Random Thoughts..

Sometimes having a kid either foster closer or break or worsen one's relationship and it also depend on the person's school of thoughts on how to handle a child's tantrums / unreasonable demands.

When you are late for an appointment and your kid insist of watching his favourite disc and keep harping, whinning and ended up crying and pleading for you to play for him insteading of moving his arse out of the house.

What do you do? Give in to him so as to shut him up because he is still too young? Or stick to your principles.. No means No.. if I give in to you once..it means you can climb over my head the next time?

I admit that I may not be the best parenting role model but I will talk and reason or pacify you for that few minutes.. and if things don't go my way, I flare up. Yes, I'm short-fused... Then I start to raise my voice and use the word cane as a scare tatic.

Sometimes I wish that they can be a perfect solution to handle kids nowadays.. thinking corner? canning? time-out?

I can only pray that he can stop using crying method as a way to get what he wants because he can really drive me up to the wall! He can drive me crazy when he start chanting and crying for his unreasonable needs.
