A Coming Back

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wa barakatuhu

This is my come back in blogging arena. I was one of active bloggers last 3 years. On June, 2008 my children and I went to Makkah al-Mukaramah. A week before departure to Makkah, my application to move to Kedah succeed. Thus, the situation is a bit chaos. At the same time, as Head of History Unit , too much things need to be settle out.

I was actually intended to bring my daughter alone to Makkah and leave my son with my husband. But I just can't see he was crying each time her sister said that she will wave her hands to her brother when we took off. Eventually I decided to bring both of them with me. I hope they will understand more about Islam there.

Next time, insha Allah I would like to share some great experiences bring my children to Makkah and Madinah.

We coming back to Malaysia on 4th June, 2008 and on 6th June 2008 I arrived at Kolej MARA Kuala Nerang.
To be honest, I felt never to be active in blogging any longer since it required concentration and of course interest. In fact, too many things need to be settle out in a new place.

However, I was thinking of great ideas and thoughts to be share with some of friends and especially to my own kids. They would probably have the chances to read this blog when they grow up. At least they'll know that their mother is not that bad...in term of ICT application.

This Blog is also dedicated to my nieces ( Wafa Humairah and also Ahad Faris Zafran) esepcially to Faris.

Faris, you have so many people around you who really cares about you. No matter what happened in the future , you'll always be part of the family.

Changing responsibilities

Assalamualaikum warohmatullahi wa barakatuh

Raising children nowadays is not a simple task for parents. During my time, there is no such class which so called the Parenting Class. Only when I studied in the university, i heard about it. Parents are dealing with 'trust' from Allah Almighty. I remember at the first time I knew that I was having a baby.. I had so many dreams of raising my baby in a proper ways.

It was easy when they were still baby but just they entered the school and kindergarten..parents saying are less acceptable by the children. Teachers are always right no matter what the parent say. Sometimes i would say to my kids...ummi also a teacher and they will say nooo!!....teacher said this way. Instead of arguing with them, I just need to let it go.

I started to use my power of negotiation on them by assisting them doing their homework, pretending to be a pupil especially when my daughter acting as a teacher. I was smiling listening to my daughter's instruction to her brother. She always punish her brother even he answered right.. I guess that what happened at school. She assumed the teacher always right and giving punishment.

I realized ... no matter how strong teachers' influenced over my daughter, I need to grab her attention again. I need to concentrate more on her. Not because I am jealous of the teacher but I believed the responsibility of a mother should be more strong compared to a teacher. I still need to form her attitudes in a proper ways, not leaving that task to their teachers alone. Hopefully, I can fulfill my task a amother to grow her according to Islam until the responsibility transfer to a new member of our small world... her husband.
