Sometimes, it annoys me when I hear my baby cry so hard. He seems to manipulate me by crying so hard to get what he wants. I don’t want to say this and I don’t intend to compare, but Kuya Marc wasn’t like this when he was at Baby Matt’s age. I don’t want to give in to his whinings but I’m guilty sometimes because I get so irritated so I just give in.

I remember when we ate at a fastfood chain, and I asked him not to play with the hand dryers, he cried at once, and I could not do anything to stop him from wailing.

It worries me sometimes thinking that this may affect his emotional development. I’m afraid I might spoil him. Sometimes I don’t know what to do anymore. When he starts crying so hard, Kuya Marc will get mad and start shouting and crying, too. And sometimes, when I can’t do anything anymore, I just join them and cry also. Char!
