Jerry is the gentleman.
the other day when the fight happened, the husband and me were in discussion on the topic while strolling to the nearby mall to grab some necessities.
and the husband went….
d: i think jerry is quite the gentleman.
c: why?
d: because… 君子动口不动手。 (literally translated as “the gentlemen uses his mouth instead of his hands” but meant to mean that the gentlemen would reason rather than fight)
c: …… *roll eyes*
d: ya what! he didn’t hit other people what. he bit the girl, so he used his mouth right?
please tell me it’s a pain to deal with my husband sometimes.
we sorta concluded that the fight must have been triggered by toys, especially since jerry is of the age where he says “share share!!” but isnt able to fully grasp the meaning of it (like an internal turmoil where he knows but cannot put into action accurately). i have since confirmed it with the school when i sent him there yesterday morning.

Hi there! Thanks for popping by. I'm Cherie, a ftwm (full-time working mum) to 3 lovely kids (2 boys & a princess) and my motto in life is to BE HAPPY. Sure, life isn't all that smooth but it's the mentality that counts, no? This blog documents my life. Or rather, snippets of my life that has passed me by. I love capturing life memories in the blog and being able to read back and laugh at myself (or anyone). I love to eat (A LOT), travel and paint my own nails so the blog is mostly about that. Is that considered lifestyle? Of cos, the family is also very much an integral part of me so there would be loads of memories about the husband and my kids - Jerry (9yo), Jerome (7yo) and Leia (2.5yo) and everyone else that's close to me. I like documenting the kids' milestones, their growing up years, their achievements (and sometimes, mine), and my struggles and battles with motherhood. It sure ain't easy. I love seeking out good food and travelling, is trigger-happy, love new gadgets, love exploring new places and strives to live life to the fullest. I aspire to travel the world as much as I can, to soak in the different sights across the various continents and visit all the Disneylands in the world (almost there!). Have fun reading and do drop me a comment to say hi! Love, Cherie Lim Find me on Instagram.
