凑女经

话说上嗰礼拜我签咗维持6嗰月嘅课程。membership 系七月开始。所以哩几个礼拜嘅周末都得闲。所谓嘅working mom, weekend is the only bonding time with your kids! 一直都好钟意行街街嘅我就啦埋#rascaltoddler一起出!

又唔想洗咁多钱,就带咗佢去间无咩野买嘅shopping mall。行入间玩具铺以为佢会想要嗰玩具啦,点知佢又对啲嘢无兴趣哦。奇怪!

再行下就入咗间indoor playground。好啦被佢burn下啲energy。而我又可以休休闲闲咁坐向到睇住佢玩。一举两得! ✌🏻

Weekend entrance fee is RM40 per adult & 1 child with unlimited time. You can re enter unlimited time too for the day. 

There is an indoor man made beads/sand pit for the kids to play like they are on the beach. And numerous slides. But the space is very limited and from our last visit till last Saturday no refurbishment done, no replacing of toys too. Pretty nothing much and quite pricey for such space. So, you judge yourself.

Venue: Quill City Mall

She was obsessed of the man made beads/ sand pit the last we visited but, this round, she seems to have OCD neat freak. She couldn't step on it at the beginning until she saw there were other children doing the same and it looks like fun. 

唔知系唔系佢真系咁闷叻。见到其他小朋友就极度兴奋定系.....?? (fill in the blanks)

She followed her new friends and try to join the crowd, again being overly friendly herself, she always get rejected by people. Pity her. 


 
 

尤其系见到大哥哥,种兴奋吖!

可惜系佢过渡嘅热情吓走啲大哥哥囖。一系就人地唔同佢玩,一系就玩玩下,为咗争野玩,意见不合做喊宝。

小朋友玩一定会要损伤。做啊妈嘅要老定。唔好小朋友一喊就以为小朋友被俾人虾。话说,热情嘅#rascaltoddler好开心咁join啲大哥哥一起玩。一路都唔系几钟意佢啲大哥哥一直抗拒佢。但系大哥哥嘅啊妈好好人。一直同佢地讲要同妹妹玩。玩到一个点,出事啦!唔知大哥哥点整到,受伤啦。喊嗮咁。好紧张嘅我跑过去系死咁道歉!

我认定咗系我家嘅#rascaltoddler整到人。Asshole parenting point 1. Thank god 大哥哥嘅妈咪唔介意种系到话小事嚟噶唔好喊。我完全无留意到#rascaltoddler嘅面目表情就一起同人地道歉。Asshole parenting point 2

过后,大哥哥一家就离开playground。我地都匆匆离开。不好意思了Asshole parenting point 3

我地就咁去咗食lunch。Settled down in restaurant 过后,佢想要Pororo, I refused because still angry at her for being rough at playground. Of course she didn't understand why I refused to and just let her continue crying. 

Then I talked to her about the incident. I asked her 3 questions:

1) why you played rough in the playground just now?
2) don't you know you've hurt people?
3) why can't you stop being a brat and listen?

Duh..she cried even more, cos she didn't understand obviously.

Then I asked her one more time. 

Do you know you've hurt 大哥哥just now? 

She stopped crying. Looked at me and say: NO!!

And continue to wailed

Face palm la! 

What am I thinking trying to talk some senses into a 2 year old mind? 

Took a deep breath (while taking the phone out for her Pororo) I asked her again in mandarin: 你是不是觉得哥哥痛痛是不关你事呢?

佢点头。

是不是哥哥自己弄到pain pain. 不是melody弄到的?

佢讲咗一连串baby language. But my mother instinct told me she was trying her best to explain what had happened of that incident and it has nothing to do with her.

哪。。melody是个good girl 吗?

佢mm咗一声。

哪。。是melody要讲sorry吗?

佢突然间大喊!

Ok,哪是不是妈咪要讲sorry呢?

佢收少少声然后叫一声mommy(with a very sad face 😭 😭 😭)

I hugged her and played her favourite Pororo.

嗰一刻真系好想来杯红酒冷静下。
She settled down and started to laugh at the cartoon feeling contented that she can watch her favourite Pororo. But I felt like an asshole at that moment. Seriously.. as parents, we always repeat the same mistakes again and again even we've vowed not to and reminded ourselve to never do such a mistake. 

For example this situation:

1) obviously she didn't feel she did anything wrong, she didn't understand why she has to apologize. Maybe at that time she was passing by or conveniently standing nearby the boy. So when the boy cried I've immediately jump to the conclusion that she was the one that is hurting him. Why would I not consider that she is only 2 years old when the boy obviously 2 years elder than her. How can she even strong enough to hurt him?

2) even so she hurt him for instance, I should have check on the boy injury if it is serious rather than apologizing again and again. And the next I should be checking on is her. If she is hurt too?

3) lastly, I should explain the situation to her at that point of time and not later when it is over. Cos from her reaction, giving her benefit of doubt, she think she is innocent.

Damn.

This is not good at all.

We returned home and putting these dramas behind us. 

Sorry baby, I vow to be better. In mean time, please give both of us the patience. I know the age is near when you think I don't understand you. Don't slam the door on me ok?

I love you, baby!


来几张开心相先:
