Vesshnu and Vitesh

Two cutie pies


Vitesh finally got a place in Sarada Kindergarten. The teachers were happy to see Vesshnu. Alice who was his music teacher is a the Vice Principal and Pushpa is the Principal. I'm very happy to see the both of them taking on the new roles. I could see Vesshnu too is excited to see his little brother going to "his" school.


Yesterday, something strange happened. Vesshnu said he is beginning to dislike his brother because of the maid. I was kind of puzzle. So, I asked him over and again what was really bothering him. Finally he broke. It seems, my maid doesn't allow Vesshnu to do anything for Vitesh. Guess, my maid wants to do things herself for her convenience. When children take up responsibility, it can turn messy. So, when he is angry or upset with the maid, he shows to his little brother.

I asked him, what will it be like if I showed the same tantrum to him when I'm angry or upset with people around me. So, finally he agreed that he will change provided he can have more responsibilities to take care his brother. We wants to feed, make milk and do other things for his cutie pie.


I told the maid to allow him to do whatever he likes but if he messes up, let me know instead of telling him off.


It's a reflection....when we grow up our mom, we help her take care our siblings in some way. Yet, as we grow up, the sibling have difference and sometimes they draw apart or even break their ties.

Nowadays children grow up with maids more than parents. As a parent, I'm try my best to give undivided attention when I'm at home. I wonder whether there will be love and understanding between siblings when they are adult. What is going to happen to future?


I'm glad that Vesshnu has a matured mind to identify his faults and able to voice out to me. I'm proud of him...
