The Third Day

Today is the third day of school. And guess what? Fatin is absent. Why? For some reasons she just didn't feel like going to school today.

This morning she woke up a bit early than the last 2 days. Usually she gets to continue her sleep but today she had to wake up for school. With not-so-good mood, she got dressed up. Nak jadi sebab, her pink shades patah. And she started crying telling me Adik yang patahkan. Padahal Adik (the innocent) tak kacau pon cermin mata tuh. And the crying continues when she got scolded from me for hitting Adik (the innocent, again). And the merajuk started.

After Hubby got down, the sobbing goes on. When Hubby asked what was wrong, the crying started to get louder. Sedih la tuh. So we managed to get her inside the car. It was around 8:15 a.m. at that time. So we went to school. Both myself and her got off and went inside the school compound. Tiba-tiba, she grabbed my hands and pull me off to the car and started crying and said she didn't want to go to school today. Alamak!!! After tugging for about 10 minutes, I gave up and headed to the car. Both myself and Hubby tried to pujuk her but tak jalan. We tried to make her go to school. Rasanya ada la dalam 3 kali pusing kat sekolah tuh. She still insisted that she wanted to go back home.

Finally, I gave up. It was about 9 a.m. and Hubby is already late. I told her teacher that she will be absent today. She is one very hard-headed child. No wonder she will always get what she wanted her way. My worry is that when she got her way once, she will definitely try it again. Susah betul. Then it made me asked myself whether sending her to kindy at the age of 4 is too early. I wonder how the other moms and dads are doing it. Hmm...

In the car, Hubby told me to give Fatin a silent treatment. And I am giving her one now. Honestly, I don't think she understands it. The challenge is so great for me. I don't know what else to do. I am still learning to cope with my toddler's behaviour. I tried the reverse psychology approach; she couldn't care less. I tried the harsher way, our mom's way, scolding-and-cubit; doesn't help either. I am really out of idea on how to handle my bad-tempered toddler. There must be some pieces missing in us that made her as such. Gonna be challenging in finding those missing pieces. HELP!!

P/S : For some reasons, web blogging fulfills me. I was used to writing diaries back in school and college. The habit stops itself when I got married. I have less and less time putting my thoughts into writing. I can very safe say that motherhood is definitely taking the larger part of the cake. Be it whatever cake. With the current technology and paperless approach (I think I type faster than I write nowadays and my handwriting has become so bad), I web blog in my free time even not so free). Now I am back connected to my habit, thanks to Blogger.

P/S 2: I think the kids are still "fascinated" to see me at home with them. Syabil has become so clingy, Fatin too. They are "competing" each other to win my attention. Yang pening Ummi nya laa. Aduh!!!
