Irin, your R very funny from what we read, esp the 'cover the blanket' part... but i can understand you must have been fuming. sigh, i think we 'owe' our kids in our last life, at least for me, that's why we're 'paying back' with all this stress!! last nite, yangyang did it again, cranky from evening... took me 45 mins to put him to bed, even after massage (bot this 'calming' massage oil thought it will work), he kept talking, one minute, 'mama, read storybook', one minute 'mama, computer zai.4 wai.4 mian.4, yangyang yao.4 qu.4 na.2', another minute, 'mama, yangyang yao.4 bearbear blanket, zai.4 bag li.3 mian.4'.... qi.4 si.3 wo.3 le.4!!! stressed cos i was supp to pump already, this boy taking up all my time!! urgh.
finally he fell asleep, then as i pump halfway, woke up crying for me again... had to put him back to sleep... mommy cried and cried.... i can't take it sometimes, the boy is just too high-maintenance..
then at 6am, he tossed and turn again, i just had to wake up to pump, he followed me to the kitchen, saw biscuits, want biscuits. Nevermind, i thought, just give him what he wants and he wont bother me...
we sat on the couch - i pump, he eat... then he asked for rice biscuits. i said the box is on the chair on the kitchen, go take yourself. He went... then the silly boy locked himself in with the safety gate (he can open from the living room - Even if locked! - but can't open from the kitchen... sigh). I came to help (with funnel stuck to the breasts!!) but by then he was already crying and cranky on the floor.
Finally pacified. eating in the living room again. i opened the rice biscuit for him... CAREFULLY SO THAT IT DOESN'T BREAK!... gave him, he took, but accidentally broke it - exploded again!! He was so angry with himself, he broke the rest into small pieces... then he stuffed some into his mouth angrily, then spit out on the floor angrily...
then he changed his mind, sat on the floor crying, wanting to eat what he has just spitted out (softened rice biscuits). i said dirty cannot eat, he continued to cryyyyy.... Mommy cannot take it anymore, picked up the yucky stuff and put into this mouth... stopped crying for a while...
THEN said he wanted the rest on the floor... which was too far for mommy to reach cos i still had the pump attached to my breasts!! sigh, cant stand it anymore. Shouted for my mum to come out to help. Grandma came out managed to calm him down.
by now it's 7am. baby also woke up liao. whole family woke up liao... Gor gor ok by now.... time to wash up and get ready for work and school. - ANOTHER DAY -
urgh. do all parents get this? or only parents with spirited kids? sigh - they bring you joy, but also bring you to tears.
