Colours of my Life

You'll never know what's the future has in store for you. I used to pictured myself as a career woman once. But now, I'm a 24/7 housewife and mom. I managed to work for 2 years though, but lost my job at 6m pregnancy with my 1st child. Since it's so tough to get a new job, I'm just better off at home.

The minute I held & cradle my baby for the 1st time, I couldn't imagine anything that could held me back from being there besides her throughout her growing years. Not for a split second I thought of leaving home for a carrier life anymore.

So that's when my never ending story as a mom begins.. Despite all the hardship I went through raising my kids, I still can stood tall and proudly announce I'm a mom of 2 adorable kids. Never did it occur to my mind that I regretted leaving behind all my years of studying and working. My kids meant more than that.

It's one tough job being a mom n raising your own kids. Every mom has a different story to share. Different child has a different tantrums that will later developed into their personality... I'm still, and forever will be learning and challenging myself to becoming a far more better mom. Many tips I learned and would gladly to share with other moms out there..

Give Kids some Time-out

If you're really on the verve of swaying those anger on your kids tantrums, play it safe and smart.

For any misbehavior done, apply a time-out on them. When kids start to disobey the don't s rules, carry them to a corner inside the house. Leave them over a timer of 2mins, 5mins, 10mins, 12mins or anytime that suits best. Remind  them and let them be by themselves for a while. Just to rethink about those misbehaves done. They might be awkward at 1st, being applied those time-outs. But it's safer and more efficient than hitting or yelling.

However, I personally disagree with parents applying time-outs, -outdoors. They are lots of kids snatchers out there nowadays. These professionals could even snatch kids right under their parents' nose. Kids, when given a time-out outside the house appears like a 'delicious appetizer' for them. You won't want to take risks that will be regretted for your life.


There is another safe alternative for grumpy parents with misbehaved kids like me. Whenever they accidentally do something that might pissed you off, just hug them tightly and utter 'I Love You' till your anger subsides. Then again, explain them of their wrong doings. It is more important to seed those love bonds between a mom and her child during childhood times, rather blooming anger and hatred inside them.


I wasn't a good kid myself during my childhood. Often, cane marks on my limbs, slap marks on my cheeks. Those are just some of the values I choose not to inherit to my kids. Some parents do practice 'soft violence' by caning those naughty kids with a damp, rolled up cloth. It doesn't hurt as much as canes or hangers, but you might accidentally cane their sensitive areas such as eyes, nose, ears or genitals. As parents, I'm sure you won't want to be the cause to any fatal injuries on your kids, so go for a better and safer option to train your kids.
