Sad....

Just noticed that my gal seems to getting closer to my maid. Agrrr!!!! Horrors of horrors. I guess it cant be helped as nowadays, my mum cant carry her becos of her aching arms and shoulders and I wont want to burden her further on this. I appreciate her very much for taking such good care of her when i work.

Still, my heart just break when my gal went to my maid instead of me on 1 or 2 occasions. Hubby said tt she's playing with me and she's jus being "attitude" Nevertheless, i still feel sad.

It doesnt help tt i will be travelling to ANZ for a week in the week of 18 Aug. Hope she really wont forget me :(

Must spend more time with her this weekend. Now, i understand why some parents are so indulging on the kids. Cos' we only take care of them over weekends and we will give in to their demands as much as possible so that they will Love us just as same and not less than the helper or care-giver. I think this is wat pp called as "Compensating" parenting. You try hard to compensate for the lost time that you are working with toys and gifts.

Still, i think i wont be lax on her discipline. There have been many times tt i beat her hands or scold her for bad behaviour. I guess it's a fear tt all parents have, tt their children will love them less for this discipline. Now, i will not be so judgemental on parents of children that are rowdy and spoilt. We are afterall, only humans

Hi, does you girl sleep with the maid at night?

When you overseas, you may want to call her and talk to her daily, I heard it helps to keep strong bond.

No, i have been sleeping with her since the day she's born. I have been insistent on that. Ok, will definitely call back next week to talk to her...

Goah, will miss her Big-time this round!
