My name is Vie, you may call me V just as simple as that. Im 33 yo mother of 1 awesome kid. And I confess, I am not perfect!
Im gaining almost 30 lbs after I gave birth and since then, the fat stays with me
I read all the books about how to raise the children, but the A to Z theory doesn't suit me much.
Many people said that I have a 'super' baby and asked me how did I raise this wonder kid. I cant tell you much cause I dont have specific lines that I can share.
I teach him bilingual words, not because of the lifestyle but I just want him to understand some little things in his daily routines. Now he speaks in dual languages fluently for his age.
I dont have specific rules about what he eats. Not because Im careless, but I want him to understand that not every foods are healthy and allowed to be eaten daily. Now his placebo allergic starts to be cured bit by bit.
I let him watch TV for couple hours a day. Not only because Im lazy to play with him, but learning process can be everywhere and anytime. That someday he can realize that what he learns himself is more memorable. Now he knows the alphabets and count 1 to 10.
I give him an iPad. Because I can teach him the dos and the donts while he use the gadget, and early start up responsibility on having something. Now he knows that the only folder he can open is only his (contained learning games, puzzle & some hotwheels videos) and not the others, taking care of the iPad carefully and he know when to stop playing with it.
I let him pick the clothes he wanna wear. Not because I dont wanna pick him ones. But I want him to have a confidence of himself whenever he is. Now he can pick the matching tops and bottoms as well as the shoes.
I take him to the malls and buy him the toys. Not because I want him to be consumtive, but I want him to think strategically. How to ask politely, what is the process of selling and buying as well as determine what he wants exactly. Now he knows how to take care of his belongings and remember all of 'em. He also starts to be able to share with others and not selfish anymore. He never take anything that doesnt belong to him cause he knows that he must pay for things he wants to have.
Well, Im not a mother who can teach you about Mommies 101 theories. Im not perfect and so does my kid. But imperfection is the only thing we both living as a couple of mom&son.
Wearing lousy hommy dress and acting silly do strengthen our bonding together. Having bed-selfie is an interesting me-time for both of us.
I always teach him to respect others and be thankful for everything. I teach him to pray, and say sorry when he makes mistakes. I raise my child with no boundaries. And hoping someday, he can be a good person with good personality.
One thing Im not allowing him yet, is rain-showering. But once I say yes, he should be understand already that as a human, we can't fight the nature and God whom create it.
A-not-perfect-mother,
Vie
