5 year old who cries after fun

Ever since T1 was 3 years old, she would cry after a holiday. I don’t know why. She’d cry every time we came home and we’d have to endure her dramatic tears and sadness for a few hours. It was almost like she’d sink into a depression after a holiday because she’d had too much fun and now the fun had ended. We have tried talking to her, explaining that there are good times and not so good times and if she was on holiday all the time, it would no longer be a holiday! Yadayadayadaya…..

Once, after returning from Kota Bharu, she began her primadona performance and when my MIL called to check if we’d arrived home, T1 cried and cried and cried so loud, so of course my MIL wanted to speak to her. T1 told her she missed KB *sobs* and she missed Ama’s apple pie *bigger sobs* blablablabla……and do you know what my MIL did? She couriered a fresh apple pie tightly sealed in a tupperware the very next day.

*FAINT*

Lately, she’s started having sleepovers at her Nana’s and every single Sunday when she comes home, she’d cry. Cry because she had TOO MUCH FUN at Nana’s and now she is home with stressed out Mommy who always has no time for her and a crying baby. How depressing is that?

At Nana’s she gets to do paper mache, design and string necklaces, paint her nails, go swimming, watch as much TV as she likes, play games, chat without being told to shut up be quiet, eat as much of anything she desires, paint and draw, go anywhere she wants……BUY anything she wants……in fact, now she’s lobbying to stay with Nana every day!

But she has to learn, right? Life is not a candy and lollipops everyday.

What do you think I should do with this girl? I feel like selling her!

Who is Mamapumpkin?
Mamapumpkin spent 7 years in London committing crimes to gain her Bartlett degree in Architecture. She then spent 7 years as a Stay At Home Mom raising her children as documented in this blog of over 15 years thereafter returning to the Corporate World stronger than ever as the Country Director of a British Multinational. She sets out to prove to all, that you can have anything and everything that you want; if you have that fire of desire burning within and the drive to work hard. Even better with much love.

Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.

She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.

A beautiful life without limits.

If you wish to learn some tools to propel your life forward guaranteed, be brave enough to make contact as her life's purpose is to build people. She operates through a discovery call after which she will commit to helping you. Or not.

Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.

Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.
Show your support and spread the love!
