Sherilyn my #2 is always up to tricks, antics and patience-testing habits that drive me nuts. From young, she would take forever to finish her meals. At every meal, she would SURELY spill water, milk or soup, drop her food everywhere on the floor from the dining area to the living room as she will climb up and down her chair, climb and walk from one chair to another, run up and down the house, remove her bib and fling it about, thereby dropping the food on the bib bowl onto the floor, change her clothes as she will wet it and previously she would even puke every other day during her meals…. until I nicknamed her Miss Pukey. Yesterday, she spilled a full glass of milk with Nestum and Milo on the dining table. Later, she spilled water and at night, she spilled tea!
Last night, Sherilyn took 2.5 hours to finish off her dinner consisting of a bowl of rice with pork ribs and veggie. She was practically storing the food in her mouth and wouldn’t chew it and she wouldn’t sit still too. She was also spilling her soup and dropping food on the floor. I got so pissed off with her that I threatened her. I told her that if she continued to spill her water, soup and drop food everywhere on the floor, I will make her sit on a stool in the bathroom, lock her in the bathroom and make her eat in the bathroom. This way, I don’t have to clean up her mess on the floor. My mil added that she will also lock her in the storeroom.
When Alycia heard me saying this, she asked “mummy, will God be angry with you for saying this to Kay Yi?” My mil and I were stunnned with her question. For a moment, I didn’t know how to answer her. After pondering for a while, I said “No, God will not be angry with me as I am only disciplining your sister who is very disobedient and naughty”. I hope I gave her a satisfactory answer but I also wondered if God would be angry with me for saying such things and even nastier things to my own daughter when I am burning with anger!

Aiyo, like that God really gets angry with me almost everyday liao… 😛
Well, my son is quite a handful too. I remember I once “scolded” him for being so difficult at night when he wakes up 4-5 times each night .. and the next morning when I sent him off to my mom’s place, I threatened to send him to a baby sitter whom I dont know and I will only pick him up on Sat and send him off again on Sun! Hahahaha .. but I never did that of course. Well, he is still waking up at night but say 3 times now? So .. what can I say, we do have our limits too.
Hehe me too God will def be angry with me. My gal is a slow coach when she has her dinner normally min one hour. I just gave up and fed her instead even though she is already 3yrs 4mths old already. I tried to cook food that she really love so that she can focus on her food at least half an hour before coming up with her old tricks.
wah! i read this aso, i felt your pain!
kids say the most poignant things at the wierdest times, don’t they?
God might be angry at you, but he still loves you. heheheheeh..
p/s: my no.2 is the same. just like your no.2. only thing is..no water spillage. i don’t let them drink water until they habis all their makan *evil mama*

Alycia is so cute to ask u that question. 🙂
Sharlene eats quite fast and won’t keep her food in the mouth but if she doesn’t like her food she will spit it out on the table, on the floor and everywhere! really ‘kek sei ngor’..
Oh! I love the question, I would be stunned too if i were there! Beware! Our children are watching us!
oohh.. Alycia’s growing up already leh, the way she thinks 🙂 And I have a feeling that my toddler will be like your no.2! He’s into storing food like a chipmunk now and I can’t get him to sit still!
samuel is also the same… like to store food in his mouth n doesnt chew… but i think he is worst coz he still need to be fed!
she knows lot of things. i also shocked about her question.
Nah, God is a parent too remember? He was angry with Adam too!
i don think she purposely spill the food and drinks. just that maybe she does not pay attention to her eating? My poor sweet little Sherilyn 🙂
Hahahha…God will angry with me too!!!! I just love Alycia question, so funny!
