Max called me this morning and cried on the phone. he said that he wanted me to come home...

i was so tempted to go home to hug and kiss him, but i controlled, cannot spoil him, otherwise i would be criticised for showing favouritism.

Max called again a second time and asked him why i have not come back. got to slowly reason with him. He will learn. while talking to him, i was thinking, what would be the trigger point for me to give in to him? i thought about it and i know the answer. if he says, 'mummy, i miss u.' i will fly straight back home. please don't teach him that!
