i really have a tendency to spoil my kids. sometimes i give in to what they want even if it’s not really good for them for i really love seeing their eyes twinkling and their smiles flashing at me whenever they are delighted. i love hearing them laugh. i love the way they hug me when they are happy.

I still recognize the need to set limits though. I have to let them realize that they cannot have anything they want and not everything will go the way they want them to.

It’s hard for me to close my eyes to the tantrums marc throws when he doesn’t get what he wants. But though it pains me to see him crying and the thought of his breath holding spells scares me (he holds his breath for so long till he turns blue), I just let him cry till the time he accepts that I won’t really give in. and after that, I just give him something that may fascinate him and make him forget about what he was crying for.

Love really must be tough. It’s hard, but it really has to be tough. Sometimes, love is not all about giving all the things to make your beloved happy, but providing him what in reality is good for him.
