<font color="0000ff">Encounter at Playgound</font>
abt 2 wks ago, brought shanice to a playgound near my mum's place that has swings. as it has only 2 swings, we have to Q up. after waiting for abt 10-15 mins, shanice has the chance to sit on the swing.
after abt 5 mins, an indian mummy with her 2 kids came along and waited at the side of the swing for shanice to come down. the boy, who's younger than shanice, was whining and crying (with NO tears) and wants to sit on the swing. after waiting for abt 2-3 mins, the mummy got "frustrated", ask shanice to "come down. enough, come down". and even allow her son to beat shanice.
meanwhile, i was trying to ask shanice to come down, in mandarin, but shanice doesn't want to, so i don't force her. somemore, the mummy was so rude, all the more i didn't want to force shanice to give way.
part of the conversation goes,
indian mummy: this is for public, not for you alone
me : yes, so you have to Q up. we also Q-ed for a while before she has a chance to sit
indian mummy: you sit so long alr, enough, my son wants to sit
me (frustrated alr cos she didn't scold her son when he hits shanice) : why should i sacrifice my child to satisfy your son? and you can even allow ur son to hit people, what kind of behaviour is that?
indian mummy : good behaviour!
when shanice still didn't come down, the mummy stop the swing, hold on to it and told shanice to "come down, or i kick you". and shanice said "no". i kept quiet (cos i was very frustrated already), and watch the lady asked shanice to come down 3x and shanice told her "no" 3x and i couldn't control myself and burst out laughing. cos i find it hilarious. imagine the conversation between an adult standing, holding 1 side of the swing, looking down at the toddler who's sitting on the swing, looking up at the adult and saying "no" forcefully for 3x, hahahhahaa...
at this point, the son smack shanice on the shoulder (too fast, i not sure if it hits shanice's face) and this time round, shanice smacks his face back and i couldn't control but burst out "good girl"
but when she wanna hit him again, i stopped her lah.
all this while i have been trying to get shanice down the swing cos going to meet my family at the hawker centre nearby but shanice just refuse to budge. and since the mummy was so rude, i juz couldn't be bothered to let her know i'm trying to get shanice off the swing. if she's been polite, i'll hv tried harder to get shanice down.
finally after a minute, they left, and the elder girl walked past behind me, and i felt some "water" near my feet. after a long while then i realise it might hv been the girl's saliva!!! my, some kind of upbringing they have.
hopefully i won't bump into that mummy again the next time i bring shanice to that playground. just our luck. it's only the 2nd time i brot shanice there (the 1st time was like 1-1.5 mths before the 2nd time) and got into argument with someone. then hor, i was actually shivering leh, cos i nvr quarrel with strangers!
). Faye had some seperation anxiety too after a week or two. I guess it will take some time for YX to grow to accept and love sch as part of her daily life. Meanwhile, dont feel too bad, since she loved it till now, it prob only means that she does like sch, except that she hated to part with you. For Faye, it helped alot that after before sch, I keep reinforcing in a cheerful and happy tone all the lovely stuff she will get to do and how I will *always* and definitely pick her up once school ends and so on, it helps her to visualise the end of the sch and how she gets to see me in the end (cause sometimes mentally they are stuck with the parting image and nothing else comes into that mental picture). But I am guessing that u are prob oredi doing all these liao heh. Anyway, dont feel too down abt it
