Yesterday S was in office and me n Ishi were home. It was around noon and we were watching TV. She had enough TV time and I demanded mine. So I changed the channel to watch some culinary show. She surely was bored and started to play by herself. She has this habbit of playing with all things available in the dressing table(hair clips, fancy ear rings, bangles, make up et al) She got me one of the nicest and expensive ear rings and asked me to wear them. I paid ignorance.
After sometimes she came to me complaining that she lost one ear ring. I was so pissed off at that moment (which I ideally should not be)that I scolded her and gae her hostile looks. Poor thing she was so visibly shaken that she asked me not to shout at her. I told her not to play with such things again in future. She again asked me not to talk about it and asked me to hug her. Poor thing she was crying so much that when I hugged her she held on to me so dearly and just did not leave me.
What she spoke afterwards made me feel shameful of what I did to her. She said that she does not want her foot wear, toys, bangles, books anything but she wants just me and her dad to her. She meant to say that her parents are teh only thing that matters to her. I just did not know what to say. What she spoke then was just tooo much for her age and unexpected. I felt so shameful about how I scolded her for just a small thing which I can afford to buy. All I wanted to convey her was to be careful about the possessions but the way I tried to do it was bad.
Lesson learnt my little princess. Heartfelt sorry to you indeed. Just could not have a better daughter than you in my life !!
