Food Bribery

Bribery. It’s such a bad word but as a “normal” parent, I do that sometimes. It’s more like food bribery to my kids when we are “out of ideas” how to “take control” of the situation. But our bribery is harmless, not like those kaya raya people in Thailand who br*be the protesters for months and now at airports.

Nay, I don’t want to talk about politics but only food bribery. I hate to do it, but when we are in a hurry, and if Isabelle is giving us a hard time, we just give in la… If you are a parent who has never done food bribery, I really salute you!!!

My girl refused to wear anything but her Disney princess dress this morning but it’s still in the laundry basket. It’s dirty, so how to wear leh? She refused to let me dress her, and I got mad after coaxing for some time. Then, I started this little statement like “if you get dressed and go downstairs, you can get something special.” There you go, I bribed my little girl just to make things easy for me. Very bad huh? *again, if you have never done this, you are very GENG!*

So, my little girl let me put on a flowery dress for her, and she even let me wrap a cape around her shoulder. It’s chilly and windy today, so her crochet cape is just right for the weather.

See? With that little piece of seaweed in hands, she was even willing to pose for my camera. Ya, food bribery is bad, but not as bad as political bribery. Ooops…no politic….
