I am so bored right now. Everyone is asleep ...i am still up as i had had a long nap this afternoon ...adik is coughing ...i can hear him coughing ....mum and i had given him his cough syrup just now ....guessbthe medicine takes time to do what it is supposed to do ....
Do you find it hard to give medicines to kids? With their wriggling? With their cries? Well, Al is worst ...we always have problem giving him any medication since he was a little tot ...when he has fever and the temperature shosot up, we always resort to rectal paracetemol ...anything other than oral medicines for him ....but adik is a bit different ...he is ok with paracetemol syrup, especially the cherry flavoured one ....my mum just show him the bottle and he would willingly take the medicine ...but he is not fond of antibiotics ...and his cough syrup ....now that he is a big boy, we i.e. Mum and i found it harder to get him to take his meds ...one person has to distract him and hold his hands, while the other feed him the meds ...
My dad and my brother are only watching or giving us instruction ...the reason is that they are unwilling to become the bad guy ...the one who force the kiddos to take the meds ....Jane, is also the same ...but during emergencies, she would help mum with the meds ....so, the bad guys are always me and mum ....
I remembered when we were little, i am one of those person who hate to take my meds ...i still do! But coz i was such a skinny kid (hard to believe ehhh) i was advised to take vitamins ....so, my dad would put the vitamin inside a banana ...and my brother and i would eat our banana not knowing that the bananas were spiked with vitamins ...lol ....tried itvwith Al ...he absolutely refused to eat his banana coz he saw my dad put "something" in the banana ...hehehehehe we also tried diluting the cough syrup or paracetemol syrup in his formula ...in cirdial drinks ...but he still knows and thus refusing to take it ....
It is funny now but in desperate times we really are at the loss as to how to get him taking his meds ...any idea anyone?

aku pun tak suka ubat ...but masa nak bagi ubat kat adik and al very hard work ...selain kejar2, kena restrain diorang and then force makan ubat ...pastu diorang letih, kiter pun letih ...last2 semua jadi cranky
