As a parent, we responsible to set a good example to the kids. They look upon us as their mentor .We has to mind our language and watch out our actions. Kids at a tender age tend to pick up things fast and they innocently repeat what we said or do. I have a daughter who reached the stage to choose her own clothes, accessories, socks and shoes and dressed by herself. She will dutifully go to the toilet and brushes her teeth. She’s like a surveillance monitor accompanied with countless of questions. She didn’t disturb me when I put on make up or nail polish, instead she said,"mama, when I grow up I can wear, right..." She will change her school bag almost every day and up to day she own 5 and she’s particular on coordination. I almost burst out laughing when she said,"I’m pretty!" Now that she is diaper free, the next target will be bottle free! The boy is in fact following every single of his sister’s moves. It does amuse me when he listens to her instructions. I must say he is the test of my tolerance level. The fact is he is the one who receives the most scolding from me! His speech has improved tremendously and he speaks well now. He is such a typical boy with his activeness and passion for soccer. He is able answer when asked what is his name and age. That include, he has learn to pronounce the mother, father, sister and brothers names. I must mention that he has liking for horror movies. and full of imagination. I communicate with the girl by facts whereas for the boy is more on fictions! This is because that is the way for me to tame him but the girl is very much interested in real happening. The twins have started to socialize with their sister and brother and it melts my heart seeing them together. It tickles me watching the twins walking around and their baby languages filling up the house. Kids are the joy of our life. They keep our life up and running.
I’m not perfect. I do make mistake. I am a mother of 4 but I am still in the learning process. Every child is different and everyday is a new experience for me. I strive for the best for my kids even though I know at times I exert myself. I want the kids to grow in front of my eyes so that I accountable if anything happen. I admit that it’s a difficult to juggle the role of a mother, wife, daughter and employee. But my greatest challenge is giving the fair share of attention and care to each of the 4 kids. I seriously grateful to my partner for his support despite his irregular working hours and in fact I learn a lot from him in handling of the kids. Of course, our parents and parents in law for being accommodating and without them, we will be lost! Thank you, Allah, for your guidance!
