More than meets the eye



Something just does not seem right,call it mother's instinct,clover has been clinging to me like a velcro tape,and it is so extreme,that she is terrified if I just leave the room,she will wail and bang on the toilet door,insisting on me cuddling her,carrying her all the time...Strange when she ought to be closer to the helper,isnt it?Afterall,the helper is there with her 24hrs of the day,whereas the mum is not..Initally,clover used to be quite close to her,seeing her as both caregiver and playmate,running to her with her balls,calling her auntie,but now,that is history,at the most she only stand and watch her,or playing with her only when my hubby or me is around..hmm...If only clover can talk,sigh...On numerous occasions,the helper will prepare way too hot milk or bath for clover,which I managed to stop in the nick of time,teaching her how to test the temperature,yet today ,she did it again,sigh...Came up with the usual reasoning of I did cool down the barley water,Ma'am,hence I told her to try it out on her wrist,she too was taken aback by how hot it is...goodness,I am not always around to monitor her,my assistant has now become my worry,what a headache...I told myself to be patient and give in to her request of advance salary,earlier off-day,yet she still sneak out at night and refuse to admit it,gosh,my patience is certainly wearing off...urgh...
