Kids are very sensitive and that may cause the less favoured to rebel.

If you can't sleep with the light on, that is indeed your problem.

See what tone he is using.. sometimes my anak perempuan also like that one.. but i know she likes to joke .. unless it is in a serious tone or sarcastic tone, then I will feel "bitten" by the remark... but it is advisable that we explained our hurt to them (kids)... let them know we are "jolted" with their remarks..Reanaclairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01716477622054835019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3478579008798883580.post-81941955182703703222011-11-14T12:55:38.505+08:002011-11-14T12:55:38.505+08:00I always swore that my mum loved my older siblings...I always swore that my mum loved my older siblings instead of me.

Once we were back in the hometown and without my knowledge, his dad got him quite a powerful one from a small shop. I was extremely crossed when I found out. I refused to let him bring back to KL. With tears, he told me :"BUT I STILL WANT TO". Suddenly I felt that I he's not going to listenYuinTinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00953648909204847790noreply@blogger.com
