After the bad day and the talk with the 2 Es yesterday, situation has improved slightly today.
Firstly, the adult E – my domestic helper. Before going to bed last night, I was totally prepared to receive a resignation letter from her. She is one with very high pride, and with that talk last night, I really thought she won’t be able to take it and will resign. On my end, her rudeness is simply getting out of hand, and no matter how good she is, I don’t think I deserve such manners. Apparently, she didn’t tender resignation. Ok, good.
Next, my son Mr E. He is trying to work on his weakness. I constantly remind him, and he too, put it into practise.
Lastly, me. How can all fingers be point at others right? I know I’m at fault too. I have to be less of a control freak. I have been thinking of the issue between Mr E and I, and the few things that come to my mind are:
- Mr E is no longer just a baby. He is growing up, and has a will of his own. Where moral and safety is concern, I have to continue to set a firm boundary, for other things, I just have to let go, and allow him to learn from his own little mistakes, and give him space to venture out.
- Mr E is afterall, a boy growing up to be a man, while, I am a woman! Didn’t they say “Man is from Venus, Woman from Mars”? Probably, some issues we have with each other simply got to do with the fact that, he is a male, and me a female!
- Mr E has his own emotion and feelings – while of course, I have mine too. We got to respect each other’s emotions and feelings, and give each other space to air it out. And me, as an adult, has to help him channel his anger in a proper way. Like what Sam said, just ‘leave him alone’.
In a nutshell:::
It all boils down to “Interpersonal Relationship Under One Roof.”
