She is such a darling when she is nice and response to my request such as eating her medicine, spray her nose, quiet down to do things. And when her devil horns is out, cant help but feeling frustrated and my loudhailer also come out.
Charlotte is down with bronchitis again! Yes, 3rd time of the year. Decided to change another PD and this PD does not believe in using home neuberliser so Charlotte was given the neuberliser in the clinic and a bag of medicine... Going back for review this week. Doc say her bronchitis is due to sensitive airway and perhaps some inheritance... I have been reading up and trying to see how others deal with kids bronchitis... almost every mother I spoke to have some experience here and there... I am concern that it will become asthma... But how to prevent bronchitis? I tried to let her see Chinese doc when she was better a few weeks back... but the Chinese medication to "tio li" is taking too slow as compare to the attack of the bronchitis.... before the "tiao li" can be done, the coughing get worse and she is back on "ang mo" medicine again. These visit to the PD is damn "siong" on the wallet too... Have tried to search for good GP who can also treat bronchitis. Even though Charlotte has seen 2 diff PD, I would say both give different medication and they believe in diff treatment. So far, the current one she is seeing, though a bit more x... but the medication seems better... (dun think the type is stronger, but the name are different).
She is on medication all the time and sometimes she would just take her medicine and like this morning she just "chu" pattern and refuse to take her medicine. "Nuai" on the floor upon waking up. I wonder if she is seeking attention or simply trying to naughty... She can be very stubborn at times and defiant. The more you ask her not to do, the more she will challenge u and show u that she will do it.... Sometimes I just give up and tell her to do all she wants... Upon seeing no reaction from us, she naturally will do something else.
I wonder what has all the milk powder and education is doing to our next generation... at the small age of 2, I think they completely know what our reaction means but I think sometime they thought we just scold for fun.... Just like this morning when she refuse to spray her nose, and she was screaming, I was telling her not to scream cos she would vomit... Just as I was saying, she vomited over her uniform. I was so angry and gave her a slap on the thigh... following is a chain of scolding... She would stand there to listen to my scolding and dare not cry... But the next minute she was smiling to her father... and demand I push her stroller. I told her "I dun want and Mummy is very angry with you... follow by a chain of why I am angry"... I wonder if she understood why I am so pissed... Tonight I am going to make her clean the floor that she has vomited over...
The other thing I feel is the education system... with all the kiasu and kiasi parents, teachers dare not educate the kids... which I think could be one of the reason why the kids think they are king and queen. When they did something wrong, I dun think the teacher will punish them... dun think they even scold them... and if the parents also do not bear to "educate", then all these little kids become 小霸王.
One incident that happen at the pd clinic, Charlotte was standing at the cooking toy set, this little boy (a bit older than her) was playing with the toy oven. He closed the door and put his hands on the door then turn to Charlotte and say "U cannot touch this"... then Charlotte just stand there and see... as she move away to touch other parts of the toy like the sink and door cover... the boy would also touch and kinda push her hands away. I stood there and see how the kids would react... Then the boy wanted to move away to play other toy, he did not forget about the oven... he saw that Charlotte is going to touch it, he came back again to press on the door and told Charlotte " U cannot touch"... after that he went into the doc room. Charlotte wanted to open the oven but she dare not. She look at me and wanted to cry. I immediately step in to tell her, if you want to play, you tell "gor gor" "I want to play"... I think she is such a timid girl when faced with bigger kids. But at home and playing with her peers, she is quite possessive and aggressive.
Perhaps due to her 见风转动, she is quite a "darling" in school... as in some of the teachers like her and like to "disturb" her and she has this group of Jie Jie who are constantly taking care of her... I find it quite amazing cos she is not really the friendly kind... hahahah But in her school there are these bigger kids in K2, at 1st I thought 2 of them cos I have seen them b4 leading Charlotte hand into the class when they saw her at the door... But yesterday Nick brought Charlotte to pasa malang and bump into one of the jie jie, then the mother of that jie jie told Nick that the jie jie is going primary 1 next yr and another jie jie is no longer attending school but still come back for extra lesson... And there is still another jie jie in school who take good care of Charlotte... hahahahha .... I ask Nick why these jie jie like her so much... Nick say maybe they find her cute.... I know in school, the Chinese teachers like her also... cos she dun really like to response (talk) to the teacher but when she is in good mood she talk a lot, and when 1 precious word come out of her mouth, it will send the teachers going excited...hahhahah... I feel the kid have their own 缘分 with other kids and adults... sometimes it just come naturally. I have seen how one of the jie jie really dote on her like her sister... cant help but feel that its their 缘分.
