WHOA, SOMEONE CALLED ME A B*TCH

Hmm, there's a first time for everything. Maybe that's why I'm a little amused at the idea of having my first nasty comment ever since I erm... 'dabbled' in this whole blogging-and-getting -online business. Because it's inevitable, right?

A couple of months ago, I uploaded this video on Nunu's blog and made fun of it a little. The story behind the video was, she disobeyed me despite my repeated warnings to not touch the glasses. So, she was scolded, and for the love of God, I didn't beat the girl with a stick or something! And at the end of the video, she kissed my hand to show me how she was sorry and kissed my cheek to end it all. So suddenly this splengh fella came and dropped a comment at my youtube video about me probably being one of those whackjob moms who enjoy torturing their children, fuahhhh I'm a little shocked, but I'm curious too.

So, I don't know, probably I should have just ignored this stupid comment (just like those other comments I'm getting from Nunu's minah rempit video) , since I know for sure it's not true at all, and this guy probably just have misconstrued opinions about moms in general. Still, I felt like shooting this guy a nice message:

"wow, thanks for your comment for my video, and making such a quick judgment of what a lousy mother i am from just one video.
oh don't worry, i can take your criticism, because hey, i know for sure i'm not the person you think i am.
but to tell a mom she prolly doesn't deserve her child, that's just plain mean.
i wonder if you take some time to look at the other videos of my daughter before you make that comment?"

I wasn't expecting an apology or something, but I was hoping that this guy would have the decency to look at the other videos I have of Nunu which showed how much totally in LOVE I am with Nunu, and NO she's not an emotionally abused kid. Not that his opinion worth anything to me, anyway.

So, I am more amused when I got the second and even NASTIER comment from him! I know, I was practically asking for it :)

Haha, this guy doesn't even understand a word of Malay, doesn't even know what was happening in the video, doesn't even read my blog, and here he is telling me MY Nunu is precious (like I don't know that?!) and someone can steal her from me (choychoy, I hope only Allah can take her away from me!)

Then I thought, confirm this dude is psycho. I ni memang gatal tangan shot him another message:

"gee, i don't know what your problem is, dude, but i pity you alright."

I even went through the trouble and clicked on similarly tagged videos and on most videos of kids being scolded or punished, this guy came riding on his high horse and telling these people off to pick someone their own size! Some of the videos are a little disturbing, but hey, now I know where his energy rolling from, lol.

At a glance, yeah I do believe that people can get the wrong impression when they see a crying kid and an adult's harsh voice in the background. From another person's view, their hearts go for the kid, heck, when I look at the video again and again, I feel sorry for Nunu myself! But that was how I carried out my disciplinary action at the time, and I don't know about mothers out there, I feel bad every time I have to do it. I don't enjoy reprimanding, and I'm not especially proud when I think I carried out the punishment well. Sometimes, we do the time-out, give them the look, dish out empty threats - most of the time, expecting to elicit a remorseful look from them at least, as a sign that they DO understand the consequences of their misbehavior, all hoping that our actions does not shatter their self worth and their love for us.

Right now, we have found a way to get Nunu under our submission fast, that is the threat of being flicked with the rubber band. Whenever at home, a wear a whole bunch of 'em getah on my wrists, and if she misbehaves, I'll just show her my arm "Cantik tak getah Mama?" and she would go "Tak mau. Tak mau getah". Macam allergic gitu :)

Haha, Cicakgirl indeed.
