Boys- can't stand them

Last Sunday we decided to go for a picnic near our house as the boys were still not feeling well. We packed some salad and brought some water along. Just when we were about to leave, the boys played with their rubber bouncing ball and broke the window pane. They had broken also the big glass pane on top of the window. We would have to inform the owner and asked him to come and repair the broken glass. Joe was extremely angry with the boys as he had warned them not to play at the patio but they ignored him and turned a deaf ear to his warnings. The boys received a scolding and we did not do anything drastic. Somehow they will have to pay back with no more outside food. The whole family will have to save up the amount spent on the repair.

After that, we went out to buy subway sandwiches as lunch and went to the park in Ashbury. After about 2 hours of fun at the park, we decided to go shopping at Aldi. Just when we were about to get into the car, Charles said he had soiled his pants. He was not feeling well so we did not scold him and we came back.

Sunday night we did not go out to celebrate Father's day as children were not behaving well. We told them to hurry up and get ready but they simply bochap. Ended up we stayed at home and eat instant noodles with mixed vegetables. Joe was feeling really upset with the boys. They simply very immature and always get into trouble. Charlynn made Father's day card for Joe but the boys did nothing. I bought 2 camping chairs for Joe so that we could sit and relax at the backyard.

Yesterday I woke up late and by the time the children got out of bed, it was already 8.30am. We rushed through with breakfast and rushed to school. Charlynn said she managed to order lunch before the bell rang. Channery and I went shopping and bought a lot of foodstuff. We also bought a cap from Salvos for Joe as Channery had lost his cap. The new cap cost only $1 and it is really quite nice. when we reached home, I quickly cleaned up the house. I was afraid the owner would come and see what a mess the house is in. Ended up Joe did not managed to contact the agent. The house as usual become rather messy after a while when they came back after school. So much so for cleaning up. Joe brought the kids to the park and I tagged along as I only wanted to cook Sphgetti for dinner. When we reached there, a boy was playing with his father and they asked if they could join the twins, the boys refused to play with them. What a letdown and we really felt very embarrassed by their behaviour. We could not understand why they are so selfish and self-centred. Since they refused to play with others, we could not do anything except giving them a lecture.

With boys behaving like this, we know they will have a hard time in life when they grow up. Well! We cannot be there for them forever, if they will experience life the hard way, so be it. We will not depend on them nor they receive any help from us. who knows what tomorrow will bring?
