Dampening Moment....

Sunday (06/09/09) evening, Aaron’s parents suggested bringing the girls to Raffles Town Club for swimming. I thought it was great and agreed. I knew Aaron would go but did not think he would be much of a problem, since they ever joined them to swim once without me, and it went fine (at least that’s what I thought).

I did not swim as I experienced some inconvenience, thus I stayed to look after the belongings. I was reading my book when I heard a shout. I recognized the voice. It was Aaron. My experiences tell me that he must be shouting at Dinah. I was right.

I tried calling Dinah over but his mother was comforting her. I did not know what they are talking but I did manage to get Dinah over. I asked her what had happened, halfway explaining she cried.

As a mother’s stand, her crying will break my heart. I comforted her and reassured her that I will try to avoid similar incident from happening, despite I know it might not be easy. Apparently Dinah wanted the ball which Natasha was holding. While Dinah was snatching, he snapped and shouted at her to leave Natasha alone.

I did not know whether his bad mood stem from seeing me or he just wants to vent his frustration on Dinah. Either the reason, I don’t care. I just know that it is best that Dinah avoids him as much as possible.

I guess in the future it will be best that Dinah doesn’t join them, especially when Aaron is in. They can’t predict his stormy moods let alone protect my girls. When face with his moods swing, they can only ask us to tolerate and be mindful in the future to watch out for his changes. Which I find it ridiculous, how an adult can expect kid to know his moods when they as his parents can’t even do so……..

Nonetheless, I know it is useless arguing with them, as their stands are deeply rooted. So the next alternatives will be avoidance…………….
