Yes I am working now, in the office. Its started at 6pm and should end by 8pm. This is going to be a short angry frustrated post from me. I am angry because I have to go to work just for this 2 hours. I am frustrated because I have no option, for now, not to go to work. To add to this wound, I am leaving my wife, my twins and my Josh alone at home. 
Just now while on my way to office, wife called to tell that Josh throwing things again. He got angry because mommy did not want to switch on the computer. myJosh even threatened to disturb Preston and Presley. I was like, “What!?” I am scared. For sure wife gone crazy with Josh demanding attitude. Last night, Josh poke my eyes because he got angry of me carrying Preston around. I think that was jealousy. Man, that really hurt my left eye. I thought I gone blind already. I could not do anything because my hands were busy feeding Preston milk. I told Josh this was temporary, I mean just for awhile. He said, “No Papa. Please follow me play computer.” So scary that time because he was like very close to the baby and he keep pointing his fingers to Preston face. Arrrggghhhh.
Back to my wife. I told him just let him play computer for a while if that does not work, just beat him on the leg. Whatever it takes, protect the twins. See, even saying that I already pity my Josh. I do not like to be in this situation. I hope they are ok at home. I am sure my wife can handle him. I hope so. I hope so. Done, better call her now again. Thanks for listening me.

hahaha.. you kid so cute..so why you work for just 2 hours? be patient..

Yep, it’s hard to reason with kids when they’re Josh’s age. I am blessed that my son is very understanding for a four year old.
I must have done something right in my life to deserve him.
Anyway, I think it’s pretty much an adjusting process and Josh haven’t got the bearings 100% correct yet, but I think it’s a matter of time anyway. If you ask me, I’d start talking about school with him from now on.
Tell him how it’s a nice place to meet friends, play fun games and learn new things. Tell him that it’s the best place for children. Tell him that you’d love to send him to school, but he must prove himself worthy of being a scholar first.
Tell him that scholars are responsible, and that if he can’t be more responsible towards his brothers, how can he go to school?
It helps if you can show really fun school scenes on TV, maybe on Playhouse Disney Channel or some really nice non-cartoon kids show.

Poor daddy, hope it just temporary that Josh being naughty. I think he need both of parents attention, luckily my son didnt like Josh. I tell him everythin about his sisters when i’m pregnant, evey check up we bring him along to see his sisters in the tummy. I think it take some time to let Josh know his love from daddy mommy will share with his brothers too.

how old is Josh btw?
thought he’s a little ‘unreasonable’…
September 3rd, 2007 at 10:00 am
oh,i get your mean as i am in you shoe…Josh is acted similarity like Jo, i think they just feel very unsecure as they are no longer a center of attraction. It takes time to adjust their attitude…wish you good luck!
September 3rd, 2007 at 10:24 am
Ahhh, the infamous “sibling rivalry”…
September 3rd, 2007 at 12:12 pm
be patience..josh will understand sooner or later…jealous la baituh gia…..:D
September 3rd, 2007 at 2:34 pm
oh dear papa, sounded like u & yr wife is in a bit of terrible episode now! i think it is real important to handle josh appropriately at this adjusting period. it’s kind of pity for him coz he has been having all 100% attention & concentration…………and now it has been mostly taken away if not all…….some more not one baby but TWO!
i think it’s impt to look at it from this perspective & help him out…….but sorry not a professional here to give any remedies!!
u r right, protect d twins by all means, get a help for yr wife asap while u r not around & lastly loads of GOOD LUCK !!!
September 3rd, 2007 at 3:59 pm

September 3rd, 2007 at 4:46 pm

Good Luck

Wow. Must be stressful for you man. Hope things work out soon.
September 3rd, 2007 at 7:17 pm
Alamak, poked your eyes?!
Sorry to hear about the stress life, Papa. I really hope you’ll get a maid soon. My maid in KK told me her friends all sudah ada kerja. But I’ll let you know if we find one, ok?
September 3rd, 2007 at 9:55 pm
After reading your post I somehow felt that I was something like that when I was a kid. Not sure how much better now haha =p
But, pity for you.
September 3rd, 2007 at 10:29 pm
Nobody like working weekend!! More so for you with your newborn twins. Get a maid may lessen your burden. When you children are still young, it is like that lor. Just be patience.
i have got an Award for you. Come collect at my blog. Hope this will somehow brighten your stressful days.

oh my, josh sounds pretty pretty demanding @__o sakitnya… and ouch your eyes! >__
September 3rd, 2007 at 11:51 pm
Honestly, I don’t think Josh is being unreasonable at all. Maybe a little demanding, which is no surprise as ALL 3 year olds are like that at one point or another.. even WITHOUT having siblings.
Josh needs some time to adjust. If parents need to adjust, what more to say a 3 year old. Some of the comments above seem so harsh, I think you can’t expect too much out of a 3 year old.. poor Josh can’t suddenly become a big brother that knows what responsibility means. All he wants is mommy and daddy to play with him like they did before AND manage the twins at the same time.
So basically, give him time. This is the part where your patience needs to be berdouble-double triple triple.
As for me, when the 2nd baby comes, I will expect Buddy to behave more or less like Josh as well. They’re still babies (to me).. and need attention too. Budak tua bangkak umur 24 tahun pun masih manja sama mama. Apalagi budak 3 tahun. Hang in there papaJPP!! I wish you all the best!

poor lil josh..jealous of his lil twin bro..u buy la josh a new toy..
September 4th, 2007 at 9:47 am
i think jealousy is normal among kids, as long as not very serious type of jealousy , give josh some time to make used to him that his a big brother now. Later he will be proud to be bro and taking k them… need time, need time …

I can understand how hard it can be for both you and your wife to handle Josh especially with your new twins…hope he will get himself adjusted to the new environment soon…as I dont have the experience of handling first-born with a new baby yet, the least n I could do is to give you this site http://babyparenting.about.com/od/training/f/jealousy.htm
It seems like a good one…all the best to you and your wifey…hope Josh will start to accept his new role as a big bro soon
Hang in there my fren! 
September 4th, 2007 at 3:35 pm

Seems like Josh is jealous and wants attention
September 4th, 2007 at 11:37 pm
i have to study during merdeka.. apparently, malaysian holiday won’t work on Bangladesh’s lecturer
September 5th, 2007 at 1:29 pm
Be patience..josh will get use to it sooner. He just need to understand why he is not getting all the attention that he used to get last time.
September 5th, 2007 at 11:09 pm
dun anger…dun anger….
September 6th, 2007 at 11:54 am
Don’t worry le PJ, your eldest son just want a little attention. Remember to spend some quiet time with him once a while, especially now you’ve another two boys taking up most of the attention. from 100% attention last time, now he only gets 33.33333333333% wor..
Haha..talk about poking eyes, last time hor..i even hide my younger sister under the TV cabinet because everybody tells me papa mama don’t love me anymore as they’ve another new baby! ahhahaah.. *hide face*
September 6th, 2007 at 4:22 pm
Alamak.. kesian you lah. Body at the office but mind at home. Ish, what a terrible situation to be in. But I can imagine your wife having one hell of a time - taking care of 3 kids by herself! I can volunteer to babysit if you want hehe.

Not sure whether u will do tags or not?

L’abeille seems to be very understanding considering she doesn’t have any kids yet.
Yes, having new members in the family is a big change for everyone, more so for Josh. I suggest no matter how busy you are, you just have to find some time to fit in a one-on-one bonding time with him. Play your pc games. Take just him out for a walk to the store. Whatever. Make him feel that he is not neglected and tell him over and over again you love and care for him the same, no less. Include him in daily chores for the twins. Ask him to get their towels, diapers, etc.
Then you take care of the twins and your wife can then have the same one-on-one time with him. Even if it’s just 10 minutes.
I hope this helps. I have the one and only, so I can only imagine how full and ‘noisy’- in a good way, your lives must be!
take care~

Hehehe, your Josh is just like me when I just got my brother… Well I was the only child for 8 years before my annoying brother is born… It’s common for lil’ Josh to get jealous but then need to handle it carefully so that it wouldn’t worsen… Hehehe, good luck in taking care of the twins and also lil’Josh

Oh Papa, just got around to reading this. Sorry to hear of your predicament. I can only imagine what you and your wife is going through, tired over caring for twins and stressing about Josh. Hang in there, it will take time for him to adjust to the new situations. Hugs to Josh from me, I’m sure he is having a really hard time understanding what is happening and hugs to your wife because I can totally feel the kind of emotional tug of war she’s going through right now.
