Back in Singapore and enjoying my time without Charlotte now. My brother has brought her to the newly opened SuperPark, leaving me with time to myself. My patience with Charlotte is getting close to zero these days. I hate it when she throws a tantrum especially in the morning before I can even fully wake up. Just like this morning. She started kicking and screaming non stop even after I told her nicely that I didn't like her to cry the first thing in the morning. I got so angry that I started hitting her the moment I opened my eyes. Despite that, Charlotte never learns. She'll forget about it very soon and the next moment, she will be throwing tantrums again.
With my low tolerance, I also hate it when things will ultimately lead to this. Whenever we are in Singapore, Charlotte tends to over tire herself and go crazy when she really can't take it. It doesn't help when we are constantly on the go to meet people. As much as I would like to meet as many people as possible, I always try to have a downtime for Charlotte to take a rest in the afternoon. I think it is better for my sanity. If someone else is going to bear the brunt of her craziness when she's tired, I really don't care. But it is never the case. This is something Derrick never learns too.
Whenever we visit his side of the family, everyone gets super tired because of their unearthly sleeping habits. My mil wakes up at 12noon. The time Charlotte will go to nap if she has nothing to do. So we always end up disrupting her nap time. Even Derrick himself look so tired all the time whenever we try to accommodate. If I'm the one bringing Charlotte over, I will definitely just state a morning time regardless if she can wake up or not. I mean come on, is 10am very early? Not as if we are meeting somewhere. Just going to her house! After so many years, I still have no idea why he doesn't dare to speak up to her or ask for her help. She's like the "queen". Well I guess it's hard to change one's lazy habits at the age of 60. On the hind sight, I wouldn't mind having 2 boys like Derrick and his brother. I think she did well training her kids as a mother. I'm pretty sure I'll end up as Charlotte's slave instead. I should ask for tips. I'm as lazy as her but why don't I enjoy such privilege?
