How to develop patience?
And that too coming from my tummy? (hope my hubby does not read this)
Thank God, I am working (and am able to login to cmoms in office) For an instance, when I wake her up, she wakes up smiling, asking for a kiss from me and comes into my arms (wait…don’t come to any conclusions…!!!)
Now pls tell me how do I explain this to the black dog because my daughter will not take any other explanation from me.;
En porumaiku avlo dhan di magale alavu.
(Welcome people, where were u guys all this time??) Even my little kid (9 months) laughs at me from a corner. As if I am a merciless woman and I don’t have any other job rather than beating my daughter….Believe me gals…it was just a slap and not the “ippadi adikara” type.
Started!!! I try to be patient. 
. I shout at her, leave her alone and continue getting ready for office. Her father comes out of the bath room, sees smruthi’s hair and shouts at me “Innuma di ivalukku thala vaarala?” vaaaayaa vaaa…..aduthadhu nee vaanga pora enkitta.
I stare at him and say “unga ponnu pottuka maatengara”






and the last bit of patience in me has gone to America….no moon…no…the farthest star in the universe.
And to know that there is one more in the line after her.....ippove kanna kattudheee....
Hahaha...Gayathri engala unga veettukkey koottittu poitta.. Unga girlsa nerla partha mathiri irukku...What a super blog...!!

Gayathri.....I totally understand what you are going through this will almost be the case in every household. Motherhood is such a wonderful phase where you develop maximum patience if you think you will not. I face a similar situation at home but the gravity of the situation is thrice of what you have explained. Infact the third one used to sleep peacefully while I used to get the elder two ready but now he also is awake at that time and cries for my attention while I choose to ignore most often.
I think one of the reasons that kids behave like the your daughter is behaving is because she is missing you....I am not sure about your work timings but whenever you are at home, try and give maximum attention to her and since you have had your 2nd baby soon enough, the first ones will tend to do more chettai just to get your attention. That is purely my analysis from my kids and I suppose your kids will not be much different due to a similar age difference. If she wants to help you with something, dont stop her from doing, instead get her to help you to do stuff even if it means that you will need spend some extra time. This will expose her to doing stuff that she wants to and once she knows how it is do to stir a glass of milk, she will then lose interest or if she further begins to like it, just let her master it. Kids are just like us. When we are told not to do something, we go ahead and do it just to find out what it is to do it and see. It is the same case with young kids.
With my sons, my 2nd fellow was a lil disciplined but gradually the genes are setting in and he is getting to be the naughtiest and he wants to do everything that his big brother does so you can imagine, if abhinav does not want to brush his teeth or if he is still sleeping, Anubhav also wants to further sleep and I am dreading as Arnav is watching them......For the mundhiri kottai that he is, looks like he will learn everything very soon. For me, it is like a storm in the mornings between 7:30am and 8:45a. I am glad I got myself a good cook otherwise, I would go have gone mad long time ago. Every day after the boys leave for school, I feel so releived and go through the entire line of events and laugh to myself.
But imagine....going through that traumatic phase of getting them ready to school and sending the van and I realise that I either have not sent one book or their lunch etc....this has happened a few times and I have had to rush to school to give it to them. Life is so funny and each day is such a blessing.
vaidehi....i understand wht u r saying and i've tried many times...even i have the feeling tht she misses me so....i spend the entire time with her only and i tend to swathi only after she has slept. But she is simply getting on my nerves...i involve her in everything i do....i even tell her my daily ativities in office and ask her school things...those times she behaves beautifully, but all of a sudden she becomes a time bomb and my patience balloon goes pop! but still am trying to improve. Thanks for ur concern and shall try to be mmore patient.
I totally understand but we have lil choice in this case.....when my kids refuse to brush their teeth, I suddenly do one drama as I saw a huge worm in their teeth and pick out some dirt and show them that it came from their teeth etc etc and that if it goes into their stomach ----- build a story. Tell her you will not speak to her if she misbehaves and that helps with some kids.
Gayathri, this is absolutely normal, this is life. There's no escape. My son is 8.5 and the situation is not very different, only my decibel level and BP increases. Otherwise I am a very peaceful person (other cmoms will tell you) but with my son I'm a rakshasi.
I'm at home full time but still with his father he'll do everything peacefully because his father will do every task playfully with him (he does it once in a blue moon) but I have to do this daily!
So enjoy it!
Wait wait wait......Gayathri.....this is nothg new....i jus have one kid and she is equal to 10 kids at home...to outsiders she is a darling......but to people who r watching her everyday know that she is a devil...she has a mind of her own( i think most of kids these days do...and thats where lies the problem)...my daughter will behave as if she knows everthg in the world....and will throw a tantrum without any rhyme or reason....
She will take 1/2 hr to brush after lot of dodging...1 hr ( beleive me...no exaggeration) for a 100 ml milk...and most of the times 1/2 the cup is still full!!! no breakfast...bathing- she jus loves to be in water....and loves to dress up-and she will pick her own dress for school....irukkardulaya kevalama dress a kaila vachittu atha thaan poduven nu adam pidippa....snacks will cme back home....lunch time 2 hrs...athukkulla naan pasila sethu poiduven...so i normally have my food and then feed her....
Every food time is a war time....not jus food...milk,snacks,fruit...whatevr time u wanna add....and nap and sleepg time are like thirld world wars!!!!
She knows ways n means to pull out the dabbas frm the top most shelves and ofcourse empty them...so many lost items can be found in her toy tubs...pull out all my cosmetics( even if i pathukkify them) and apply them at the right place...( infact she wud dress up and say im going to mrs homemaker
And she will talk so...much that my husband wud keep sayg that some paatti's aavi is inside her !!!!
For her age, she wud argue with me...and smetimes sensibly....But all these only with us...for any outsider, she wudnt even say a hi...ithellam veetla puli velila eli....
Now, why did I share all these things??? Veettukku veedu vasapadi nu therija athula oru santhosham...illaya????
And Im at home most of the time with her( she is my only child...so i don think she is cravg for my attention...may be too....much attention)...i ll go crazy almost everyday...but as all elders wud say ,this phase will not be back...she wudnt behave and do things the same way after couple of years...
actually ippadi niraya adikitte pogalam...but paavam...i don want to crib....its jus part of life...though i get angry at that time...i know this phase will never cme back !!! I wud like to enjoy each n every moment with her....
When people hear my polambal and sometimes they also get a chance to witness it,they say "such kids will be very intelligent"...and im jus pinning my hopes on that !!!
Jus enjoy every moment...its precious.....
Ellam solradhu easy..anubhavikkardhu kashtam thaan.....
thnxz everybody...
@shanti and shobana.....im happy tht there is someone like me....
@vai: i hv even tried telling her tht ill not talk with her..for the first time i tried this trick..it worked out...now...she is absolutely fine with me not talking to her 
As everyone says this phase too shall pass. So before it passes off enjoy it the most.
One thing I observed is you wake her up and want her to be ready in an hour.
Now coming to your problem.
Kids are very active after having a nice sleep. They are at the fullest energy level. They want to play, they want to screem for no reasons. These are just to say that they are at their full spirits.
They are in their own world. They dont have any timeframe that---- I shd get ready in an hours time. Amma has to leave in half an hour,I shd brush in 10 min, I shd dringk milk in 10 min. I shd finish eating in 15 min.. Don't expect them to be programmed according to time. When they understand the value of time they will be an adult and not a kid anymore. WHat I understand is YOU ARE UNDER PRESSURE to get her ready in an hours time so you get tensed and show it in your actions or words. So what I would suggest is you wake her up half an hour early atleast, give her the time. You'll also not be under pressure even when she roams around with out doing her morning duties. When u are not under pressure or in a relaxed state everything will be normal. Try this.
Gayathri,
Nijamave ippo santhoshama iruku ponnu illeyenu,enna kudumi podra prachnai minus aayirchu...maddhadhellam ditto thaan.
Actually,namma mela dhann thappu,they cannot understand time concept.Adhale,naama thaan konjam seekrama ezhupi vidanum.Adhu kooda avlo easy kidayadhu.
If she's interested in doing with her grand parents make them do it.Also,if ur hubby can help take his help for bathing and brushing.Yenna they like to do it playfully,namba naala kalayila velayada mudiyadhu,so better assign it to a person whose words she'll take.
