Mama Bear’s Adventures

I feel that there will be more issues to come, kaya part 1 muna.

The downside of being a stay at home mom: Maybe one of the biggest downside is becoming my kids’ "favorite". It breaks my hear when at times neither of them wants to be with papa. It’s more heartbreaking when they fight because they want to be with me. Natalie, is very possessive, she wants to be the only one on my lap. But here is kuya saying, "mama ako naman". Ami will do everything to keep her brother away, kicking, slapping, pinching, even biting. Karl will of course retaliate. I tend to favor the little one, because like I said, she is small, more fragile. But I feel sad for Karl, he feels left out. I would tell him to go to his papa, but he doesn’t want to. It breaks my heart even more, to see papa being rejected by Karl.

It actually is a normal situation. Kids really favor the parent who are with them most of the time. The other parent just needs to keep on trying to reach out, and the other one should help bridge the gap.

Anyway, kaysa naman maging maka yaya/lolo/lola… etc.

Sa wakas naka kuha na rin ako ng oras para makapag update nitong blog ko. Anyways…

As expected of any toddler, Karl has been asking lots of questions. He lately, got interested in traffic signs, sobra! Lahat na lang ng signs sa kalsada e tinanong kung ano ang ibig sabihin at bakit ganun. Like, "mama ano yung may P na may ganun(slash)", sagot naman ako, no parking. "E bakit po no parking doon?" Sagot ko masikip ang kalsada. "E bakit masikip ang kalsada?" Uhmmm??? Kasi madaming buildings. "E bakit madaming buildings?" Nauubusan na po ako ng sagot… Tapos biglang may nakita iba, "e bakit po may naka park sa no parking?" Hala!

Example lang yan ng chain of questions ni Karl. Isang traffic sign pa lang yan. Immagine na lang ang isang byahe.
