Schooling dilemma part 2

The tantrum continued this morning. She slept late last night, after watching Natasha and re rerun of Mr. Bean. Switched off the light but she refused to go bed. She giggled softly in the dark, watching the antics of Mr. Bean.

This morning, I woke her up softly, proceeded to lift her which is akin to dragging her as she is quite heavy for her age. Anis didn't bat an eyelid, in fact her eyes remained shut. It was nearly 7.30am and schoolbus will be arriving anytime from 7.45am onwards.

She refused to give in when I tried peeling off her pyjamas. Instead, she threw her tantrum and refused to enter the bathroom. I just left her there and proceed to kitchen, telling Bibik to pack up her school stuff because ' mak nak hantar balik buku2 ni kat Cikgu Idah, sebab Anis dah tak nak pergi sekolah dah. Pasni, nak cakap dengan Makcik Anom, tak payah ambik Anis lagi sebab Anis dah tak sekolah lagi.'

I heard her cry even louder.

Babah took over. Predictively, Makcik Anom arrived and left without this passenger. She smiled and waved knowingly.

Babah sent Anis to school at 8.20am, a few minutes before school starts for day. I predict the routine will be repeated tomorrow morning.
