How to make friend with your son?

Yeah how to make friend with your kid when you know he hates you already. Do you think Papa here knows a bit trick than the rest of fathers out there or the mothers? Actually, according to the hitz.fm we just need to listen, listen and listen only when they talk. It is not that hard, right?
Well, sorry if the title misled you. This only works with my son Josh, the 3 years old, fire-breathing monkey in the house. All right, let us get straights to the points here. They are many ways like giving toys to them and letting them do whatever they wanted to without you stopping them. However, the one I really cherish the most is how to make him take bath. Now, Josh ah [I have a friend like this too 
], is one kid that never say “yes” even after you told him many times to agree with you. When you asked him, “Josh, go take “podju” (bath) and please take off your shirt and “souva” (Kadazan: pants) now”. His answer is always of course, “No! Don’t want!”
So how? To cut short,
“Josh, go take your truck with you. Papa going to wash it because it is dirty already.”
“Huh, Papa wants to wash myJosh’s truck?”
“Yes, quick, faster. I need your help too.”
“Ok Papa. Where we wash truck?”
“Upstairs in the toilet. Come.” “See, Papa got wet already. Papa need to open shirt now. myJosh too. Faster.”
I think up to here the detail. We end up taking bath together water splashed all over the bathroom even the toilet paper also wet. Now the trick after that just splashed him, soap him, brushes his teeth together while you doing the same. Therefore, whenever you asked him, brush your teeth, Papa also need to brush. Everything after that is under his control. Just as long as he is taking his bath, it is ok for me.
Yeah, all the water faucets open. For the shower, If I have multiple, I am sure all the shower faucets will be turned open too.
So you see, whether you mind the water bill gone up or him able to take bath, your choice. For me, getting him to bath is the priority here

PapaJ, that is one good psychology to make your son to take bath…I must remember dis…for me, it is not that hard to ask my children to bath…just ‘modsu’, after that they are in the toilet waiting for me…

Hmmm… there should be another better solution to this problem. I thought kids like to play with water, why isn’t Josh like that? Maybe you should impress him with a new shower system from shower faucets. the price sounds reasonable too.

hahaha.. same as my Buddy.. Susahnya mau mandi!! Luckily Syura has come home and he still listens to her.. Right now, being so BIG, I tidak larat also want to gusti him into the water.
But just now, my trick was, let him brush his teeth (which he enjoys), then when it’s time for him to gargle, I accidentally kasi basah his baju.. then he say uh-oh.. basah! So, have to mandi loh.. LOL!
But once he oredi mandi, he doesn’t want to come out.. he keeps on playing with the water. *sigh* kids!
