When i was on the way to becoming a mom i geared up in the way i knew the best...read up...and read up i did..i also ushered the age of reality shows in my life...so i saw real life birthing videos and soon became a big fan of super nanny ( in case u dont know abut this show just take a wild guess)...then after little K was born i read on new borns...for every sneeze i would rush for a comforting book...i am sure i was sniggered at by all the oldies around me...now that K is a toddler i find i have no books to help... and time and again all those experts opinions are thrown out of the window by my little fire brand ...
i am often told by maama ' lower down ur tone" and the next time, i hear the perfectly calm father losing his cool at K...
why cant i do things like super nanny or the as the books say ' explain calmly and patiently no matter how loudly ur kid is crying...' i am sure those experts have never really tried it and
i am often found yelling like a banshee
i have a snide voice telling me in my head i sound just like my mom...well she had read no books on child raising and was all hands and screams..i had vowed to do it differently...hah!!
Conclusion: toddlers can make any normal person pop a vein and books can get you only this far...so just scream away anyway they arent listening!! and do continue reading those books ...even if it is just for fun!!
