He threw tantrum

The weather these days reminded me of winter time in foreign land. It’s a little cold and depress in the morning but after a steamy hot shower, everything seems fine. It washes away the dead cells; rejuvenating the flaky dry skin with moisturizing crème, bringing back pleasant appearance to life. It's easy to deal with lousy appearance but...

Dealing with BB’s tantrum, what can I do to make him stop tumbling his feet and crying demandingly? I wonder was I like that when I was little? BB will cry for things he wants if we refuse to give him. I think he has tumbled his feet 5 times in total, turning in circle 2 times, sticking his face on a glass drawer 1 time, crying furiously 7 times, laying on the floor slamming his palm 2 times. He was definitely testing our patience. If we give in, he will be ok in minutes wiping his tears away on our shirt and continued playing with what he has achieved. There were this instant, he was perfectly ok eating his fish stripe snack but the moment he saw me, he quickly threw out the entire fish stripe from the packet to the carpet and couch. “BB, don’t do that, STOP”. Beat, Beat beat his backside 3 times. He pretended to cry to protest; he gave me a cheeky stare.

GOSH!!! What can I do??? Tired and worn out. *BB, mommy is going to make you pay for my agony when you grow up *

They like to test our reaction, see when they can get away with things... my son's better behaved around his dad, and he knows he can bully mummy, coz mummy also quite lousy, easy to give in to his whims...

try this out the next time he did it again: dont talk to him, just pick up whatever he threw on the floor. Refuse talking to him ( or even looking )...hehe maybe he will come back n say sorry lo...

With Zara, she'll bully her kakak (maid), with me, I just give her the stare, and said "you naughty, mummy beat beat". Normally, she'll tone down, but sometimes she'll still try to push further to see if I will really carry out what I said I would..

They are very smart aren't they?

Next time when BB is older, you can make him pay by giving you hefty allowances.. kekeke

Sue, I must agree with you that they test and bully us most of the time. We got to be firm man!!!

mom2ashley, cute only if he is less hiper and naughty. :P

ah-li, how I wish, he will probably flee the crime scene and on his way making another.

King's wife, yaya...and I think I am gonna ignore him.

Zara's mama,yup, they are getting smarter and smarter each day. kekekeke, I thought so too. Don't care, he must give me loads of allowances!!! :D

i dun have a son/a child yet...

but when i was caring for my nephew and niece when they are little, i just pretend to ignore them when they throw tantrum. Then I speak to them like adult, asking them what they want to achieve. Sometimes, I start asking them to do adult thing, and they kinda feel empowered. Surprisingly, they stop and think and then no more tantrum.

But now, they are so big, they have minds of their own. Cannot do tricks on them anymore. They know all my tricks by now

Dinner. Stranger.

LAST NIGHT was MIL’s birthday. We went for a simple dinner at Mt. Kiara, a Taiwanese restaurant. Bb was excited to be out as usual, trying to show off how to operate his Bob the Builder’s bottle to uncle Jo, Bil. He has been sipping water from that bottle ever since daddy purchased it, which is good, no more bottles in public. He also created rapport with waiter and waitresses there. There was a fat uncle got so fond of him and present-ed him a chopstick holder. (Like that also can. Hah!) Bb showed it to me, it was in the shape of a Japanese koi fish. I told him to return it to uncle, Sri told me he returned but uncle insisted he kept it. UR! Okay! “Well, then you can keep it” I told him. Later, he came to me telling he was scared. I asked him why, he told me the BIG BIG uncle scary. Actually according to Sri, that uncle wanted to carry him, he got scared. Mil told me this - Once a stranger offer to carry bb, he wanted to go with stranger, mil threatened him that if he goes, he will ne

Do you give money to beggars?

As I lay flat on my Yoga mat, images of beggars on a damp street of the Friday Pasar malam flashing in my mind. A mother with a one-year-old child on her lap, he was drinking milk while another toddler sitting right beside her. She was digging her foot the time I saw her. Further up, there is another dark and skinny old man lying on a thin layer of cardboard. He put his palm together to form the prayer sign to passerby for sympathy. Beside him, it was packets of drink given by kind soul. I was going to give each of them a dollar. A gentle voice whispered to me. By the time I came back from all shopping, I left a 50 ringgit note and a one ringgit note. As I was nearer to the old man, I told bb to pass the money to the old man. He did, dropping the one ringgit in his plastic container. The old man shakes his hand hard to thank us. I feel so bad for the man. But then on a second thought, could he be a drug addict waiting for his fix? The mother again, I was not willing to give awa
