Raising the brood - Pandai pandailah bawa diri.

Bila tinggal dalam kesunyian ini,I have lots of time to travel back down time tunnel.Reminiscing those days when the children were teeny weeny tots.And whiny as well.

I got my first when I was already 28. A she. Born at the GH where the attending nurse was a terror.Scolding patients around without any hoot.But that didn't deter me for my 2nd,3rd and lastly my fourth. All were born there. Sometimes you were lucky to have kind and understanding nurses handling you.Sometimes you dont.Could have opted for the private hospital,but I was always given a healthy bill so why bother to spend money when you can get it for free.Kedekut punya orang . Tapi bila anak anak sakit,they were mostly whisked to the private hospital because I wanted the best for them.So I was a regular at the hospital.Adoi banyak peristiwa yang boleh dicatatkan disini.

Once, one of the brood said:

Mama ni kontrol freak.Jangankan nak dating,orang telefon kerumah pun mama dah censor.Tu yang kami tak tau nak ber bf bf sampai besar.

Anak anak bila berkumpul memang seronok benar dok bercerita tentang mama yang macam general .Tegas dan no nonsense approach.Tak cool dan entah berapa tak lagi.Amboi , amboi.

Tergelak besar makcik dengar omelannya. Betullah tu,masa mereka bersekolah,makcik tak menggalakkan mereka berkawan sembarangan ,berboy dan bergirl friends . Tunggu sampai masuk U. I gave them the freedom untuk itu. Kalau lebih baik tunggu sampai habis study.

Pukul 7 makcik dah tunggu depan pagar rumah ,sampai semua dah masuk kandang.Tapi bila mereka dah merantau ke mana saja,makcik dah tak boleh dah nak jadi watchman.Pandai pandailah bawa diri.

Kalau macam tu…jadi tua lah kami.

Yang mana hendak.Tua tanpa ilmu didada or tua dengan kerjaya yang kukuh…siibu pula berfilosofi.

Mujurlah peristiwa pahit yang seorang anak hadapi terjadi selepas dia kukuh dalam pekerjaan. Mau apa kesudahannya kalau peristiwa itu berlaku semasa tengah studi.I bet the worst. Pelajaran entah kemana,cinta melayang,kerja lagilah .Kan susah .

Sekarang anak anak semua sudah habis study.Yang bongsu hanya setahun saja lagi untuk menghabiskan studinya. Doa mama semoga semua mereka bertemu jodoh dan dapat membangunkan keluarga yang bahagia.Dapat pekerjaan yang boleh menampung kehidupan.Dan dengan ilmu yang diberi…pandai pandailah bawa diri.

Mama boleh sponsor tak untuk buat master?

Itu kena cari sendiri la.Mana lah lagi ada ongkosnya!Yang termampu hanyalah doa untuk kalian.Semoga hidup diberkati dunia dan akhirat.

  4. Nur,
    I totally agree with you.When they are older,they realise the benefit of having a mum who look after them,guide them and sometimes control them.Tak la apa nak buat,mamaabah diam saja.
    Sometimes what we did might be seen as domineering but who cares.We care more for the children.In our own way.
    tapi taklah pula guna kuku besikan!

  5. i agree with nursalamah's comments but of course parents also perlu menerapkan keseimbangan.

    untung cikgu punya kids yang menuju kejayaan.

  6. long time no see,noir.
    Agreed too with you.Keseimbangan is fundamental.tapi tu sedikit susah kan nak capai.
    A mum's worry never ends until her dying day.Sekarang worry makcik beralih arah ke alam berumahtangga mereka pula.
    semoga mereka menuju kejayaan dalam pekerjaan dan kehidupan.InsyaAllah.

    Jodoh pertemuan semua di tangan tuhan bukan sebab kita kontrol pergaulan dia ke apa ker..macam anak saya ni...kontrol bagai nak rak pun, dia nak kawin jugak..abah dia dah tanya..betul ke ko nak kawin sekarang...usia baru 23 tapi kata dia nak kawin gak..so kena proceed lah jugak....

    tapi saya suka anak anak belajar sampai tamat baru fikir pasal kawin.....kalau tak..tak kemana la tu...
