Happy Monday Memes

Dominique Thoughts meet me on monday, Monday Music Moves Me

Last weekend was a rather stressful one as I was busy searching high and low for Tiger girl’s shoe. She has been learning how to walk and needed to wear her one and only pair of shoes out. I could only find the right shoe even though I’ve search the whole shoe cabinet where we kept all the shoes. I kept on thinking where the other shoe could be and was certain that it should be somewhere in the house. However the shoe went missing till I found it among the toys in the boy’s room this morning. Whew!! Shoe is finally found.

Here is one of my favourite Xmas songs- Santa Baby

SOC: Feeling Left Out

Tiger girl is 14 months old now. She is getting really demanding and wants to participate in the activities and games that her brothers do. They are constantly complaining about their sister wreaking their toy set up and trying to muscle her way in front of the computer when they are on it. I guess that she doesn’t want to be left out and wants to participate in everything that her brothers are doing.

I feel that it must be human nature to want to have company and not be left out. I too feel like that sometimes. It’s like when you see pictures of your friends having a fun night out and you have a tinge of envy as you are not able to do so. There is no one to mind the 3 kids and it’s impossible to get a sitter to take care of them at night. I sometimes wish that I could be able to join them and feel left out as no one “dated” me out for a girls night out.

Or the time when you see photos of friends/family having fun in some exotic place and you feel like you should be able to enjoy visiting such a place too – Only if we had the funds for it.

It is a nice feeling – the feeling of being left out even though it may not be deliberate.

How do you cope with such feelings and help your child deal with it?
