Memo - Don't Spoil Me

You're still in my belly.. so cozy that you don't want to come out. 
I understand~ just feeling antsy..
But my challenges will get even bigger after you com out, right? 

---------------- 

Don't spoil me.  I know quite well that I shouldn’t have all I ask for.  I'm only testing you. 

Don't be afraid to be firm with me.  I prefer it.  It makes me feel more secure. 

Don't let me form bad habits.  I hope you can help me detect them in early stages. 

Don't make me feel that my mistakes are sins.  It upsets my sense of values. 

Don't be too upset if I say "I hate you."  It isn't that I hate you, but only that I need your attention. 

Don't protect me from consequences.  I need to learn the hard way. 

Don't nag.  If you do, I will have to protect myself by pretending to be deaf. 

Don't make rash  promises.  Remember that I feel badly let down when promises are broken. 

Don't tax  my honesty too much.  I am easily frightened into telling lies. 

Don't be inconsistent.  That completely confuses me and makes me lose my faith in you. 

Don't put me off when I ask you questions.  If you do, you will find that I stop asking and seek my information elsewhere.

Don't tell me my fears are silly.  They are terribly real and you can try to understand.
 
Don't ever suggest that you are perfect.   It gives me a great shock when I discover that you are not. 

Don't ever think it beneath your dignity to apologize to me.   An honest apology makes me feel surprisingly warm and thankful toward you. 

Don't forget I love experimenting.  I couldn't get along without it, so please put up with it. 

Don't forget how quickly I am growing up.   It must be very difficult for you to keep pace with me but please try. 

Don't forget that I can’t thrive without lots of love.  But I don't need to tell you, do I? 

I need you.  So try to keep yourself fit and healthy. 

I want us to enjoy a long and happy life together. 

Mom and Dad, you are the best!
