I admit that occasionally I get frustrated when it comes to Niko; most of the time it involves food or telling him not to do something because he keep on doing it. I can handle the screaming and crying.
When I do get frustrated, I turn into the Incredible Hulk! I am just kidding on that one. I know when it happens, Niko and Nina notice it and so do I.
Last Friday night, I was absolutely exhausted when I came home from work, but I still took care of Niko by feeding him dinner, bathing him, getting him dressed for nighttime, and putting him in the crib for nighttime. About an hour after I put him down for sleep and as soon as I finally finished doing everything in the kitchen and sat down on the sofa to write on my laptop and eat dinner, he was still awake, bobbing his head up and down, and he was saying food! I can’t just leave him alone and hope he will goto sleep, I have to take care of him; he is my son. Without even thinking, I dropped my mouse and laptop; not gently if you get my drift. My mouse’s batteries popped out and my laptop screen busted. Was I upset? Yes. Was it stupid and childish what I did? Yes. Luckily, I backed up my laptop hard-drive to my external hard-drive on April 28th because I was using our iMac more instead of my laptop. Did I do this on purpose? I don’t know. My laptop was about 3 years old and was bottom of the line price wise at $350. I have been contemplating trying to sell it for a few bucks since I started using the iMac. Tomorrow, I will give it to my parents so they can drop it off at a computer company near them to sell it to them.
The good thing is, I am doing better at controlling my emotions as there is no reason to get frustrated. Happy daddy equals happy Niko and happy wife!
I already told Nina that I won’t drop her MacBook Air! See, I learned my lesson.
