I think he's got it from me more than Amrith. A few things that Joel does reminds me of the times when I was a kid throwing a tantrum just to get my way or get a new toy. It was always followed by a smack in public, loads of tears and this major feeling that parents and people don't love or like me.
That view changed after a lot of years. I'm glad that it did.
In Joel's case, it's just the beginning. Although he's got more pats than smacks from me, he does seem to get on Nanna's nerves. He's got a few discplinary whacks from Abu and Nanna. It breaks my heart that he has to receive it from them. They don't like dishing it out either.
I just hope that he doesn't turn sour for years together like I did.
Joel's done great this last week when I've been away to Kerala. Abu too had been to Bangalore. Thankfully, he didn't fall ill nor has he got any spankings.
I think I'm spoiling him rotten. He's got a cold and runny nose since yesterday. Thanks to the drive to Manipal to see Acha and the ice cream on the way back.
