My mother left us..!!!!!

Tweet

Hello my dear friends. Before you make any assumption, let us go through my story first. I hardly cant sleep last night, because I have to take care of my youngest brother - approximately 1 year and 8 month. He fall asleep after 8pm but then we woke up few hours after. I was not at home, because I went to bus station to fetch my sister. When we arrived home at about 1 am, he was crying loudly, and his face was wet due his cry. He was calling my mother, and just after I entered our house, I grab him and put him on my shoulder and took a slow walk in the house while calming him down. I told him, "Mum isnt here, she went out, and will be back soon", but that did not work well. So, to let him stop crying, I asked my little brother to make chocolate drink for him. Instantly after being calmed down, and being offered chocolate drink, he stop crying and focused himself on the drink - although I could see he was still sad. Later after drank half of his drink, he started crying back and hinting me to see gecko (He likes to see dead gecko, I dont know why). With intention not to make him sad, I brought him to looked around the house for gecko, and I kept telling him "They are sleeping, the geckos are tired. So let sleep, and look for it tomorrow". Yes, how old he is to understand such statement. So, he kept wanting me to look for geckos. I was tired, and tried to get him to sleep. It was hard, however, because he kept on crying and crying. I think he miss our mother so much. But, after almost an hour plus the hug, the kisses and the gentle and warm caress I gave him, he fall asleep. The time was almost 3.15am. To tell more, my mother went to Indonesia for teachers' trip. It is not compulsory, as well as not to rude if she did not go. The thing is, she left my youngest brother who at this stage, need a lot of mother's love, and caring. Instead, he still sometimes breastfeeding. So my dear friends, I'm not posting this to insult my mother or anything like this. I want to know your views on does what my mother is doing right for this condition? Have you ever been in the same, or almost the same scenario? Do you think that parent(s) should not leave their young children for days or more for can-be-avoided situation? Or do you have anything to say? Good day!
