How a mom tamed her preschool toddlers in two weeks
The original plan
The original plan
It was supposed to be a foolproof formula: partners get married, dual-income, saved up for the first house, then kids; everything is supposed to be happily thereafter.
To many of us, it was a well thought-out plan: with more money, there comes security; then it would be time to have kids. Now, with a few more years of income saved, we can afford to hire extra help, be it domestic helpers or off-site babysitters. Some of us may even get the bonus of having the assistance from grandparents. Everyone was supposed to be better off. Here is our imagination of how it works: we think all the kids are being well taken care of, and we can go out and make more money. When we come home, they will rush to us and kiss us and the whole bit, simply because we are the parents and bring home the bread. Well, think again!!!
Many of you might have known by now, this is where we start losing our children. Yes, you heard me right. We got money and kids but we lost our precious little ones at the same time. Don't give up! There are hopes! I will show you how to become a toddler tamer in two weeks.
Our problems
With you away at work 5 days a week, how many hours do you spend with you kids? How often do you take care of their meals, from beginning to end? When was the last time you bathe them? Getting my point?
I and my husband have always been the envy of our friends - I work at home, have a domestic helper, grandparents live 5 minutes from our place, and are more than happy to take care of the two boys ALL THE TIME! Apparently, I get the best of both worlds as a working mom!
On weekdays, I would be working on my computer while the kids would either be playing by themselves near me; or they would be with the grandparents. They are When it came to chores, like feeding them, taking them to extra-curricular activities, or even to the park, I would rely on the domestic helper. I simply stayed close by to make sure things are fine and that the kids are safe. If I was busy, I would take care of my own stuff before taking care of them. Moreover, since my parents love to be with my boys so much, I would leave them to sleep over at grandparents' place quite often. It is usually on weekends that we would take them "back in our hands" and did the usual family thing.
These family weekends usually ended up in chaos - we would be screaming at them, threatening them, and they would end up crying, wanting to go back to grandma's place. No matter what we did to them or with them, everything was wrong. They did not like coming home with us - we had to sweet-talk them into coming home to sleep over. They did not like eating with us - we had to shout and threaten to make them take a bite. They would be screaming back at us and crying most of the time!
Our conclusion? They simply did not like us. As parents, we have failed - miserably. We have also realized that we cannot make our boys like us just because we are the parents. We have to earn their love and respect. Moreover, we need to tame our toddlers. We are determined to do it!
