My little girl Rhaine, undergone stye removal last August due to multiple stye on both her eyes. I don't know where she got it. I am concern because it looks like she is having another one again on her left eye. I don't want her to have another operation. Actually due to this every time she hears the word doctor she would refer to her eyes. I've read online that a warm compress on the eye is a good remedy but at her age I don't know how will I do it. We might visit a different doctor since I got disappointed with the professional fee before that was not covered with our Maxicare... (another story). Do you think it would be better to visit our pedia first or we just go to an opta? We might bring her to the doctor anytime this week.
I was sleeping when all of a sudden my little boy, David, who is 6 years old, come to me with tears in his eyes. At first I thought he had a fight with his dad again. I asked him why and his answer surprised me. Media really can corrupt young mind. He told me he doesn't want to die. He is crying because he remembered what he saw in television when he was 5 years old. Its about an old guy who die. I don't know if its from a telenovela, commercial or something. He asked me if he became a grandfather... will I still be there? Who will take care of him? I told him all of us will die.. some are young and some are old. I advised him to eat healthy food (specially vegetables) to be healthy and not to be sick which can cause death. I told him his kids will take care of him when he grows old. He asked then how can I have a kid? When you get married you will have kids of your own, thats what I said. Well, another surprising answer from him. I don't want to get married, and I said why? He said he is shy to kiss someone, I then remember seeing him hiding when he sees a kissing scene in a movie or a tv show. No matter how much I want can be there to control what he needs to see or watch in some cases it just happens when you are watching something.
I am concern on about my kid. Based on my assessment on how he reacts on things... he is very weak emotionally. He cries easily... very dependent... doesn't want to be left alone. I guess it has something to do with our conflicting way of how to discipline him. My husband is quite hot tempered and would easily shout, say bad words and punished him at a very little mistakes. Most of the time, I come as his savior and when I do that his dad would get mad at me for contradicting him. I am doing that because I don't agree with how he punish the kid for just a very little things. I know I am wrong for interrupting and I should talk to him when my kids is away but he really cannot control his temper. Anyway my worry now is how to make my little boy stronger emotionally. I want him to be strong and not to become very dependent to us. I don't know how to do this with my husband since we have different views on how to build him up. He wants my son to be afraid of him.... afraid in a way by just a single word the kid would follow. To me it sounds like too much, I think that would make the kid rebellious in the future. I guess I need to talk to my husband and we should come up with a solution that we can agree together.
November 3, 2011, David is back to school after about two weeks of sem-break. He spend most of his time with mamu's (lola) house. Good thing it is also his cousin Joshua's sem-break so he has playmate there. He spend most of time playing toys, watching cartoons, playing nintendo DS and playing pool. I did not force him to review even though they will have a very long exam on November 7 which will be move to November 8 due to holiday. According to his diary he needs to review everything from 1st grading up to 2nd grading... wew. I think of all the subjects that they have the difficult one will be Sibika... lots of memorization about the Philippines. They will have classes until Saturday so I am planning to review him this coming Sunday and Monday. That is the way I review as well when I go to school. I would not call it cramming but its just that its easy to recall things that you just studied. I hope he will get good grades just like before. I don't feel this kind of pressure when I was kinder... my son is in prep and have this kind of exams already.. wew! Two weeks after this they have their monthly exam for their 3rd grading period.
