My daught is like a wild horse without rein in the countryside
I told my daughter last Friday that she could go to her grandpa’s home next day. She was so excited that she jumped and ran with joy, even shaking my body, and said:”You are the best daddy in the world.” afterwards, she began to arrange her things for the next day’s short trip. She packed two big bags.
My daughter hadn’t gone to visit my father for a long time. She had been keeping asking for it. But I wished she could go there together with me. After I was told that I had to go to ChangSha on errand, I knew that she wouldn’t have time to go any more if I didn’t let her go to the countryside.
The another important reason why my daughter wanted to go to my father’s home was that her cousin, her favorite playmate, has been already there for a week.
I don’t allow her to spend summer holiday at her grandpa’s home, because she always eats all kinds of junk food and eats least healthy food. My parents always let her do what she wants to do, and eat what she wants to eat. I will be uneasy while she is in the countryside. After all, she is a little kid. She can’t take care of herself and my parents spoil her too much.
I phone her every evening. Most time she doesn’t answer my call, just telling my mother who gets the call that she is busy. Sometimes she answers my call, but, before I can say any words, she has hung up the phone after saying a word of ’bye-bye’. I can imagine that she is eager to join up with her cousin for some games.
My mother told me that my daughter didn’t read the story books of English. Although I packed the book for her, I knew that she wouldn’t read a word of the book. But I can do nothing. She is just a bird out of the cage, a fish into the deep and wide sea, a wild horse without rein.
As a matter of fact, I worry her safety most. My father house stands by the joint of two streams. It’s a good place to live, but it’s a dangerous place for a child as young as my daughter. I warned my daughter again and again before she set off. I will beat her if she did something dangerous. I also call my parents, asking them to put close eyes on my daughter.
How can I get relieved when a little unfledged bird fly in the wild forest full of danger. Perhaps, I magnify the danger, but I can’t help it.
