We have another dayoff today but since there are no plans to go out and we are tired from yesterday’s beach trip, we opted to stay at home. My mother’s ward (she is child minding a 3 year old boy who lives on the same building) was dropped off at our apartment at 10 am to my disappointment.

The parents had promised to take care of the boy when they have time and yet they are going out without him again. Part of me was furious at how they ignore the boy’s needs and longing to be with his parents and a very big part is so disappointed that I will never have a quiet time at home today.

You all know how kids are. They play, they bicker, they shout, they scream, they sing, they do things in their own little world. The adults just have to stand back and sigh.
