PAMPERS JULY 2010

Carmel, thanks for such kind words.
i am still feeling so terrible though.
but thanks once again, u have made me smile

Dear Ashbabe. Don't fret. We all make such mistakes with raising our children - as long as we learn from them.

I have also been too harsh on my children and then feel rotten about it no matter how much I apologise. But they are such wonderful angels and because they love us [just as we do them] they forgive us.

I just feel that the teacher should have picked up that you were already upset by the episode and she should not have made you feel worse - that's what they are trained to do - guide parents without making them feel so awful.

Just remember: God chose YOU to be Chloe's mother - God doesn't make mistakes.

ladies, i am an emotional wreck today
i havent stopped crying since this morning and i am still going!
i shouted at chloe for not wanting to write her name, she is 4.
i then told her teacher what i done cos chloe is a very sensative child and then she shouts at me cos i will break chloe spirit etc and she is a perfectionist (like her mother and believe me, its not good for ure kids) the teacher says cos chloe is so scared of making mistakes that she doesnt even wanna try etc and i feel so so so bad!
i shouted and said that this weekend she will not watch any tv and not say hello to granny etc and all until she learns to write her name, i saw her friend on wed and she wrote her own name so i assumed chloe must be able to as well and then the teacher said that this girl hailey doesnt even know how to read etc and i just feel so bad.
i did sit with chloe this morning and apologised to chloe and i just am still feeling so bad, they only learn to do their own names when they get to pre school and thats next year, which has just made me feel even worse, as i am typing this i am crying again this is my 4th time!
i cant ebgin to tell u how bad i feel and chloe is a very sensative child, very very sensative, i have never had to give her a hiding cos when i raise my voice she knows.
now she was fine when i left school and she is playing nicely etc and i gave her hugs and kisses and apologised but only after i spoke to the teacher and told her what i done, did i realise that i expect too much from her at such a young age
i am so heart broken

Ashababe - Yeh I know we take it out on the ones closest to us, I do feel bad, but he does sometimes bring it on himself..

Farthers day, well i bought hubby some warm slippers (cost about R300) and then got him a nice pedicure (yes ladies he loves being pampered).. lol and we are having a champagn breakfast at my mum...
As for meals, my hubby generally cooks, he always has. Well we both do, I do half and he does half, but generally he does it.. So I dont need to worry about that.
Everything, curry, soups, stews, the lot freezes well...
