Thank you all for all your comments and advice, it really helped and give me lots of new perspective. After a night of thinking and beating myself up, and lots of calls from my mother. I was able to pull myself together to start a new day. Indeed, this is the hardest job one could ever have. The hardest but the most rewarding.
I think I have to give you a little glimpse of the personality of my son. I wrote this on my blog when he was 4 years old and I was pregnant. He is really a sweet kid but “kulit” (mischievous).
No Worries
I was really feeling very bad the other morning. Morning sickness again, I was vomiting so hard that I felt my eyes are ready to pop out. My son came running to me and massages my back. A little later he asked me if I’m feeling a little better. And for his sake I said yes. I don’t want him to worry. He then runs out from my room. Curious I followed him. He went straight to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. I asked him what he wants. He answered, I need something cold. What for? The ant has bitten me and it really hurts. You always put something cold to stop it. I asked him, why did you not tell me right away so I can take care of it? And he said, Mama I don’t want to worry you.
I want to share also what my mother has told during all the phone calls that night. “Your son is still young; you have to have more patience. Do not always point his fault. Find the good things he does. Enjoy him while you can. Children grow so fast. You have to guide him not clash with him and FOR GOODNESS SAKE HE IS JUST 6 YEARS OLD! (Smack to my face!)
Well guys, thank you all again. To all who have more input please continue to post.
