One of those fights.

After an incident the other day where meimei wrote something bad about her brothers and korkor wrote the forbidden word in it whilst didi wanted to show her friends what she did, I was flabbergasted and scolded them that 2 wrongs won't make a right, moreover that was 3 wrongs altogether.

And I began my little reminder to them...

1. 3 of them are siblings for life, when they are grown up and when we are not around anymore, they only have each other, whereas friends come and go, there aren't such things as best friends forever. (well, maybe if they are lucky like me, they could find one or two as life goes on...)

2. It's not anything to be proud of to bring his own sister down in front of her friends. He gets nothing at the end of the day and it's a big shame to him too.

3. Uttering the forbidden word or even writing it down is NOT cool AT ALL! I was furious! It only shows one has no mind of his own and is only following what others are doing.

4. In any case, they ought to reflect back on themselves why she wrote such things. Had they been good to her in the first place? Before pointing out the problem on others, take a look back and check whether the problem is from themselves in the first place.

On and on I repeated the same points. Though I am not in much contact with my brothers now, but I still love them very much and I know I can still depend on them when I need to. And it's a big privilege to have siblings to grow up together, rather than alone, being the only child. That is why I went through the hard labor of pregnancy, giving birth, bringing them up just so they have each other. And nothing pains me more than seeing my own kids in hatred. It's ok to have some fights now and then, but that should contain in the home, outside, they need to look out for one another.

Have I got this clear? When will these messages could ever stick to their hearts, minds, brain, blood and soul? Argh!!!!!
