Kesel deh

Pagi ini kesel deh. masalahnya, Jojo nakal banget. Gue lagi pangku Bas sambil bukain baju dia karena mau mandi. Jojo dan Luna ikutan bantuin. Then, setelah kaos Bas terlepas, gue Jojo langsung ambil.....lari... dan masukkan kaos itu ke tong sampah!

Gue udah teriak2 bilang jangan, tapi ga bisa bangun kejar dia karena pangku Bas dan Luna juga senderan di kaki gue. Duh, kepala gue sampe ubun2 rasanya berasap dan keluar tanduk ama buntut... marah banget. Gue serahin Bas ke susternya, Jojo gue jewer, masukkin ke kamar dan tutup pintunya. Jojo langsung nangis. Dia emang takut ditinggal sendiri di kamar. 2 menit kemudian, gue masuk kamar dia masih nangis. Udah saking keselnya, gue gendong dan tepok pantatnya 2 kali..plok...plok... dan tanya dia kenapa baju dimasukkan ke tong sampah? memangnya Jojo ga tahu kalo baju masuk ke ember, bukan ke tong sampah? ya dia cuma nangis sambil bilang "pipis".

Ternyata dia nangis sambil pipis. Jadilah baju dan celana gue kena basah sedikit. Gue dah telat banget ke kantor. Kaga keburu ganti baju, cuma tenangin dia sampai ga nangis lagi, trus gue tinggal ke kantor.

Masalahnya semalam waktu gue pulang kantor, dia juga masukkan tissue gulung ke tong sampah. Kira2 masih ada seperempat sebelum habis gulungan. Gue juga ngeliatnya dari lembaran tissue yang menjuntai keluar dari tutup sampahnya. Gue dah ngurut2 dada, cuma bilangin ke Jojo, ga pakai marah.

Pagi ini sih beneran kesel. Gue suka ngajarin dia buang sampah ke tong sampah. Seharusnya dia demen buang barang ke sana bukan karena ga pernah dikasi kesempatan untuk buang sampah. Anyway, gue masih terheran2 sendiri. Kenapa koq demen banget semua barang dibuang ke sana. Baju udah beberapa potong pernah dibuang. Baju dia sendiri kek, baju Luna, sekarang baju Bas. Mainan, tissue, sandal,dll... listnya panjang banget.

Semalam, suster Bas malah nanya apa gue lihat salah satu teether Bas. Udah dicariin 2 hari koq ga nemu. Dia khawatir dibuang Jojo ke tong sampah. Once again, gue cuma narik napas pusing. Ga fair juga nuduh karena kita ga lihat sendiri tapi dengan track record Jojo yang demikian, dengan mudahnya gue berpikir 'pasti jojo yang buang'

Apa ini termasuk fase terrible two ya? gue juga ga percaya mendidik anak dengan pukulan. Tapi rasanya semua teori yang gue baca suka tiba2 menguap pas lihat mereka nakal (terutama Jojo deh). Dulu juga sempet pengen nyoba narik napas dan ngitung 1 sampe 10 biar gue ga langsung marah2. Well, kenyataannya di kondisi marah begitu, narik napas aja lupa apalagi ngitung 1 sampe 10.

Padahal setiap kali gue marah banget, setelahnya gue pasti menyesal sendiri. Koq ga bisa menahan emosi....namanya juga anak2....selain itu, anak2 kan sebetulnya manis .... dll..... Seperti pagi ini, sambil nyetir sendiri, udah nyesel, pelan2 narik napas dan berusaha kaga ngebut walau susah. Soalnya ada jadwal meeting pagi sama customer.

Curhatnya gue tutup dengan cerita menarik. Saking menariknya, gue suka ceritain ke diri sendiri kalo pas bete begini.

WHY GOD CREATED CHILDREN

To those of us who have children in our lives, whether they are our own, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, or students...here is something to make you chuckle.

Whenever your children are out of control, you can take comfort from the thought that even God's omnipotence did not extend to His own children.

After creating heaven and earth, God created Adam and Eve. And the first thing he said was "DON'T!"

"Don't what?" Adam replied.

"Don't eat the forbidden fruit." God said.

"Forbidden fruit? We have forbidden fruit? Hey Eve...we have forbidden fruit!!!!!"

"No Way!"

"Yes way!"

"Do NOT eat the fruit!" said God.

"Why"

"Because I am your Father and I said so!" God replied, wondering why He hadn't stopped creation after making the elephants.

A few minutes later, God saw His children having an apple break and He was ticked!

"Didn't I tell you not to eat the fruit?" God asked.

"Uh huh," Adam replied.

"Then why did you?" said the Father.

"I don't know," said Eve.

"She started it!" Adam said

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"DID NOT!"

Having had it with the two of them, God's punishment was that Adam and Eve should have children of their own. Thus the pattern was set and it has never changed. BUT THERE IS REASSURANCE IN THE STORY!

If you have persistently and lovingly tried to give children wisdom and they haven't taken it, don't be hard on yourself.

If God had trouble raising children, what makes you think it would be a piece of cake for you?

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT!

1. You spend the first two years of their life teaching them to walk and talk. Then you spend the next sixteen telling them to sit down and shut up.

2. Grandchildren are God's reward for not killing your own children.

3. Mothers of teens now know why some animals eat their young.

4. Children seldom misquote you. In fact, they usually repeat word for word what you shouldn't have said.

5. The main purpose of holding children's parties is to remind yourself that there are children more awful than your own.

6. We childproofed our homes, but they are still getting in.

ADVICE FOR THE DAY: Be nice to your kids. They will choose your nursing home one day.

AND FINALLY: IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF TENSION AND YOU GET A HEADACHE, DO WHAT IT SAYS ON THE ASPIRIN BOTTLE:

"TAKE TWO ASPIRIN" AND "KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN"

Have a wonderful day!
