Yesterday at home, i had visitors over, relatives, who had their 2 year old son with them. I took me strength to retrain myself from calling him "conan the destroyer". He stormed into my bedroom, saw me eating in bed went and got his mom and told her he was hungry, without even saying good morning to me. I was astonished when his mother got his cereal out and started feeding him in my room from my bed to the floor and ended messing my floor up. I finally whisked them both out of my bedroom and settled in to have a hot bath. When i was done i got into a comfortable dress and went out to entertain my guest.
While in the kitchen preparing something for them to eat, the lovely lil boy kept screaming at the top of his voice until my young one woke up with a start wondering where she was. When she realized another lil child was around she was excited and came to share her toys with the boy. The wonderful won't share he wanted all to himself, i noticed this and i took all the toys my baby was offering and put it back into her court. I went back to my kitchen and my daughter followed me, i hear her crying and i was surprised only to notice that the boy had hit her. I WANTED TO HIT HIM HARD, but instead i cuddled my baby and warned him not to hit her again. I continued on my task and heard her crying again this time i was furious and i would have hit this child with my heel, instead i held my baby and asked her nanny to carry her and not put her foot on the ground till this boy lives.
The rest of the day i watched the boy disobey his mother, get his way and throw tantrums unnnecessarily. My, my lil one and the rest of the family watched and couldnt believe it. His mother talked harshly to him he screamed back at her, my house just went up in noise and that annoyed me. I was glad when they said they where leaving and happily saw them to the door.
I am not judging this parent because i am also new at the parenting thing. In all my months of being a parent, this is the first time i am coming across a bully and i was sad for the kid and his mother. Now what i want to say in all this is simple; whatever i do and my child see's she copies. However i train her, she is only going to imbibe exactly wht she sees her loved ones doing, so this is a warning to be careful what you do when the lil eye is watching.
My young gets on her knees to say her prayer ( which i dont understand) with a loud Amen to follow, she called me "Baby" instead of mummy because amongst all my pet name she understood that one. She dances often because Grand ma and Aunty C love dancing. She acts out everything she has learnt...
We all must learn to Teach the child, and Love the child.
