I rarely have temper tantrums. Daddy and mummy are quite strict and stern in disciplining me. They will not tolerate nonsense such as unreasonable crankiness, leaving me no chance to express my frustrations and unhappiness through tantrums. Terrible 2s and Horrible 3s? I've never had the "privilege" to go through that because I know very well that tantrum = cane.
We did not talk to each other the whole morning after that. Upon arrival at school, I suddenly clung on to her, cried and refused to let her go. Mummy left without turning back to smile and wave goodbye to me, like she usually did.
Little did she know that I actually cried for 4 hours, from 8.30am until 12.30pm, from the moment class started until class dismissed! Little did she know that I had my "battery" fully charged for crying! Later, when told what happened, mummy felt so bad and embarrassed that she quickly apologized to my teacher for making her endure the torture of my misbehaviour!
I was still crying when we reached home. Can you believe how crazy I was? I was given a stroke of the rotan and barred from watching tv, having snacks and playing with my toys as additional punishment. Having nothing left to do or play, I slept the whole afternoon away...
... and also slept all my blues away...
Despite my annoying crying-spell, I was given a Tinkerbell balloon (all my classmates got one, of different design each), which mummy thought I didn't deserve at all. But it did put a smile back on my face again.
Awww you poor girl!! Next time tell mummy to be more patient with you. Everyone has moods!!! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my! Chloe, how could you be so naughty? Aunty thought you are a good girl all the time. I am sure you mommy is feeling very bad now, as she caned you. She didn't mean it, she just love you and want you to be good. So, Chloe, please be good again.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened? I think chloe didn't want to get out from the holiday mood..... smart girl... can dream some more being in the candy beach... :)
ReplyDeleteHL..ur style same like mine. Today, when Philip saw the school, he said, I dont want to go to school. I want to go to D...OMG! Then when reached school, cried until principal said, Monday Blues ar...I said YES without looking back n walked off....ahahhaha
ReplyDeleteAlamak Monday blues ah. Poor girl cried so long at school. Next time must listen to Mummy ok. I'm happy to see Chloe smile again. :)
ReplyDeletewei...sure or not she crying for nothing? Maybe she is not feeling well or something. Normally she seem so sunny de wor
ReplyDeleteNow i am different, i let my sons throw their tantrum, i throw mine too, after that i shared with them how we should learn to contend our own temperament, hey but then again my boys are older than your child, i guess,
ReplyDeleteyou have a great week ahead ya
I see Chloe is quite mature, to have such long winded tantrum, surely have some story behind. Could check up something happen to her on last friday in school.
ReplyDeleteKasihan,cried for 4 hours, did she lose her voice?
Smallkucing & Shenny's mommy: Actually nothing happened at school. She kept crying cos I scolded her in the morning. She got a big shock cos I haven't raised my voice at her like that in a long time. Maybe she expected me to sayang her back but I didn't, hence the 4-hour tantrum. I really had no idea that she was capable of doing this (being so long-winded)!
ReplyDeletehe he, kids tantrum....parents kepala pusing liao! LOL!

ReplyDeleteoh no you poor thing. i guess not only adults have monday blues but kids too. mommy, maybe she got up on the wrong side of the bed? glad that she is all smiles after that.
ReplyDeletepoor chloe. Didn't the principal call you in that 4 hours long? Hope she is in good mood now ;D
ReplyDeletehey, when a kid doesnt stop crying after half an hour, the principal didn't call you? must call lah.
ReplyDeleteanyway, :) mummy so 'garang' eh? hehehhe.. chill chill... send her to me, let me 'spoil' her for a minute :P
wah she really can cried so long huh. I guess she feel triple terrible the moment you left her at school. Sometime those hardy cried babe will cried 10x horrible, another way to release themselves haha. How come the teacher never call you, as you know you are a SAHM.
ReplyDeleteOh!~ don't use ur crying spell too often ya~~
ReplyDeletedon't cry too long, girl.. it will make your voice hoarse, girl.. so that is why your mum is worried.. :)
ReplyDelete4 hours??! Poor girl. Luckily she is smiles all over again :)
ReplyDeletewhether she is in a good or bad mood, we as parents should let her start her day in a happy mood. so, got to be really patient as after all, she is only so young. she has been so good girl all the while and once in a while, let her be naughthy lor??? she needs more attention, that's why???? need hug hug kiss kiss and sayang sayang!!! Wish her everyday before leaving her at the school YOU ENJOY YOUR DAY AND HAVE A NICE DAY will do good. When can Chloe dance dance with Koo Mar again??
ReplyDeleteSince how old did your mummy started using the rotan on you? Aunty is also planning to use the rotan to cane Little Juan Or (2 yrs 2 mth old) when he's naughty, only thing is dunno whether or not he's still too young to kena the impact of caning.
ReplyDeletePoor Chloe, she cried for so many hours..sure her eyes bengkak already!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, sometimes I also angry with Sarah on certain matter till I choose to not talking to her for few minutes, but once she started showing pity face and apologized, then I gave in:-)
