Whose?
Mine!!!!
I am soooooooooooooooooooooo mad that I have to vent somewhere.
I was "ngam-ngam-chamm-chamm" and H kept saying why early in the morning like that.
BUT how can I not?
Let me tell you why I am soooooooooooo mad. Well, today is the School's Christmas Concert, which S2 will be playing his flute in the Primary School Orchestra. There would be FULL rehearsal after school right till the concert start at 6.30 pm.
So last evening, I told S2 to keep his things in his bag so that he won't forget anything.
Said so again later...and specifically to put his FLUTE in his bag. Then I asked if he had his attire for the occasion, and asked if everything was in order.
This morning, again, I reminded him to have everything together.
And guess what? At 8 am just now, I got a call.
It was S2. Asking me to tell the driver to bring his FLUTE!!!!
You say lah. ANGRY or not???
If the concert is not today, I will just let it be. But now...I have to organise for the driver to bring the flute all the way to him. And the journey is not exactly down the road!!
I tell you...I have such irresponsible kids that it is beyond belief! Can't trust them to do anything right for themselves. Don't even let me start on my S1. Another irresponsible bugger....with no care for anything at all. I bought him a pair of glasses which costs about USD 150/- about a month back, and he comes back 3 weeks later, beating around the bush for 3 days, then told me that he lost his glasses. How lah! Not to mention the lost mobile phone, gameboy and what-nots!
It's not that I don't make them pay for lost things. I do deduct money from their allowance/birthday money...but that doesn't seem to do any justice. It seems like everything I say just falls on deaf ears.
What about wasted food?
Uneaten food in their lunch boxes is a norm. And what can be done other than disposing the food when they come home in the late afternoon? It'll be too yucky to even give to the maid.
And there's the yogurt and such that they love to bring to their rooms, and then not eat it, and I'll find the tubs the next day. How to eat them again? Have to throw, right? And mind you, these are not cheap yogurt either. I've seen S1 done this soooooooooooooo many times. I am just so fed-up.
I really have tearing my hair out. Nagging and sitting them down nicely is not working,
Just soooooooooooooooooooooo fed-up.

breath in breath out x 100! sigh, hang in there, growing up boys...
I feel for you. Don't give lunch la.
Lock up the fridge. No more yogurt for them.
Don't deliver the flute. Let him learn the hard way.
harsh hor? What to do? U've done all the nagging already. Looks like the only way is to not do things for them.
Well..these are the things I'd do. HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH.....I'm very bad one.
Actually I agree whole-heartedly with Mott. Let them learn the hard way.
i'd have left him without the flute!
Irene - Headache....
Mott - Normally, I wouldn't have bothered about sending him the flute. But it was the concert, which we want to attend. So how like that?
Bryan and Brandon's Mama - Like I said, normally, I wouldn't have bothered. I would just let him get scolding from the teacher. But then, International School, where got really scold one?? Think their reprimand is sooooo mild that it is 100x less than mine lah.
Wawa - Concert wor...
i know how u feel. let them learn the hard way - its difficult as a mother i would say. my kids are like that too .. wasteful when it comes to food. and sometimes .. not too responsible with their own things .. i nagged them all the time so that the info will sink into their brains someday!
Twins - Nagging doesn't seem to work lor...
