Gareth Goes to Nanny



Gareth has just started going to a nanny this week. Greg seems to be the happiest person.Well, Greg hasn't been very happy about Gareth staying at home with me while he goes to school. There was once he questioned me...
GREG: Mummy, why do I have to go to school?
ME: You go school to learn new things and to play with your friends. You love your teachers and friends right?
GREG (shook his head): No. I don't want to go school. Why Didi doesn't have to go school?
ME: Didi is still a baby..
GREG: But when I was a baby, I go school also you know.. Why Didi can stay at home with you now? Mummy, you are not working now so maybe I stay at home with you and Didi can?
ME: No. Didi is going Teacher Mabel there and Mummy will start work soon..
GREG: Oh...

Well, Teacher Mabel has been great with Gareth so far, and Greg upon seeing his brother didn't cry when we left him there, he didn't wail for the whole week when I left him at school! Hope Gareth adjust fine at his nanny there, and as for Greg, I do know he has been comparing almost everything (e.g., treatment we give him and his brother) and when there's any perceived unfairness, he will question us nonstop! Aiyo!

On the first day we went to pick Gareth up from the nanny's place,
GREG: Mummy, are we going Teacher Mabel's house now?
ME: Yup. We have to pick Didi up.
GREG: Why Mummy? Why do we have to pick Didi up? I think it'd be better we pick Gareth up only when he grows bigger at Teacher Mabel's house...
ME:???
I still thought he'd have missed his little brother. Apparently, Greg's readily to give his brother to anyone who wants him.Sigh.I have to be extra careful with my behaviours, actions and speech towards my two boys because Greg's extremely sensitive and he could get jealous very easily. Sigh!
