them. if just let them go away with it, the kids will think it's ok to be rude
ethel, may be boys are like that ah..i we only have girls here so cant really say much. but i do pity those parents with rude kids.
Yeah some parents just let their kids say/do whatever they want & never bother to correct them. It's kind of frustrated...
