Whack! Whack! Whack!

The same buttock again, just that it's bigger now... LOL! It's En En and it's not mummy who whacked her but Ah Mah! We really can't understand her why she dislike or want something she just screams and cries out loud?? She's already 3 and able to speak like an adult (trust me, she is very good in talking) and yet she still wants to behave like a baby...

She is too pampered and spoil in the sense that she wants everything her way. Up till today she's not willing to borrow any of her toys for DiDi and dislike DiDi making noises and seriously jealous when, well especially Ah Mah sayang DiDi.

We were geram about her acts as she thought she can get everything she wants by throwing huge tantrum and screams her lungs out. Mummy got to be her translator as most of the time others are unable to understand what she's trying to say when she's crying. The terrible part is she will choose Ah Mah to do this or that for her but in a very unclear murmuring...

Mummy tries to intepret the cause of what she wants and how to make her stop when she really gets mad (scream and cry for 1 hour!) and found out most of the time it's the adults, us, didn't understand what message she was trying to deliver to us. In short, it's COMMUNICATION PROBLEM. We need to learn her way of communicating instead of asking her to do what we want her to do, right?

it is hard to be a good parent without whacking at times...

I am in the same situation too. Malaika is now at the screaming phase when things do go her way. I throw her in a room and of course she cried. She will stop screaming if she wants to get out of the room. So, that's working.

Same here. And, I find it's always grandma too. Hahaha.....

Just less tantrum on mummy. May be I understand her more. Or, just because I practice routine rigidity on her.

Like something I say no. It's always no. Whereas, her Ah Mah will depends on her own mood.

Just hope she can behave better soon. :P

Wah...classic signs when a new baby joins the family, I think? I must prepare for this!

Anyway, Lucas is getting really naughty now even before the baby is out :P

We have to really TRY to understand things from his point of view lor...not easy, I agree.

I am not sure, anyone in ur family tell En En before - if she naughty, not going to love her any more? Will love didi more?

Coz from start when i pregnant wt 2nd, i will say No to this kind of words. Evn to my grandma, i told her not to say that wt Jing.

Some more didi on breastfeed, more time for him. She is jeolous, coz she is bottle feed, right? and tat time u r working mum lagi leh.
