Today I had to go to Mid Valley to collect my notebook from the service centre and had to bring along the kids and the maid. I already started my screaming session in the car as the girl wants to lie down straight and refused to share the space with the brother and of course the brother cannot take it la! He shouted at her and the the lil cili padi of course fought back. I have yet to locate my missing cane…the boy must have thrown it away!
Once I parked the car, the boy opened the door and came down with the sister and of course I screamed as I know he can’t handle her and the sotong (blur) maid is of course still inside the car! Screamed at her to hurry up and then screamed at Kieran…ayoooo..
Then the girl refused to hold hands..and I had to repeatedly threaten to throw her in the big dustbin..yes I’ve been using this to threat her whenever she’s not obeying..I’ve even stopped the moving car to show her how “serious my threat is”…
I had to stop over to buy a new pair of school shoes for Kieran as the “sotong” maid washed his last dry pair of shoes before the others were dry! So yesterday he had to go to school with his sneakers! I don’t know what he does in school but his shoes get dirty like black after 2 days! So he has 3 pairs of shoes, so if he changes every 2 days, the shoes should get dry BUT only if the maid washes the shoes immediately la! Of course she didn’t as she waits to be told what to do all the time! So when I notice the other 2 pairs were not washed, of course I scolded her…but there was this last pair…but before she washed the other 2 pairs…she washed the last pair the next day!!!!! You say bananas or not??? Then I asked her if she washed the last pair..what was Kieran going to wear and she was so freaking smart and gave me a smart ass answer and pointed at the sneakers and said this, “THERE!” in very loud & confident volume. Oh yes, I’ve not told u guys that she is very bold, she answers me “YES” very loud and in that very confident manner each time, same goes with “NO” etc etc…
Back to the school shoes buying process….I was choosing the shoes and then got the size turned around…
Me-Kieran try this…
Oi? Where is everyone??? All gone leow..the boy was dashing about and of course the girl wants to run after him but she can’t catch up of course! So she’s like tripping and falling down and all over the floor! I screamed of course! What was the maid doing? Dreaming in one corner la!
The walk towards the computer service centre was not smooth either..Kieran dashed off as usual and the same process repeated..kids run, crazy mom screaming…people staring..ayoooo
Me-So what’s wrong with my notebook?
IT guy-It’s a virus..
Kieran-Blog somemore la…(in the teasing tone..)
Wah this time I really blew it leow..
Me-Do you want me to slap you in front of everyone now? (my face all screwed up and gritting my teeth at the same time)
He really tested me to the max. I quickly dragged everyone out of the shop and put in RM1 of coins in one of those musical moving cars thingy to shut them up entertain them.
We quickly made our way back to the car park and along the way of course I had to scream a few times and the final straw was when Kylie laid down flat like sleeping on the floor while waiting for me to pay for the parking!! Fainted! I give up! I really cannot take the kids out together anymore..I think I will go mad and by standing people may report me to the authorities!

Teach you a trick…
I used to wash my school shoes on the 11th hour and placed them behind the fridge to dry. Guarantee will dry by next morning.
aiya the fridge so near the wall how to put the shoes there wor…
Wah your son dares to throw your cane away? When we were kids we never dared to touch the cane. So scary if our mother finds out. š”
Chill amah, kids will always be kids. Soon they’ll grow up and you’ll be missing those times you can shout at them (or maybe not?). Haha.
hmmm…miss these crazy moments? i don’t think so..
brought along kids = hurt your throat

i was stressed to the max alright!
Walaueh, if I were you I slap adi! Hahahahaha. I can almost “see” the smoke coming out of your head.
i so wanted to slap but in public so i controlled myself!!
i certainly know how stressed u were!! all the shouting n scolding n sometimes beating doesnt seem to work…n like u everyone will turn to stare, the bad mother! it definitely spoils the day n wht i do now is keep quiet n ignore my boy, the silent treatment until he behaves!! if he’s throwing tantrums…i’ll just let go of his hand n walk away(kena look out la a bit for him!) it works la, still!
actually i oso use the silent treatment plus the laser stare….works only for short term la…sigh…

HAHAHA. omg. it’s funny. sorry. but it’s funny. LOLs.
laugh la..hmmmph…
dear darling..sounds like the many episodes I face with my boys. i think it’s quite common esp with hyperactive children (speaking for myself!). you can’t keep them in the house, so you just need to find ways to keep up with them. I found it `compromising’ to take them to the toys department and then you can get your chance to do your own thing (hopefully). If need be, try to make little stops now and then to give them some space. It’s not fun going shopping with adults, looking at stuff (other than toys and books), so they will tend to make a fuss eg. run around, find trouble, beating up each other…etc. I know it doesn’t help employing a maid which is good for nothing when you initial reason for hiring one is to take care of the kids (assist you!!). Instead you end up getting all worked up because of the ADD look. Instead of taking care of the kids, she ends up either dreaming (not moving or dazed) or whatever you can imagine. I have my share of it with my maid too! Sometimes it’s even better to let them stay at home – since they are good for nothing and wasting time and energy walking in the shopping complex and come home looking dead tired and can’t work. Try turn taking. It works with my little one. As for the bigger one, maybe you can let him play at the indoor kids place while you do your shopping. Picking up stuff, no need la…just keep it short and sweet. As for fighting, it will be a continous journey of tug of war…you and the kids. š Cart along some toys to keep both occupied. Throw a doll for Kylie and a car for Kieren and for the maid – save the cane for her…LOL. Joking………..just remind your kids to wake her up! FYI mine sleeps in the car even for a ride to Midvalley which is only 15 minutes. So there…..what is there to say about taking care of your kids in the car? Who takes care of who? The yelling and chasing the kids in shopping mall….just remember to be thicked skinned. After a while you don’t feel embarassed anymore..because you just learn to cope with the situation. Nothing much you can do about that.
leave the maid at home????? u must b kidding…she’ll be sleeping on my bed with the air con on!
I also use that ‘dustbin’ threat! It works but dono for how long lar…. š¦
Aiyoh, I really scare to have such situation one day… screaming all over the place… *sigh* it is tough to be a mommy hor?
really maximum tough & i really feel it nowadays…so tired la…
