my mom is like a 劳气(lo hei) mom

i went mktg with my mom.

her 2 grandkids were with us, nana and lucas.

nana, as usual, is an obedient girl who walks and eats, as it deems fit.

but looking at how mom tends to lucas, i really pity her. very lo hei, as the cantonese put it, wasting lots of breath to teach the child.

i guess boys being boys, they are more active, make more requests and doing things in their own ways. mom is getting old, so with so many things up her mind as a caretaker at home, she's losing patience. i would hv too, if i were in his shoes.

while feeding lucas, i was shocked to see him being a fussy eater like the jiejie. he rejected the minced meat strung onto his noodles and would shake his head forcefully, if he refused to eat or do something. dad of coz, would just enjoy his food, not lifting any fingers to help.

mom is the pitiful soul, to take care of the young ones, complete her grocery purchase, rushed home to unpack the stuff and getting ready for other chores.

when we got home, it was time to pick trisha. i suggested letting claire and nana to perform the pickup role. guess what? mom said,"不放心，车很多，还是我去比较好！“

”叫老爸去啦！“i continued. well, dad just reclined to his usual comfy self, lying on bed and reading his papers.

i wonder if it hurts his heart to see his wife, who has slogged all these yrs, to hv no rest for herself. well, maybe, mom has really pampered dad so much and for so many years, that he's immuned to her 'suffering and fatigue'...well, 不懂得珍惜眼前人，总有一天会心痛。老爸，清醒吧！

as for mom, we continue to pray for her good health. i can really see her temper getting short with so many kids at home, and this is only the start of holiday season. hope the kids will remain good and appreciate her love.
