Growing Up Together : We Share
No. As parents, we are still not accustomed to the daily squabbles and complaints between our boys.
Maybe it has become a HABIT and they will feel INCOMPLETE when they don’t CHALLENGE each other every now and then.
[Seriously, we have proof that it doesn't mean that they don't love each other..haha!]
As Darren gets more vocal and quick-witted nowadays, the daily debate between them has become even more challenging.
As punctual as a rooster, they will start their first argument early morning in the car, till the very last minute when they step into bedroom at night.
However…..
When they don’t realise, they ARE naturally very NICE and CARING together.
Having a sibling to Grow Up Together and a sibling to SHARE MOMENTS WITH can be such a privilege and bliss *smile*.
Sharing a cup of ice lemon tea. Hmm…why does the ice lemon tea seem tastier and sweeter and haha…even more valuable when we share gentlemanly?
I hope these candid moments of our boys growing up together, sharing, taking care of each other will follow them and be much cherished as they grow.
That natural instinct for our elder brother to hold on tight to his younger brother’s hand, taking care of him as they slide down at the Christmas Fantasy Castle at Terminal 3 Singapore Changi Airport. It is a loving sight:)
Like any other mothers, to see our children getting along harmoniously and watching out for each other will never fail to bring that indescribable joy to our heart *smile*.
ya..siblings got to share in order to be close.
Yes, a mother’s wish is also that.. family/siblings strong bonding among one another…
It is so heart-warming to see siblings so close together especially the bonds get stronger as years go by. Partly must be the efforts of good parenting :)
Great job Denesa!
Hi Wenn,
Through learning to share at home, they learn to share with others too.
Hi Claire,
We mothers’ expectations are not too tough huh? I do not have siblings myself and if I had one now, I am sure I will cherish the bonding I have with him/her.
hi Michael,
Actually, my kids squabble so much till we have hardly any peaceful moments free from arguments. I guess they spend alot of time together and naturally become more sensitive to each other’s actions and behaviours too. Haha…just like how we get sensitive to our spouse’s behaviour and actions. However, deep in their hearts, I am sure they care very much for each other. Sometimes, it is hard not getting a pair of items for both of them because they will fight. However, as they get exposed to the fact that not everything we have the luxury to get a pair for them or how they should share and learn how to give in to each other, they will carry this positive and open-hearted “perspective” with them for a longer way to come.
