One sunday, while
crocheting, Matt approached me and keeps on pulling my hands. He wants me to
play with him outside but I still continue on crocheting. Then he suddenly said
something that makes me stop and think for a while.
Matt: Daddy, maya na gagantsilyo ha! (Daddy,
do your crochet later, okay?)
For a two year old
boy, he may not know the meaning of what he said and it is up to you on how you
respond to such statement. Hearing those words makes me feel guilty and thought
that he is just asking my attention even for a while.
There are times I
easily lost my temper with Matt because of his kakulitan and scolded or get angry with him and worst I spanked
him a little. In the end I feel guilty on what I did. What really breaks my heart is
when I heard his conversation with mommy:
Mommy: Sorry ka na kay Daddy. Pa-loves mu na sya.
(Say sorry to Daddy, tell him you love him)
Matt: Ayaw. Hindi na laloves daddy. (I don’t
like. I don’t love him anymore)
How about you, how
will you feel when you hear those words from a two-year old kid?
However, my anger
eventually losses once he approaches, hugs and kisses me saying “Pa-loves Daddy, Ser Chief. Wag na kukulit
Mamatt ha? Gagalit Daddy, Ser Chief” (Love you Daddy, Ser Chief. Don’t be
naughty Matt, okay? Daddy, Ser Chief, will get angry.)
Very heartwarming
right?
