The Exam - mine or the kids?
I was reading Ina's entry on her quest to get a pet for her sons..... and her anxiety over her son's exam made me realised that I am also behaving/responding the same way. This week is Adilah (7 yrs old) and Adlina (4 yrs old) exam week at their schools. And I think I am going a bit over the board asking them to do revision! I mean, Adilah knows the value of getting 100% vs getting 80%. But Adlina? She is still drinking her chocolate milk in her cup every night! What was I thinking?
After all, they are kids, thus they are entitled to make mistake, coz that's how they can learn... right? Nevertheless, I think it is my responsibility as a parent, to create the fun learning environment with them at home, so that they enjoy the revision with me (of course there will be a lot of screaming and argument, knowing for fact that Baby Adriana who is just 15 months old, will also be doing the revision session)....
This also means I am not going to be able to have a good "rest" this week.... coz I'll be working also at night.... which reminds me... WHERE IS THE FATHER???

A father's sacrifice comes nothing close to a mother's.
Freaking out during their exams are common for mothers...... hee hee.
Wait till they sit for the UPSR.
keeh keeh keeh.
P/s: I'm freaking out too, cos Emil will be sitting for his PMR in 2 years time. (planning ahead.... hee hee - so that I do not super-freak-out!).
You're a master when it comes to freaking out for kid's exam! I mean you have been doing it for 13 years already. I've only 7 years of experience so far.... BUUUUUUUUTTTT if I consider
3 kids = total of (7 + 4 + 1) of their age = 12 years ...
kah..kah... try to cheat in the mathematical ways!
By next year, you would have over-taken me...... then, I can come to you for HELP!!!!
:)
8 + 5 + 2 = 15
(and Emil would just be 14......)
wah.... terrer jugak my math, kan....
hee hee

Yikes! When think of it, goosebumps are all over me.. kkkkkk
Lanie - terrer.. you memang terrer! hehehe... we ladies will be supporting each other forever... in the spirit of sisterhood! Nanti I kena berguru kat you pula tanda-2 anak kita bercinta, since "my math experience" tu cannot beat Emil punya age utk start a relationship. Errr you nak memantu yg macamana... wah, macam real je!
Ina - betul betul. I siap buat chart umur I berapa bila anak buat PMR, SPM etc... sebab kena budget untuk tusyen, extra book etc... I call it my "25 years plan"... sebab I dapat first baby masa umur 25. Crazy tak I? Ni semua pengaruh 7 HABITS!
