A Singaporean mother on TikTok, Nuradamiqah, shared how her toddler son had officially exited his “baby era”. How? By pointing a middle finger at his mother.
The Incident Unfolds
During a routine school pickup, Adam, in response to his mom’s request to go home, shockingly displayed his middle finger.
While this might be amusing to some, Nuradamiqah was far from amused. A TikTok video posted on Nov 2 captured the details of this eyebrow-raising incident.
What was supposed to be a typical day turned extraordinary when Adam decided to go vulgar in his response. Nuradamiqah, however, kept her composure, focusing on the severity of her son’s actions.
Nuradamiqah’s TikTok video not only revealed the incident but also showcased her approach to parenting in the face of unexpected challenges. Her controlled response and subsequent actions are a testament to her unconventional yet effective parenting style.
Instead of reacting impulsively, Nuradamiqah opted for a composed approach, addressing the situation eye to eye with Adam. She remained calm even as Adam requested three hot dogs as an afterschool snack.
Hot Dog Analogy
In a twist that reflects both creativity and sternness, Nuradamiqah used a hot dog analogy to teach Adam a lesson.
Apparently his friend had taught him that it was “okay” to point a middle finger when he feels angry.
You want three hot dogs right? mummy give you 4!
your finger? mummy cut ah! mummy cut! cook with the hot dog! you want?
your friend jump down, you jump also?
don’t cry ah! you don’t cry!
if 4 hot dogs not enough, i give you 5 hot dogs!
open your pants, one more hot dog down there!
mummy cut, mummy cook!
Tough Love in Action
Nuradamiqah’s firm stance and unconventional parenting method put Adam in his place. As he apologized to his mom while controlling his tears, it became evident that tough love had made its impact.
The incident serves as a valuable teachable moment for parents, highlighting the importance of addressing inappropriate behavior with a combination of composure and creativity. Nuradamiqah’s approach encourages parents to turn challenging situations into opportunities for growth.
