At wits end

Jaden is not being himself today or is he? He has been misbehaving, crying at every opportunity.. don't want to be left alone in his cot, even with cartoon on. He just wants me to carry him or let him be free on the floor but since he is prone to knocking his head on the floor or any hard surface, the floor is off limits to him unless I sit and watch his back for him, which I can't do either all the time because I have got housework to do before I head back north this coming week.





He has woke up crying since 6am and has been on his worst behavior. I thought the last of it I would see coming from him was days after his birthday and now the monster in him is unleashed again. Is it because of teething again? Could it be?



Trying to be patient but sometimes his nonstop crying can drive a cow up the wall, so don't even mention me. Hubby and I got so frustrated that we left him in the cot, while sitting on the couch ignoring him. Of course the little boy did not let us off easy. He cried and cried and cried as if he got tortured and suddenly *s i le n c e*

What? Silence I say?
Yea! S I LE N C E

The little boy must have been so tired, he fell asleep while throwing tantrum and now, I am going to check any more housework to be done. If not, am going to wake him up now before he gets all freshened up and not want to sleep when our bedtime comes.

*sigh*

I am at my wits end already. Sometimes I feel like a failure not being able to understand what Jaden wants but sometimes I just feel like shutting off and telling him off that being such a demanding yeh-man boy won't get him anything he wants... Is it time I start harsh discipline on him? I am not as lenient as his father is tho. The father's mouth might be just loud and harsh but I have no mercy when it comes to whacking.. not proud of it but still, a boy needs a good whacking from time to time if he misbehaves, that is what I think.. if not he might just grow up to be a ruthless one.

I believe in the saying "spare the rod, spoil the child!"
Yes! I am old school in some ways...

*sigh* I pray his bad mood will be gone when tomorrow comes..
