Nanny talks

One of my daily tasks nowadays is to pick up my niece from her school. I’ll wait at the school entrance every afternoon until JH comes out of her class and then bring her home. If you were to ask me about the most enjoyable moment throughout this experience, it would be the moment when I hold her tiny hand,asking her about her school life while walking towards the car.Because of that, I get a taste of my mom’s feeling when she used to pick me up from school since I was in kindergarden and all the way until high school. I also understand the feeling of having a fixed and repetitive schedule daily, as well as the sacrifices a mom makes for her children.



I must say children these days are getting more busy as compared to the childhood times I had last time. When I was at her age,I spent most of the time playing with my toys and also watching how Jerry fooled Tom. But also because of the early education, they are undoubtedly smarter and cheekier, so time is really the price they pay for their learning progress in future.

I've also noticed that moms are especially concerned about the daily amount of water their children drink in school. When I was still schooling, my mom used to check my water bottle everyday after school and scolded me if my bottle was still full. So, one of the activities I loved doing with my classmate was to compete drinking water with each other a few minutes before school ended, just to save myself from going through all the trouble.

There’s a saying ‘like mother like daughter’, since my mom has become a grandma now, there’s actually another person who shares the same concern with her on this matter, the one whom her bottle used to be checked when she was young. The first thing my mom or my sis would ask her granddaughter/daughter when she picks up JH is :Did you drink water today? Did you finish drinking your water? Let me see your bottle.

Wow, I used to hear that everyday too, the thought of seeing another kid going through the same thing as I did before amuses me.



Ya, I really wonder if all moms are the same.

Upon writing this entry, I really feel like as if I’m stepping into the NANNY world with a lot of childcare experiences to share with you guys. A lot of my friends say I’m a potential mom in future due to my experiences, hmmm in which I doubt a lot on that because for now, I'm not prepared to have a child in future yet.

I feel old, literally.

Nahh, how not to feel so when my third nephew is coming to this world soon!!
