<![CDATA[Auntie Naggy]]>I used to be a quiet person and considered myself as one with great endurance but now I find myself nagging most of the time! I find myself very annoying but I cannot help it. I even hated myself for being such an old hag at times. Is it because age is catching up? I used to be able to tolerate almost anything but now I seem to lose patience very easily, especially towards my family. I used to be able to tolerate my part-time cleaner for a year but now I think I will explode anytime.


Anyone here also the same as me? I thought I am like having menopause. :lol:

Haha … Its true! Dd missed our nagging and lecture when she was away for weeks of overseas trip.

For my mum, I have seriously no idea how she can nag non-stop for 1 hour. If you want to say something, say it properly. Nagging just makes ur child more rebellious and wastes both of ur time.


πŸ˜‚ you and your wife might do the same too :evil: :evil: .

after some serious talks with dd, we decided that we need to change the way we talk to each other. so tried talking nicely, in a gentle manner, always smiling and in the end, both dd and i ended up :sick: :sick: :sick: .

now we are back to our old self which is definitely very much better.

Parents with teens, what time does your sec child usually reach home? Do you have to nag them to take a shower when they come home from school? Mine reached home around 2pm but will drag till 6-7pm before taking a bath, is this normal?

Your secondary school kid reaches home at 2pm? That's early. I don't nag too much about taking a shower because they need time to unwind after school.

I think teens have their own habits, so some will shower immediately when they reach home, some don't. Don't need to nag at them, it will only cause resentment. It's actually quite trivial.
My dd reached home earliest 3.30pm and latest 7.30pm. She'll shower at once. But on wkends, she'll drag until 8 or 9pm. I don't bother about her shower time.

jessicawongcs:
thanks for the advise.

hopefully it works on DS...
DS is very spoilt by my parents, till DH and i decided to put him in childcare instead of letting my parents look after.
Both old folks will do anything DS said, eg, DS will tell them to keep toys for him. When asked to help to take something for my parents, he will not do it... 😞
anyway, u have very sensible boy πŸ™‚
It is the same here.. :evil: I have to send my children to child care centre to 'keep them away' from their grandparent as their grandparents tend to be their maid after sometimes.

8 years old son came back home last evening with a toy pencil and happily told me his teachers gave that to him as a present for his consecutive 5 times 100/100 spellings.


I played with his toy pencil and told him he is a lucky boy who has a good teacher who recognises students' efforts. (to be teachers really not easy nowadays. Many 'presents' like this to 'motivate' them to get their full marks.)

Then we have dinner and chit chatted as usual (only two of us at dinner table last night).

I told him I am very appreciative of him for knowing how to do his own learning without reminders. He smiled and said, \"No work, no play.\"

Then I went on to talk about some children who will nag/complain when having to do work and will procrastinate.

He thought and said, \"Why they waste time to complain? After nagging/complaining they still need to do. By the time they finish nagging/complaining I would have already finished my work and started playing!\"

That is what happen to my DS, he will tell more things happen in the school to daddy than mummy as daddy don't nag and is a 'good listener'... :lol:

She can move from one thing to another to another and I will tune out and suddenly, I realised she is nagging about something that happened eons ago and is totally unrelated to the original trigger.


Me, I am not a nagger. I don’t have the patience to nag and I always believe that action speaks louder then words. So if the kids don’t clean up after themselves, 1 warning, 2 warning, the next thing they know, all their toys are being swept into a trash bag. I can get a bit high handed at times but really I hate nagging.

My elder sis has inherited the nagging skills from my mum. I realised that when out with her and my niece one day and she went on and on and on about this and that until I asked her if she thinks her DD was even listening to her at all. Her DD just chuckled and confirmed that she tuned out long ago.

I just shouldn't control when my DH make the same mistakes for more than 3 times. According to my DH, I nagged more than his mum πŸ˜›

BUT....like LOLMum, when I dun have a maid, I nag a lot more. And I kinda dislike myself.....and looking at my MIL (who is a supper nagger), I'm extremely fearful cos' it's downright irritating, I dun want to be like that πŸ˜‰

PS : Sun_2010.....your article on the NAG is funny. I like it :love:

but now without a maid and i have to do everything, nagging level has shot up. it is very hard to break the habit but am working very very hard on it.

i am a quiet person too (more of a listener to my friends and family) but the amount of words (from nagging) over this 1-2 years may have exceeded the no. of words i have spoken since birth :lol: :lol:

I think it is a matter of adjusting expectation especially of ourselves. Easier said than done though.


You may enjoy this blog i wrote to step back and take a humourous look at what I had turned into. And that helped me change quite a bit. And in parts accept myself too.
