We had wanted to bring Aidan back home more often now that he is no longer a sleeping baby. Now is when the fun begins. Now is also the more intense bonding time. As always, he prefered his 'babysitter' Ma Ma more than me. He has many, many times pushed me away in preference to his Ma Ma.... i felt a twinge of hurt every now and then..... i had hope to be the person my son looks for, at night or when he is despair, but if i continue to let him stay at babysitter's 24 x 7, it's not gonna happen. In exchange for our freedom now, we may face to 'lose' a son in future... so serious?? Think so... the bonding...
Last weekend, we brought him back for trial... Well, it went ok la... Both my hubby and I never get to rest. And I was like rushing here and there - cleaning, mopping, washing, cooking, hanging and folding, feeding do-re-mi, phew..... Not a while is free-and-easy. I actually went out dinner last night without combing my hair. Just manage to run my fingers through my hair while looking at the car window. incredible!!
Aidan now can walk with us holding his hand. Yesterday, he can even manage a few steps without help. In the babycot, he can climb out.
Being a 'hard-headed cow' boy, with 2 round 圈 on his head, he has a real temper to match. When he wanted something, he will use all his energy, and all his voice, to get it! When he doesn't want something, no 'sweet talk' can make him take it. Cannot soft, use hard way? Worse, he is harder!
Many times, felt that Brian is such a nice a boy to teach and discipline. Brian can be reluctant to do something and cried, but he will still do what we wanted him to do - almost obediently..... He can be reluctant to go to school (Krista, last time) yet he can still be crying and walking towards the car, and into the car, without adult intervention! and asked "why do i have to go to school?" in between sobs.
With Aidan, guess he will not follow an inch of our instruction....
well, i hope and i pray that with divine's intervention, this son will be 'tamed' soon.
Your son and my youngest son are quite similar. My son also will use all his energy, and all his voice to get the thing he wants. One thing is different that my son don't have 2 round on his head but he still has a bad temper.
