Basically, I have been arguing with my wife about things. Yes, its an unusual thing for married couple to communicate. From things just for fun to serious parenting issues, we talk. Being a couple is about going through changes together. I do not pretend that its all about being reasonable, coz I am definitely not a reasonable person when I get pissed…and unfortunately, I get pissed with people close to me more quickly than not. So too bad, my darling.
Disciplining the kid is a tough thing to do. I dun want him to hate me, but I really see no choice since he is so freaking cute that he gets away with so many things. He can be so cute when he is bordering between tears and controlling himself. Its inevitable that my boy will decide not to listen to us at some point when we bring him out. I decided that I will show some disapproval at that instance but not so much as to scolding him in public. When we reach home, I will talk to him about what he has done wrong. In the worst case scenario, I will give him a time out as punishment. I really do not want to start physical discipline if I can possibly avoid it. One thing that puzzled me is how my mother can maintain the anger that she had when she was disciplining me as a kid.
