Kids - Blessing or Diaster?

Everyone will say, babies are sooooooooooooooooo fun and cute!! Of course they will say so (even I do) because I am not the one taking care of them ;p Babies are ALWAYS fun to play with and some of them are soooooooooo adorable!

Seriously, I have always love babies. Babies - not kids. You'll might think that I am mad cause babies will grow up to be kids but babies and kids are really different. I always love that babies are sooooo adorable and innocent and gives you that cheeky smile that melts your heart. But for kids, my tolerance level is seriously low unless they are very well-behaved.

The other day, BB's cousin brought her kids over for dinner (she has 3 girls - 9 yrs old, 5 yrs old and 5 months old). She is probably just 2 to 3 years my senior and I really think that she is quite good to manage 3 kids. Initially, the kids will quite nice and they are quite adorable. They came to my room and chat with me. I guess kids are like that..they like to ask alot of questions, keep talking non-stop wanting all your attention and I am still fine with that.

Shortly after dinner, I need to get change to go for mahjong session and the girls refuse to come out of the room. They started to jump on my bed NON-STOP, giggling and shouting at the same time and they are seriously bringing up the heat in the room (aircon is not exactly cold and I am sweating. I have low tolerance level for humidity). One thing I can't stand is extremely uncontrollable kids. I told them to stop jumping and they simply ignore me, continue jumping and maybe they thought I am playing with them but my face is seriously black by then. I can't exactly scold them either as it is not nice but when I imagine them running around and jumping on MY bed, seriously makes my blood boil. When one of them starts playing with my things, I had almost reach my limit (I admit that my patience and tolerance level is seriously low). I refuse to answer their question as I am afraid that I might just scold them and luckily BB can totally sense my anger and ask them to stop playing with my things and ask them to go out of the room.

Maybe some of you will say that I am a selfish person and should have more patience for kids because they ARE LIKE THAT. Seriously, those who says the above sentence obviously don't know how to teach your kids. I had seen very well-behaved kids who are oh-so-sweet! How your kids behave depends on how you teach them and it's a parent's responsibilty to teach them the right behaviour at the right place and situation. I understand that alot of parents may not bear to be strict with their kids as they will feel the heartache when the kids cry but this is seriously not right! By doing that, you will be causing more harm than good to them!(Maybe Mdm Boo can open a school for parents to send naughty kids to and have a 2week's camp with her, I am sure the kids will be super well-behaved after that. Don't be mistaken, Mdm Boo loves babies and kids but she has her own ways to make sure they behave. Hahhaa..)

After looking at them, I suddenly thought to myself, "Am I seriously suitable to have kids?" Can I tolerate such behaviour??Will I go crazy shouting at them and making sure they behave themselves? I am seriously not sure. BB kept saying that our future baby will be closer to him (I told him, "Good! Then you can take care of them! Hahaha..save me from my wrinkles!) as I am going to be a fierce mum but I am fine with that as long as he/she listens to me and behave themselves well (I definitely love my baby but I need them to know what's right and wrong)

Even if I am going to have kids, I'll probably stop at one as I know I am definitely going to be bias and I do not want the other one to feel left out. And I'll try my best to make sure my baby is going to behave himself/herself as I seriously can't stand ill-mannered kids (especially those who scream and shouts at the top of their piercing voice in shopping malls when you refuse to buy them toys).

God bless me.
