kids' independence

when claire and i left mom's home at 9.35 pm, n&n sisters also planned to leave.

i queried,"u 2 going back on ur own?"

they answered,"ya, mommy will be back only at 11 plus!"

wow, i thought they were really independent to stay around on their own.

actually, i was relating to mom how much effort is needed to teach a kid the right values. sometimes, our breath can just be wasted and washed down the drain.

in my opinion, it's so impt for the parents, esp the mother who's always the daughters' figurehead role at home, to accompany the kids in the growing up years. else, where and how else would the bond be created?

white also shared that trisha always wishes for the mommy to pick her up from sch. her smile would beam broadly, everytime her dream was fulfilled.


that brought me back to the question with claire, reminding her how fortunate and blessed a child she is. having companionship of parents and joy jie jie with her all the times. we always plan things for her to do and even tell her to invite friends, if required. but, she's not someone who just goes out with any friends! unlike joy, having friends from all walks of lives!

so, at this stage, it's always playing with cousins, from both paternal and maternal side.

in fact, claire will be attending her 4day3nite camp in coming week. joy, who's done with her exams, asked for permission to bring her out today. just to spend time together, since she thot she's gonna miss claire!

mind u, i'm excluded from this whole outing! aye, when kids grow up, they need their own space too! well, maybe i should just have 二人世界with the other half, provided his eyes are not glued to the electronic gadget racing into the virtual land!

  1. Ya, N&N are always going back on their own at night. Wonder why their mother is not worried about their safety. So if we are leaving mum's plc too, will walk them back to the lift. On comparison, u r right that Claire is a luckier gal to be so close to mommy and Jie-Jie.
