A fire cracker subject turned into a subject on babies!!!

I guess I am really a fire cracker.  DB said I am one fiery one.  I’m mighty hot-tempered.  My fuse is so short, it can explode within seconds and my patience is, you know the answer.

I am the above because that’s what my “mentor” said about me, too.  Not just DB, my mentor said I’m super short fused; a friend of mine, who is a Filipino, said the same thing.  Outsiders are the best judges. 

When I think about all these – about my fiery temper, I do feel bad.  Can I say I take on my mom since I looks and acts like her so much?  Come to think of it, my dad was a hot-tempered person, too, when I was younger.  He has since mellowed so much from the days I was still in school to the day I left the family home 11 years ago.

The funny thing is all of them said if I had a kid, it would tame me hell a lot.  I don’t think so, I told each of them.  The kid would be dead before he/she could see the world.  DB, of course, said “That would not happen with me around” and he gave me that killer look.

The best was this conversation I had with my “mentor”.  She said I should have a kid to change my perspective in life, I will be smarter, I won’t take things for granted, my don’t-give-a-damn-attitude will change to the opposite, learn to care for others, and I will learn to accept patience. 

Maybe it’s true it will change me but for now, I’m just gonna try lengthening the fuse a little at a time.  My “mentor” asked me this question since she knows I have no relatives in this country.  ”Aren’t you afraid to be alone when DB’s gone, who’s gonna take care of you?”  I told her, I don’t know the answers to her these questions.  Probably I will leave it into God’s hands.

Right now, I will take care of my imperfections first.

    Practicing to make the baby reduces stress which should help lenghten the fuse. Right?

    Wish my kids did not pick up my temper. There is the risk with having a kid. You pass your temper on to the next generation. You become mellow only to be subject to the rage. At least I catch that at my house.

    SA – Both DB and I are stubborn and hot tempered, at least he has mellowed a lot as he aged and having a kid who inherited our genes is just gonna add more fuel to the household. *Sigh* Nothing is easy.
