This is the second blog I created today. I have always wanted to share my thoughts, especially with my children.
The title itself has been an issue of controversy. Wan, who will soon be 12 (going on 20) suggested "Memoirs of a Nagging Mean Mom". To take it in a positive note, I suppose it does officially prove that I do qualify as a Mean Mom.
I am sure many will agree that being a mother of daughter(s) is not an easy task. Well, imagine being a mom of five daughters (0 sons). Apart from the usual trials and tribulations of "parenting", the constant fears about whether the right thing had been done has added to the grey hair.
It was a pleasant surprise to open my car boot today and find a belated Mother's day bag and home made card from Yi Lin. After countless arguments and mini dramas, I do count my blessings that she doesn't bear grudges. I hope she knows it is because I know her potential that I am often particularly hard on her.
Jean has been worrying about which course papers to sign up for the last few weeks. After numerous discussions, we are still leaving the final decision to her, and hope that she knows we are behind her all the way, whatever she decides.
Chien skipped school today because of the rash she developed on her face since Friday. It is back to exam time tomorrow.
It is time to go down and break up the congkak party downstairs, because Khing has her music lesson in a short while. Just thinking about checking that their homework is completed, school bags arranged, revision for tomorrow's exams done, etc., is intimidating.
I can imagine going after Wan with "Hey, come back here! I have not finished nagging yet!"
