The story was inspired by my boss 3-yrs old daughter who was freeing herself cutting papers with big scissors and her daddy was only looking at her and smiling.
I started questioning myself : will I be able to let my kiddos to do the same at their age? will I be a nervous mom who will grab the scissors and put it away?
This year is his 2nd years living in Jakarta. When the wife delivered the 2nd born months back, I asked if they will hire a new nanny and they said no. And with minimum help, they are able to teach the daughter to be independent. Hellooowww.....who will let the 3yrs old grabbing scissors??
Living in Jakarta giving you so much priviledge for having 2, 3 or 4 nannies easily helping you. It is very common if you go to the mall to see children running errands or playing at the playground with their nanny.
I have two home assistants by the way and by any chance, I sometimes lazy when I got home tired and let all the babysitting duties been delegated. I know it will spoil the kiddos and they become less independent.
Me as the mom sometimes forget that nurturing is about building your close relationship with the children. And that includes sitting boringly at the playground or changing the clothes or let the kiddos do it by themselves, to my opinion.
To minimize, I don't bring my assistants for mall hangout,drum lessons, swimming or travelling...well, if I do ask them to come is to the event when the hubby is not around, or if we would like to have fun together like picnic.
I chat with my lil sis who is now living in Kuala Lumpur and be a full-time mom. We both agreed this is called the beauty of motherhood to share every precious moment together with the kiddos.
As the time goes by and the kiddos growing up, they would think we are the coolest mom ever.
Our children are the now generation, the gadgets generation....we need them to be ready to conquer the world! *lebay.com*
