Teacher Appreciation Week里,孩子们也为老师写了一张卡片,连同他们偷偷做给老师的各种手工制品一起,交给热泪盈眶的老师。卡片上写的是孩子式的最简单的词句:“ Thank you for you took the time to love us, and to teach us. ”
money is not the most important thing. one comments to the worriedwoman, after 3 to 4 years, you may forever lose the great mother-child relationship with your older kid. i've seen so many examples.

Thank you so much. I don’t know what to say now, just let me tears wash my face and re-experience what had happened in the past 2-3 years. We truly have so many obligations as an adult, but sometimes those either could be, or could not be, my excuses to lay back my duty as a mom. It is such a pain. I want my son can have a sibling in US, but once the new life is coming soon, I will have to send the little baby back to China again; what a miserable cycle!
You are right, although I had missed my little E so much, I still could not help saying bad words and feel tired of him when he did wrong from time to time. It is so easy to forget the tears, forget what I had told myself that I would love him the most and the best no matter what…
I am trying to bring up a solution for our families to keep everybody together now. Actually it is just an issue of money. $2K to $2.5K nanny fee is too expensive for us, if so, I’ll have to cut my son’s afterschool and other classes. I am a little confused if I should educate them one by one at present. I am still in the training period of my job, but in another 3-4 years, I will have adequate money to give them whatever. So may I ask you some (silly) questions, should I let my two boys stay together and love each other firstly? should I compensate only what I owed to my older son firstly? Or should I keep my little baby here despite of my most needed-- time?
I know our family will have a very good life in 3-4 years, but it seems so far away meanwhile. To pursue a better life (or money) is endless in reality.
I’ve followed your blog for 5 months. In the past several weeks, I was so disappointed that I could not see your beautiful words.
Today, when I was listening to “yellow roses” and reading how your little A J. grew up in his 1st grade, I cried.
For the reason of my career, I had to send my son back to China in the past 3 years, and he will go to kindergarten this fall. I am so worried about him now. I imaged that your little A J. was my little E…
I am gonna give birth to my 2nd son next week, while my little E is in China again with my families, because I need more time to take care of the newborn. I feel so sorry for my little E. Although I finally got what I wanted in my career, I found out I lost the chance to give the best education to my little E.
I wish my little E could have a good teacher like your daughter’s…
Re:"她表演的节目是爱尔兰吉格舞 (Iris Jig Dance) ,出乎我意料的是,她跳得好极了!可我根本不知道她会跳舞,更不知道她会在台上边跳边快乐地欢笑。阿小J 她真地长大了。"
Just a few days ago, my kid surprised us this way, too. Afterwards we regreted that no camercorder was brought to school.
Like your writing very much: it's humorous (难不成表演跑步么?) and thoughtful.
(just one suggestion: can you turn off the music? i like the music but not those who happen to be around me--i am not in a corner office by myself)
