A mad morning
Since I was quite busy on the past few days, I promised myself that I would spend more time with QiQi this queenmorning, and cook her a nice meal for lunch before sending her to nanny. Good enough she woke up with me together at 9am, I made her milk and check on my computer. After finished her milk, she insisted that I put bounce her on my new gym ball while I posting some mails, fine, I bounced her for awhile. Then she wanted warm water in her bottle while I was preparing the cooking ingredients, so I got to stop and wash my dirty hands to entertain the queen. Meanwhile frying mee hoon in my wet kitchen, she screamed again from the living hall, asking me to come and collect her bottle. (she really has this bad habit of having us collect the bottle from her hand aafter she finish whatever she is drinking). And once I again, I come to her to obey her wish.
After lunch has been prepared, she didnt wanna eat. Nor she wanna let me trim her hair and insisted on both of us taking shower together! I am really mad now as I told her she will have her hair trim first before taking shower, and she cried and cried. Really drove me up to the wall that I spanked her 3 times, real hard until my hands became red!Â
My thick skin monkey gal doesn’t seems to feel the pain each time I hit her. She will keep on crying until I give in to whatever she wants. After the shower, she then willing to go to her nanny. By then, I lost my mood to spend another minute more with her…..SIGH…wonder what will my life be if she stay at home with me all day!
I’m sorry, I don’t mean to offend you but I don’t believe in physical punishment.. should use psychology method with children.. again totally my opinion..
hahhaha me also not as maternal too…will go crazy if i have to spend more time with them, that reminds me i still got a tag to do on SAHM or FTWM
surely u can guess if i am SAHM or FTWM??
best is to have half of both, hehe….!
haha..i think i can imagine how fuming u are that time :P. my faythe also drives me up the wall sometimes with her teribble 2s. But I won’t give in, just let her cry, after sometime she gets the cue that she’s not getting attention
jaz, i tried to ignore her, but she cried real hard till she vomits and she can even cry for more than 30mins real loud. I can’t tolerate that kind of madness!
I’m not sure whether QiQi’s nanny teaches her to be independent or not but after sending Belle to daycare, she has learned a lot about independency. For example, in school, the teachers have taught her to put the plates and cups in the sink after they are done eating/drinking. Nowadays, whenever she doesn’t wanna drink anymore, she will insist to put her cup on the table (’cos our sink is too high for her). Maybe you can instruct nanny to teach her since she spends half her day with her. At home, you can emphasize it. I’m sure it will take a while to change her habit of asking you to take her bottle away but at least you’re substituting it with another method. Give it a try and let me know if it works.
I fully agree with what Vien comment. My 2 boys really has different attitude..Jona (taken care by my mom - really over pampered till now): one answer, like QiQi, me really sometimes ‘be ta han’ with him…but, for my cuttie Isaac Noel, different case - he taken care by nanny and she really implement good attitude on him: finish milk/water, will put bottle nicely on floor/table/etc…finish eating yogurt/snack, will put the bowl/cup into kitchen sink to be wash by me,etc… except like ’superb glue’ to momi lor… ;P
Your qiqi sounds a bit like my alycia. When this happens, i will first try to give her an option, if that fails and she still cries, i will ignore her, let her cry her eyes out, vomit nvm. Sure she will ‘recover’ in no time, normally 1/2hr, she will be bk to her normal self, laughing & playing with her sis again.
hmmm..true, kids have to teach since there are small. My boy still small , i duno how will i do if case happened like ur girl. But i guess kids will be more independent and obey when there with nanny. Sometime i also abit ’sam thong’ how nanny taking k Jeremy, nanny won pamper him very much like us and PIL. In other way is good to train him more behave and independent.
(once there very good kiss thousand time also not enuf, kiss from toe to head, once there like lil monster, feel like buang dalam tong sampah …. LOL (joke) )
QiQi is very clever. she behaves pretty well with her nanny, does most of her things by herself, and sure knows who to bully when she comes home. with her father, it is even worse…
actually, I also can’t be a SAHM.. I think I’ll go crazy!
