Last week was a week of punches and nosebleeds.
The first one, korkor slapped meimei real hard on her mouth, after her little teasing on his teacher, RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME! Then, I saw her bleeding from her nose and it was so heart wrenching. To see korkor's violence and unloving attitude to his own sister, and her hurting from his whack.
That night, when I was lying down on the bed with her, I asked her if it was still painful. She told me not, but she said in her own words (I forgot what they are) to imply she was sad in the heart. I felt so sorry for her.
And the next day, I was dragging my feet with a heavy heart, feeling somehow different towards my eldest child, and a very guilty mom at that too, that I hadn't been able to instill him to love his own sister, if not in the open, but at least from his heart.
When he got home from school and having his lunch, I talked to him. I told him she's the only sister he ever will have forever, and he ought to love her and appreciate her for that. That will mean too that his mom, me, will be happy if he does, and with a happy mom, there will be a happy family and a happy home. I asked him if that's what he likes in the end.
With another few more minutes of lecture and logic, I told him I shall hope to see him teasing his sister NO MORE and show more love and care to her. He solemnly promised and I hope he keeps to that.
A couple of days later, didi came home and tell me someone punched him in his nose and he bled. Boy! That was another heartache moment. I went to school to see his teacher the next morning and she told me she knew about it. The boy was a hyperactive kid, and for some reason only he knows, he came and punched my son at his nose with 2 hands together (as what was told by all his classmates to me).
I waited for the boy to appear and told him that it's not a good thing to do. And really, there's not much I can do, except to hope for the best and reward him with some little gifts if he keeps to his promise to not hurt didi again and make friends instead.
What else could I do more?
