Hard to say Good bye

It is hard to say good-bye to bb nowadays, he has so much of awareness that he does not want to let me go every morning. Yesterday, he was so very upset, hung on to my leg and cried so badly. I was as usual late for work and not in any good mood to entertain but this time I shouted at him. Oh God, what have I done? His expression changed drastically, he reached out his hand for me while tears were rolling down fast to his cheek, mucus flowing out from his nose. What a poor boy who has a Big BAD mommy. Sometimes I wish I could be a 24x7 mom. Ohm…It must be hard for him to see me go and have to wave bye bye to me after all that crying. I am so sorry darling.

4pm, I was in the Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara to collect my MyKad. It is ready finally. I went straight to counter eight upon reaching the crowd free department, what a contrast from few months back. Civil officers were leaning back to their seat and happily chatting to each other. Women with fruit still in his mouth asked me impatiently “Apa ini?”(What is this?) “Saya nak ambil Mykad” (I want to collect my MyKad) I replied. “ Awak tak tau baca ke, counter 18, depan”. (You don’t know how to read arr, its counter 18, in front).

Even if I misread the counter number, why was she so rude? Can’t she just reply politely? Does she have to insult people in that rude manner? I did not say much just walked to the correct counter and sat down waiting for my turn. However, after a while my blood started boiling. I should have asked for her name and threaten to launch a compliant for her rudeness or just give her a nice long lecture. Being a nice Malaysian, I just forgive and forgo that tiny little issue and swallowed it as if nothing has happened. GOSH! I just hate myself sometimes letting these monsters enjoying their rudeness.

aiyo.. poor bb. every morning me too having a hard time saying good bye to oscar. that is why i called him like 3 - 4 time a day. kids nowadays are very smart, they know they will have more fun with mommy and daddy around. its especially hard to leave them when they are asleep cos they smell real good and you also wonder if when they woke up, will they miss you as much as you missed them? Agree!!! Report her, even you took your mykad also return and report her!!!!!!!!!!

We sometimes forget and lash at our kids.. aah.. we're only human.. Just have to limit those occassions to as few as possible.

As for the lady.. give her the benefit of doubt.. maybe she had a bad day at home, her baby clung on to her when she wanted to go to work.. :P

This is M'sia.. get real!

poor bb....

gosh! we shouldn't let them get away with that kind of horrendous behavior! even if they had their own problems at home....we shouldn't take it out on others right??? ggess...the lady was talking to you as though she was shooing a stray cat away or something...I'd definitely snap back at the lady. nowadays i know that if i dont say anything, i know i'd regret it...so when these kind of situations comes, i'd try to defend myself.

Don't worry about it, allyfeel, it's just a phase kids go through. You can actually sweeten the deal by saying goodbye and then having someone distract him as you're leaving. Kids generally have short attention spans. Once they're occupied with something else, it's easier for them to let go. Easier on you too, no guilt trip ;)

Tim also cry in the morning, giving lots of excuse not to go to school. But when we reached school, he stopped crying.

If I am a SAHM, maybe I start to cry every morning...:P

This kind will need to fight fire with fire. Be more fierce, and ready to make big hoo-ha.

MylittleChampion,
Ai... you are rite la. I sniff my bb hard at night before he sleep. I think they do miss us also. Bb will wait for my arrival home in the evening. If I don't go back, he will look outside the house very often.

I am trying to control myself more.

The lady definitely not having a bad day. She was chuckling and enjoying herself with colleagues before attending to me. I shld have to sound her. Argh, too late to regret. I am over with it.

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
