Work, on my part, can be really stressful. I always looked forward to coming home to a relaxing day with Jakjak and Judy. But sometimes, even that does not seem possible. And that's when I usually blow my top. I am really bad at handling stress, and sometimes it's Jakjak that gets to be on the receiving end, which is why I am trying my best to get that stress out of my system as fast as possible.
As a father, I can't afford for my son to keep on seeing me as a harassment. I want him to respect me as an authority figure, but at the same time, I don't want him to do it out of fear. It's this striking a balance that sometimes gets frustrating because Jakjak's thin line, is not so thin. I know he understands what I'm trying to say most of the time, but he still manages to push the wrong buttons (whether intentionally or not, I can't really tell).
By far, this will be one of my greatest challenges as a father. But I am going to succeed in this. I want Jakjak to grow up as a gentleman, with respect and with the right state of mind.
