Sigh.
I've been trying this year to set aside time to spend individually with each child as well as time with all three.
I've also resolved to be thankful and appreciative of saro and work on my relationship .
So far. It's 10 days into Jan. . I've been doing it and enjoying the benefits. But it's not easy. It takes effort and a sense of conscientiousness and planning.
And all the more I'm feeling.. man I don't have time to be a good parent. I get the weekend. Which I need to split a few ways now for quality time with each child. And I get two hours every evening. If I'm lucky. In that time I need to have dinner play with them sign their forms check their bags and homework and go over spelling . How ??????
I'm seriously thinking of taking half load this year from March onwards.
There's this huge responsibility to come up with a great syllabus and implementation support plan for lit. That's this year till may next year.
And there's my children. And my son in particular who's turning 6 this year and entering p1 next year. It's a turning point year. Where I need to be there to support him as he grows. He says and does things that tell me he needs me and wants me. Like he hits his younger sister and calls her names. It's to get our attention I feel. His whole face blossomed when I told him how good a boy he's been things he whole day coz he just didn't see that in himself. He hears me scolding him for bullying his sister and he says he wants to hurt himself or be born in another family so he can't hurt people.
