Terrible TWO

I am facing it right now with my daughter… it is quite difficult to handle zati right now. She can scream her lung out if we fail to entertain her requests and most of the time her requests are not supposed to be entertained, so that makes the scream even louder.

It really tested my patience till maximum level. Like what happened last Sunday at KLCC. Mind you, it was in KLCC okeh, not at home… we were quite early that day because I wanted to go to Home Deco, I have 2 things in mind that I wanted to but and have surveyed it earlier on. So, by 10.15am, we have left Puchong headed to KLCC. I asked my hubby to parked at KLCC since I wanted to withdraw some cash. So, we passed by the Maybank and hubby brought them to Toy r Us while I went to the machine. Nothing happen yet, everything was ok despite they got nothing from there. Then we made our way through Maybank to go via tunnel. Then, zati saw this coin ride where it can turn around like merry go round and requested that she wanted to ride it. Ok fine. I gave in, put a dollar and she rode it. After few seconds it stopped and I said to her, we have to make a move. The scene started right then. She screamed saying that she wanted another ride and I know if I ever gave in, there will forever. I tried pujuk her but to no available. Hubby did as well.. so, I just hold her and tried to nego with her, telling her that I will give her another ride when we finished our business in KL Convec. All the way in the tunnel she has started a little bit of screaming but still tolerable. On we stepped in front of KL Convec, the situation getting worse. Lucky that abang was behaving very very well. I took zati outside to the park, at the jogging track. She was screaming and screaming and I tell u, it was very embarrassing. Everybody was actually looking at me. Lucky at that time, which was still early the number of crowd were ok. I tried to slow talked with her, but she still adamant to go and take the ride again. Hubby was in the building and I was sweating like mad till I felt like crying. She has turned red actually and it lasted for a good 20-25 min. can u imagine that.. for nearly ½ hour… goshhhhh…. To be frank, I actually lost my patience and I did smack her to my dismay. What to do, cannot tolerate anymore.

Hubby came, we tried to pujuk again and last, we ended up bring her back to the ride all the way back to KLCC. Double gosh…. After another ride, I told her no more ride, we have to go and change money. Alhamdulillah, she was ok and she said she wanted to tell the pak guard not to give anyone ride on it because it’s hers… OMG.. it was so cute that I wanted to laugh and deeply I even regret that I lost my patience.

She was all ok all the way and I got the chance to buy my things at Home Deco. I was already lost my mood, not only me but my hubby as well. But of course with the kids, we can easily gain it back. Zati was very talkative and independent. She likes to make scene but she can get it back at no time. Sometimes, I just wonder what is the best way to bring up a child. I don’t know whether my way is a good one or there are some other ways that are far better. Its like a trial and error things. But I know I love both abang and adik very very much.

To adik, please don’t test mama’s patient like this and please forgive me for the losing it so easily…..
