Quoted from a text I received today from a teacher at their school…. I shall bask in the light of compliments I get when I meet teachers from school. Apart from the their academic performance the one thing they always tell me…. “Please continue to do whatever you’re doing to raise such lovely daughter” whether it’s P or A…. The feedback is the same.

It makes me so proud that my girls are leaving a positive impact on the people around them. People think of them as lovely human beings who are empathetic and polite and caring and helpful. I wonder which part of my upbringing makes them like that. I don’t have any intentional talks with them about being like this. They are what they are. The one thing I always do is love them unconditionally. Yes, I yell and I get upset with them a number of times. But then at the same time I shower them with all my love.

But you know…. Sometimes it also makes me wonder if they are talking about my child. Coz I see a different personality at home. As far as P is concerned she’s such a different person at home. She’s hardly helpful, doesn’t bother about anything else at home, and can be really upsetting. Maybe she’s being a teen but then why does all the teen power have to come out on me. Why not a little bit in school also 🙄

And A…. What do I say about her. She’s adorable. A little cutie pie. But also a cranky baby. Her tears are like waiting to pour out and she cries at the drop of a hat. She cries at every tiny thing and that can be really really annoying.

Well… what’s to say if the world thinks they are lovely. If they say so….. ☺️
