I really do not want to write about this but I just have to let out my thoughts on this absentee mother of five children left to the care of the grandparents and aunts because the mother is almost always not around either because of work that is not financially rewarding at all. Even if she is, rarely is it seen that she takes good care of her five children. Work is work. There is time for work and there is time for fun but please do not forget that you have FIVE children in need of your love, good attention and good example and proper guidance and your primary responsibility. The grandparents are tired of her lame excuses that “because they are just kids” and yesterday she was heard saying “It’s like you are not used to it (parang di na kayo nasanay” (talking about the kids naughtiness). Often perceived to be lack of concern and taking responsibility since the father has abandoned them. People in the house wants peace and harmony yet the kids cannot often hold on to that. The grandmother is really stressed out. The mother walks out of the house as early as she can and comes home as late as she can. Yet it does not sound financially rewarding. The point is why work when it does not earn enough to feed the children. The kids education have suffered. For me, too much stress every day. I cannot concentrate anymore on my work online coz it is almost always noisy. They cannot be ignored for they always make their presence felt often in a chaotic way. Fighting each other, always hungry when they have just eaten, taking ownership of almost anything in the house. Always wanting food and things and stuff. The other aunt who is working is unreasonably blaming those adults left in the house everyday. The aunt does not realize the stress experienced everyday. Good for her coz she just lock herself in her room and do not spend much time to watch on the children. Do not judge coz the aunt is not there in the house a lot of time to see for herself. They have an escape going to their own offices. Being with the kids when they are at their naughty mood is no easy task especially when it happens every single day. There has been no peace for the last eight months. Truly missed the peace and quiet before. To the mother, do not teach your children to fight back when they are hurt. What kind of mother would teach her kids bad things. Do not hurt your children too. Spanking them at circumstances you could have taken responsibility for can be avoided if you have thought of your responsibility. Crosswords and being stuck in the TV the whole day while letting the two eldest children take responsibility over the younger siblings. This absentee mother tends to forget that her children hurt each other because of what she said about fighting back. The sister next to her would not believe it for the absentee mother denies what she does like hurting her kids. Grow up as you should have been a good example to your younger siblings and your children especially.
Like today, she left so early and it’s almost 12mn and she is not home yet. She just come here to sleep or if she has time scold her children or get stuck in the TV on PDA.
Since she cannot help financially, hope is that she helps in the house chores. But she cannot even wash her underwear as I was told. Frustrating? No more comment. It’s hard to talk to the mother because she is often not open and won’t accept things peacefully. Been physically attacked twice by her but have refused to fight back knowing it won’t help her realize at all. Do not make our lives miserable please so be kind and responsible please. You should be helping us and should not be told anymore because these are your children. Shouting and physically hurting them makes matters worse. Open up, accept things and correct them in the right way. Do not add to our troubles. Help yourself and your children. Please reform in the name of the Lord Jesus. Love your children… love us… do not burden your own family nor us. Help us help you. Pride will never help you… humble yourself and accept life and make the most of it.
