Opi is having his final exams this week. And I'm worrying myself to death!
I worry because he's still struggling to read...and as such, any revision on all the subjects include primarily on just how to read the instructions. He could read, but his memory is rather low. Sometimes I feel like 'upgrading his memory size' to a P4 processor and have his 'HD' increased to 50gigs!
I'm nervous..and I have to raise my hat off to Husband who will always calmly and diligently spend time with Opi - reading and revising. I can never do that...I tried but my tolerance level is pretty low when it comes to studying. Hell! I, myself struggled through kindergarten...
On the other hand, I'm not even sure of my parenting techniques now. Yesterday, I swiped some chillies onto Isya's lips. Just because she was yelling "Bodoh!" non-stopped to Opi. It took me half an hour just to pacify her and tone down her swollen lips. She was sobbing so hard that I broke down too. I hugged her and took her for a walk and tried my damnest to explain how much I love her.
Basically, I'm just a totally confused mom.
What worked for Opi just doesn't do it for Isya. There are times that I do wish they come instruction manuals or better still, like programme application where you control the output.

as parents we do that all the time. in a moment of anger we'd do and say things we never mean and then spend hours or even days trying to make up for it. thank goodness our children have the capacity to forgive us. at least i'd like to think they do :)
if we have two children, then there are two different behaviours and hence there must be two different ways to handle them. ditto for three, four or five.
