Autobots, Roll Out!!

Aah, the day has come for me to move my family out of my in-laws..

We are planning to purchase a small condo, as my BIL is getting married, so we are letting him move into the family home instead (and pay the lion's share of the bills, hahaha..)

As my wife is preparing to get back to work, I just found out how impractical it is for her to commute from work whilst at the same time fetch my kids from the nursery. Now, she does all the fetching simply because she gets off work earlier than I do.

My MIL failed miserably in her test to take care of both her grandchildren single-handedly, which to be fair is a mammoth task only accomplished so far by my dearly beloved wife. So, we have to contract a nursery to keep a tab on my two children while we’re off working, and thankfully there’s a good one near where we used to stay in Putra Perdana.

So we decided to test out the daily arrangements by running a pilot today in anticipation of my wife’s first day back to the office on Thursday.

What do you know, a mere glimpse of the nursery gate sent my two year old son into complete hysteria as he wailed in protest..

Even telling him that he was in charge of his little sister didn’t seem to work as he steadfastly held onto the front passenger seat, not wanting to get out off the car. The look on his face was pure unmistakable dread, and I sure hope he doesn’t remember this when I grow old and in need of tending to.. : (

He was still screaming when I handed him over to the caretaker, and I thought that was that only to discover I couldn’t move due to an irrepresible force yanking on my shirt and hair.. Oh, goodness me..

I was weeping inside to see my little boy in that state of despair, but I did read somewhere that goodbyes are supposed to be swift and neat, so I kissed my boy’s cheek and told him that dad’s gonna take him on a motorbike ride in the afternoon and said goodbye.

I hope he doesn’t take me to task on that..
