Best efforts wasted
Despite my very bestest efforts in doing the best for my kids, this happens.
I very very very kek-sum la. You know how MANY years I have been shouting at them to "SIT BACK" whenever they watch TV?
You know how MANY litres of saliva I wasted shouting at them?
I sometimes wonder WHY I bother?
I just hope that this was not a direct result of spending too much time watching TV watching the TV too near. I hope it’s just a genetic thing…at least, I can say it was unavoidable! If they were spending too much time watching TV, then it’s really MY fault, isn’t it? How come this mother adopted this kind of babysitter?
Do you know how frustrated I am because I know that he WILL lose his glasses..and I WILL get very annoyed because we have to buy NEW ones..which costs an arm, leg, neck and nose! So damn bloody expensive man!
I give up la……..I should really save all my saliva and voice and not shout at them anymore. Not shout, "DON’T TOUCH!". Not shout, "FINISH YOUR DINNER NOW!". Not shout, "CLEAN UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Then again, how NOT to? Then I’m not really a mother anymore…I’m just a maid! WAKAKAKAKAAKAKAKAKAAK!
Don’t be dishearten. The result of wearing glasses might not be your fault and might not be because of TV. Perhaps genetic? (anyone at home wearing glasses??) When I was young, I don’t watch TV, but I ended up short sighted also.

I am beginning to feel like I am a broken tape recorder with all the many reminders I give them. I remember I used to think it is so cool to wear glasses.

mott,
If you don’t do all this, like you said, you’re not their mother anymore. Will you do this to a stranger? No right? Because they’re not related to you. A mother will always care for their children, that’s for sure.

IF it makes you feel any better… I am also like a broken tape recorder which NO one pays attention too.
Your No. 1 I supposed? Mine is S2. S1’s sight still okay. I saw a optometrist in Tun Hussein Onn hospital…he said wearing glasses is partly hereditery if parents also wearing.
