Kid vs Adult

When I was a kid, I thought being an adult is awesome.
And now I am an adult, and I think the best time is when I was a kid.

Hahahahahaha... how beautiful life is. Teaching a lesson while we live with it.

Being a kid or an adult having its own perk and precious moments. Also, have its personal challenge and hardship. Don't ever underestimate kids. Put yourself on their shoes, and think. We have been there before. And all of us successfully gone through the phase. Regardless what have you become, but we survived, and here we are today.

It's the journey. The journey of surviving. I just wanna share something about this.

My second child cried this morning when I woke him up for school.

Me: Wake up son, it's 7.30am, u gonna be late
Him: **cried** I don't want to go school today. I'll go on Monday.
Me : ??? **immediately transform into a monster** 😂
Him:**stop crying and continue sleeping**
Me: **Monster now double its size** 👿 What happened, son? Why u don't want to go to school?
Him: **cried** I don't want to write about Lineham Farm **cried**
Me: I don't understand? Explain, please.
Him: Teacher asked everybody to write about Lineham Farm and our activity there on last Monday. **still crying**
Me: Then just write what do u feel about it.
**it is easy to reply when u being a MOMster. I don't think. I just want to make him move to the bathroom**
Him: I don't know how to do it, and we have to do it alone. **crying and crying and crying**

It's turn out to be a long morning session with him. I'm turning from mom to a MOMster and mom and kids and mom again. How confusing I am. No complaint. It ends up with priceless bonding time with him.

Did I mention he is 7 years old? And I am 38 years old. Kid vs. adult. I realised when I was a kid this is the reason why I think it is fantastic being an adult. And now when I have to deal with the situation that I faced years back, trust me it's not easy being a kid or an adult either.

I told him, that's how life goes on. Every day we will face a lot of things, and either we realised it or not we have survived until today. There are ups and down. But we learn to overcome it. Sometimes, somebody is helping us, but sometimes we need to do it alone. Regardless of all those factors, time is running and not waiting even a second for us to move. When it's happened to be at the lowest phase in our life, then we get up and face it. Either it gonna be a success or failure, it's the journey that teaches us.

And I told him "Today u got to go school and do whatever u know. And if u don't know how to do it, Ask your teacher. It is ok either you succeed or failed to write, but one thing for sure, you will learn how to write starting from today. Don't be afraid cause you are not alone. I was there before, Abang too, and both of us sometimes is still facing the same thing."

I'm not sure either he understands or not what I am trying to tell him. But then, we continue to talk and laugh, and I am turning into a monster again when he act like usual he is. We hug, and I told him "I love you son".. and he replied "I love you mom," and he continues after pausing a few seconds "but I still don't know how to write." Hahahahahaha...

Regardless of who we are, all of us have a vulnerable moment. We feel like avoiding it, but we have no choices and holding into that moment does not give any advantages or solve any problems. Believe in yourself, get up, and face it. There will be something waiting for you at the end of it. Either it is a good or bad outcome, u have passed one stage that u believed u can't do it at the beginning of it. If it is a success, it is a bonus but if it is a failure, you are not alone, everybody faces it, don't feel shame. If u see people succeed in life, it is because they successfully overcome their moment, they have their own ups and downs, but they don't stop trying.

It's 10.15 am now. And I already successfully passed my morning challenge today and ready to face another challenge for next years of life. It's not difficult though. But of course, I got into my failure moment also. I become a MOMster and develop morning chaos before I realised "I was there before and here I am today."

**Thanks, son, u teach me a priceless lesson today.
