Momma: Do you like to do the dishes?
Son: When you are angry with me, I do the dishes. And only if I'm sorry. Only if I'm sorry.
So nowadays I purposely leave dishes in the sink even though that hurts my eyes and my brain 😜, hoping that my 5-year old son will have something to help him calm his conscience, if I may describe it as such. (He does pretty well except the plastics that got oily, so I happily redo the dishes when he doesn't notice it.)
I honestly still haven't figured out the ways with him. I know his life has its challenges. May Allah help me in this journey. I hope I grow mellower and I pray that he grows kinder and better as a good Muslim boy.
