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.
