My Son the Heartbreaker

That is my son. My jantung. My buah hati.

He is a heartbreaker.

I wonder, how can someone so little and still oblivious to the world, can break his mommy's heart in a million pieces.

Lately, he doesn't want me. He prefers his grandma more to me.

At first i was fine. Until last Saturday.

We had guests over for raya. He was clinging on to his grandma. I tried to take him away. He refused. Eventually, he cried and wailed so loud, when i carried him.

It broke my heart.

I went to the kitchen window and cried. My husband knew how at my worst i must have felt then.

After that, i refused to touch him. My mil tried to give him to me but i refused to take him saying, "what for? he doesnt want me."

I delivered him, i fed him, i put him to sleep, i cleaned his poo, i wake in the middle of the night to make milk for him.

Yet he prefers another more to me.

Tell me, how should i feel?

They say it's cos im pregnant that's why he is seeking attention elsewhere.

That suppose to comfort me? well, it didn't work.

Hairi.....Hairi tak sayang ibu ke?

you're a working woman, a working mother. it happens. don't let your emotions overrun your state of mind. hairi's just a child. he's your child. he still loves you. and right now you're pregnant so you're definitely more sensitive.

i'm kinda going through the same thing right now.

when i was with iylea, haifaa was very very clingy and followed me everywhere. she refused to let me out of her sight.

but now that iylea's out, she's been helping me a great deal with fetching iylea's things and cleaning up her own toys.

all she ever talks about is her sister. she does get jealous sometimes, but thats normal. i attribute it to the fact that she's 2 years old, and quite matured for her age.

later when you've given birth to your daughter, it's gonna be another different thing altogether. he's gonna be jealous, he's gonna be clingy, he's gonna be distant and want somebody else, he's gonna want you. he's just gonna be a typical child, so you gotta be prepared and you know it.

take it in your stride k sayang. when he's bigger he'll know better.

nobody forgets their mother :)

Alahai...
Jangan la cam tu...
Its juz a phase...
Although I dun hav a kid yet.
But it mite happen to me too.
Anak sangkot pat datok dia ke, sape ke.
Sape yg pamper budak tu, budak tu suka la.
Hope U dun feel down la eh Hari Raya bulan baik nie.
Good luck for Ur sale 2moro.

My dear,don't be sad.He is only a small child who is incapable of expressing any preferences.Love him,nurture him,and pray for him to become a man of good character - that is all a mother can do.He will always remember you,Inshaallah.
