See how samseng my princess wannabe is here :
Sher is doing her pre-school homework here but as usual, she must move her body and fidget every single part of her body… coz that’s Sherilyn! I can never ever get her to sit still for just about anything (except when she’s seated right in front of the telly) and she is just so so so so mischievous and fearless.
Yesterday, we received yet another complaint from her teacher, who complaint that she kept scribbling on her workbooks… again… despite being reprimanded by me and by her teachers countless times!
It’s also very, very stressful and difficult for my mil and me to get her to pay attention whenever we coach her in her homework. Her mind and eyes would always wander far away and we would have to repeat everything that we had said like 10-20 times. Angry or not you say? Would your blood boil too? After each homework coaching session, I would need a shower as I would be soaking in my own sweat. In between coaching Sher, I also have Alycia to coach and a hyperactive 14-mo toddler who is cruising and crawling everywhere to watch closely at. And at times when I wasn’t looking, she would put broken pencil lead, pencil sharpener dirt, eraser dirt that her 2 jie jies threw on the floor or other dirt and food crumbs she picked up from the floor into her mouth! This often gives me a heart attack and would send me yelling away like a mad woman.
This afternoon, I blew my top and caned Sher when she just wouldn’t pay attention despite me explaining her work to her. I was holding her hand and showing her the correct order of writing Chinese characters but this fler’s eyes were wandering somewhere else. Each time I asked her to write on her own, she would write nonsense. She also drew heart shapes and flowers all over her Mandarin exercise book! Really kek sei ngor! I also threatened her that she will have no access to all her favorite snacks if she misbehaves in school again.
No. of times viewed = 358
I think if I were in your shoes also I would have blown my top.
My elder daughter also so “samseng” like yours. 🙂
Cannot sit still…
Looks like yoga while doing her homework. 😛
I am sure she will grow out of it. Be patient.
oh my…Ashley is just like Sherilyn. Can never sit still to do her homework and she scribbles all over her new textbook 🙁 Her teacher made her rub everything off. She doesn’t pay attention too when doing her work *sigh* I cannot imagine what would happen if we put Ashley and Sher together for one whole day:)
Whoah….that’s something of your Sherilyn. My 2 and a half year old also a samseng already. She climbs onto the coffee table, she overturned her Lego box to make it a stool so that she could stand on it to reach the kitchen counter. She’s not even 3 and each time, I just got so worried. If she falls or hurt herself, i will be the one getting the scoldings and lectures from every side! Huh! ‘jo ah ma hou nan ah’!
And the pose that Sherilyn struck in the pix above, she has been doing countless of times, and once I caught her falling asleep in that pose but thank God, not between the table and chair but between the sofa and a small settee. Sometimes, I just wonder how to sleep like that? Huh! Kids nowadays…….
this sound familiar… be cool Shireen, I believer Sherlyn will be able to go through this stage. 🙂 Don’t kek si, coz you still got 2 others…
sigh… I always tell Amber I’m not sending her to school coz she dun wanna sit down and write. I dunno what’ll happen next yr when she goes to school.
BTW, the ‘back scratcher’ on the table, is that Sherilyn’s cane ???
sounds familiar… like my son..
haha..she’s like Faythe, esp. when comes to chinese writing, like a dead cat when ask her do homework
All your words are sounded so familiar. I am like that too, screaming, yelling and scolding are my daily jobs now.
OMG!!! You’re just like me, or I’m just like you!! Most of the times I have to repeat repeat repeat myself to Victoria before she does what I say, and that also when I’m mad already, and leave some warnings or threats to her. The Mr Rotan is there, and she always makes me feel bad after I use it. She’d give me a hug in the middle of my scoldings. Sometimes I really feel I’m becoming a nagger…
aiyoo… but somehow we survive huh. What to do? Dunno if boys will be easier or not…. supposedly more difficult.
