We were on our way down south to see our parents and there was NO silence in the car. All three children were talking.
Cast:
Karl – eldest boy in the family
Wayne – the middle child, the most playful child
Nyn – the youngest and only girl
Me – the mother
Nyn and Wayne were fighting over what show to watch on their portable DVD.

Nyn and Wayne were fighting over what show to watch on their portable DVD.
Karl: Let’s vote. Wayne, what show do you want?
Wayne: Land Before Time.
Karl: You, Nyn?
Nyn: Hi-Fi.
Karl: Ok, I choose Land Before Time. So, both of us want Land Before Time. We shall watch Land Before Time (about dinosaurs).
Me: Poor Nyn. Two against one. Mymmy will deliver another baby girl so that you would have a partner, ok?
Nyn: Yes, yes, yes. I want baby girl.
Wayne: NO!!! I don’t want mummy to have another baby.
Nyn: I want, I want.
Wayne: *Almost in tears* NO, I don’t want.
Me: Ok, let Wayne talk. Wayne, why don’t you want another baby?
Wayne: I don’t want mummy to have another baby because if mummy has another baby, mummy will have pain and blood. I don’t want mummy to have pain and blood.
Me: So, you love mummy?
Wayne: Yes, I love mummy. I don’t want mummy to have pain. I don’t want mummy to have another baby.
Me: Ok, I will not have another baby. Thank you for loving me and I would be happy if all of you can behave yourselves and be good boys and good girl.
All my frustrations and headaches disappeared at that moment. This is one moment I feel my efforts in parenting not wasted and my love for them is appreciated.

Oh . . . how cute. You really made them think! And the empathy Wayne had . . . that is so rare for young children. Mummy must be doing something right!

Its a wonderful feeling when the children respond towards our love and care positively. A confident parent is a happy parent.
really touching.........and cute conversation...I miss my kids now
Wah, he really cares! You must be proud.
WOWWWW! Being the most playful one also can be so loving!! What a sweet moment!
such a caring boy he is, must have melted your heart upon hearing his reply!
Thanks for the award
Aww.. that's so sweet. It's really important to let the kids voice out their opinion or thots. We cannot jes assume what they think.
wah ur boy is so good leh..vy touching
i promise, in time...i will forgive the action that was taken...as cruel and truly unforgivable that it may have been. but, right now, my heart still breaks everytime i think of what was lost...all my childhood memories that were stored in boxes and my bedroom set...it really is raw!!
have i told you how awesome i think you are? really...a wonderful, kind person and i am so thankful to have you as a friend...even if it is just in writing!!
xoxo
Aww....that is so sweet :) What sweeties you have..
That is so sweet! You have such wonderful children!
WOW - that discussions turn quickly in your favor, didn't it? How sweet - how cute!! This sounded like an episode in my car - definately!
Have a good day - Kellan
I can see why your headache disappeared. Your son has a sweet heart!
Its amazing what goes on in their little minds sometimes. :)
wwwaaaa... so cute wayneeee... btw, I love this script.. hihihi.. Let's tag wayne to show 8 facts about him ok?
I've linked Wayne on my post. :-)
very touching... Wayne is such a loving boy, he sure know having a baby will cause mummy to have more pain and blood?? Very clever...
i guess the older they get, the more expressive they are. Ian still doesnt know how to express himself that way except by telling me he loves me every single day...
poor..Nyn....hehe
i wonder when is my turn to hear such touching words from my kid
i noticed that the most difficult child, the middle child and the one that received the most discipline cares about you more that the rest.
my Clarissa is very concern about my feeling and about hurting myself physically.
i just have to tell her that i am sad and look like one too and she will come to pamper me. ;)
Thank you for all your comments.
Your kids are soooo loving!
But then again, I pity your girl as she really hope she will get a sister to play with her...
