619 – Overwhelming Parenting Experience – 2

The father, a brave warrior, runs away, and the remaining union between the mother and the nanny is in danger.

The situation was more serious than expected, so we hurriedly headed to where Teresa was. Somehow, my mother, who knew that I was also raising a child, urgently sent an SOS.

“Mother.”

I arrived at Teresa’s room at such a fast pace,

“Are you here?”

I could find my mother and nanny lying limply next to the small bed.

It was so sad that I was shocked. The two of them, barely able to lean their upper bodies against the bed, seemed to have collapsed on the floor, as if they didn’t even have time to save the face of nobles.

No, when I looked closely, the nanny even had her eyes closed. She seems to be sleeping briefly, but she is actually fainting.

“Are you okay?”

After quickly scanning the room, I carefully approached my mother.

Teresa is sleeping soundly, regardless of whether the two of you are tired or not. I couldn’t bring myself to make a loud noise because I instinctively realized that the nanny was causing her to faint at the expense of the little child’s sleep.

What if Teresa wakes up because of me and even the nanny is forced to wake up? You don’t want to see a nanny anymore.

“Maybe it’s because I have a reliable eldest son, so I’m fine.”

Anyway, my mother nodded her head with a faint, very smile faint.

“And once Teresa falls asleep, she sleeps well even when the surroundings are noisy. That’s a good thing.”

It was such a fortunate thing that I couldn’t help but sigh with relief.

Teresa was definitely a child who slept well regardless of her surroundings. No matter how many conversations were made around him or when adults poked his cheek his, he was the type of child who would just frown. He was a child who only responded to Erich’s voice like a ghost, and once he went to sleep, he woke up only when he wanted to.

So I’m confused. There is no difference between the Teresa of my memories and the Teresa of today, but how did our youngest child become the little devil who overthrew Tyglehen?

‘What happened?’

First, I believed my mother’s words and touched Teresa’s cheek

‘Sleep well.’

He just twitches his nose slightly and is still sleeping well.

“If you sleep and don’t wake up, aren’t you likely to be tired?”

While looking at Teresa like that, I secretly asked my mother.

There are many hardships in the process of raising a baby, but the biggest hardship is waking up from sleep due to even small external factors. So, it can be said that if the baby sleeps well, half of the hardships will disappear.

“Teresa was very active.”

At my question, my mother smiled bitterly and barely got up from her seat.

“When I sleep, I’m an angel, but when I’m awake, I’m like a warrior.”

It is probably thanks to her mother’s strong reason and affection that she was not called a devil.

“He cries when he’s hungry, he cries when he needs to do something, and he cries when he misses his mom or dad. Of course, that’s natural, so I gladly accepted it.”

She nodded at her mother’s next words. It is natural for a baby who cannot move to cry because he or she is hungry or because his her or her her her her her bottom her her her she is wet. If you don’t understand that, you’re not qualified to be a parent.

And the father and mother are people with ample parental qualifications and will. These are the people who will bring unicorn breast milk, world tree leaves, and diapers if Teresa wants.

“But… I cried too often…”

She closed her mouth for a moment and her mother shook her body slightly. It was as if she was reminiscing about the hardships and disasters she had experienced so far.

Regretful. Although her mother has given birth three times, this is her first time raising a child. What kind of level of parenting difficulty is given to beginners?

“Teresa is a child born with a curious nature. I am glad that she will become a healthy and energetic child as soon as she grows up, but she is currently unable to move on her own.”

“Yes, well… I guess it’s like that for all newly born babies.”

Still, after controlling her emotions, my mother opened her mouth again, and I also agreed and agreed.

The fundamental reason why a baby cries is because she cannot move on her own. If Teresa was born with a curious nature, this period of not even being able to crawl would have been a difficult time—

“Crying at the sound of steps in the hallway, crying when the door opens, crying when it snows outside the window, crying when I wear new clothes, crying when Billy grows a little beard, crying when his diaper is changed…”

?

“Yes?”

“I cry when a different maid from the previous day comes in, I cry when the same maid wears different clothes, I cry when the clothes smell different, I cry when it takes a long time to clean the room… “

“No, mother, what is that?”

“Recently, Erich, who came with Sera, cried when he came with Zenobia.”

Those words were mind-boggling, so I just gaped.

What does that mean? Even the sunfish, which is known for its meme of sudden death if it just touches its collar, is probably not that sensitive. Even if only half of what her mother said is true, doesn’t that mean that Teresa cries in every single day?

‘Is it hell?’

Before I knew it, my hands started shaking.

It doesn’t happen, and it definitely shouldn’t happen, but does my child cry all the time except when he or she is sleeping? I can’t even comfort you because there’s no clear reason why I’m hungry or I’m running errands?

‘It’s hell.’

It is a hell that should not exist in this world.

I summarized the situation by listening to my mother’s explanation─ a lament.

Teresa is a curious child, just like her mother said. A child who fiddles with various things, tries to put it in his mouth when he looks away for a moment, asks what it is when he sees something strange, and asks why it looks like that when an object is explained. ﹥

It is not a particularly unusual phenomenon. If there are quiet and shy children, there are also active and energetic children. As a child of the Crasius family, Teresa was born as the latter.

However, the problem is that this tremendous activity and curiosity do not develop during the process of growing up, but rather are present from birth.

‘I want to touch it, but I can’t.’

Objects you see when you open your eyes, people constantly entering your room. From Teresa’s perspective, how much would she want to touch and play with her?

However, Teresa is unable to crawl, let walk alone. The patience and curiosity that had been building up in my heart eventually reached a critical point, and I started crying and making a fuss over the slightest thing.

‘It can be solved just by crawling.’

Actually, the solution is easy. If you are feeling angry because you cannot move around, you can relieve it by moving around. If Teresa can crawl on her own, she can vent all her curiosity

The problem is that it will be a few more months before Teresa starts crawling. Even if Teresa is impatient and crawls around quickly, it will take at least 3 to 4 months.

‘Can I endure it?’

She swallowed her saliva as she looked at her mother’s face showing dark circles.

Is it possible? Could her mother endure this disaster that turned the entire town of Tilglehen upside down for three or four months? Didn’t she collapse from exhaustion on the way?

“Uuuuuh… “

“Huh?”

“Ah, ah…”

While I was seriously thinking about it, I heard a small murmur next to me.

Her mother let out a sigh filled with a bit of despair, as if she was the only one who heard it sadly.

“Aww…”

Teresa, who had been sleeping well, suddenly opened her eyes.

Her blue eyes, similar to her mother’s, were sinister … No, they sparkled brightly.

***

Once Teresa falls asleep, she sleeps for at least two hours. I was confident that it was an experience he had accumulated through countless tears and sweat.

Thanks to this, Laura, who had been struggling since the morning, closed her eyes as soon as Teresa fell asleep. She must have been so tired that she even divided the duties of her chief maid among her other skilled maids. She didn’t even dare to go to her room and go to bed.

However, Teresa, who had barely fallen asleep, opened her eyes after only an hour. This is something that should not happen and is incomprehensible.

Neither I nor Laura have recovered her stamina yet. On the other hand, Teresa, who has just woken up, is more sensitive than ever and cries easily.

“Ma’am. Are you sure it’s okay? You and I have similar affection for Teresa, but the difference in physical strength is unavoidable. If I leave, the burden on your wife will only increase.”

“It’s okay, Billy. You haven’t been able to sleep well. Get some rest at least for a few days.”

Suddenly, she regretted what she said to Billy a few days ago.

Whenever Teresa cried, Billy was the first to run to her and console her. I could see in her eyes that she was getting more and more tired, so I let her go for a while, and after hearing my confirmation of her, Billy ran away without saying a word to his vassals of her . She probably would have passed out in a few weeks if she hadn’t given Billy a break.

So I believe I made the right choice, but Teresa broke my sleep cycle. If this happens, the empty space in her billy will become even bigger.

“Our youngest. It’s been a while since you’ve seen him?”

While thinking about how to resolve this tragedy, Carl held Teresa, who had just opened her eyes, in his arms.

“Why are you awake already?”

After saying that, Karl gently touched Teresa’s cheek her.

“Ah- woo-?”

Teresa, who was looking at such a knife, tilted her head,

“Uuuh… “

I started crying because the knife I hadn’t seen in a long time felt unfamiliar.

“Oh my. It’s sad to cry in front of my brother whom I haven’t seen in a long time.”

But Karl was not nervous and still smiled. I patted Teresa, who was crying, and walked around the room, showing her the furniture in the room and the scenery outside the window.

“Ugh…?”

Then Teresa sniffled and blinked, although her eyes were still full of tears.

‘Oh my god.’

Surprising. Once Teresa cries, it inevitably leads to crying. No matter how much we tried to console him, we could never stop him from crying.

Moreover, we also walked around the room like Karl, trying to divert Teresa’s attention and interests. Still, I didn’t get the same results.

“Oh, do you want to touch the floor too?”

Carl, who sat down on the floor, carefully put Teresa down and naturally lay down next to her.

“Ah-woo!”

Teresa lying on the hard floor instead of a cozy bed.

However, rather than being upset, Teresa smiled brightly.

She smiled brightly, as if she wanted this.

‘Amazing.’

Beyond surprise, I felt a sense of wonder. Carl comforted Teresa in one go after we had been unable to soothe her for months.

Is this a father’s ability to raise five children?

***

I smiled as I saw Teresa lying on the floor and laughing.

‘This is what happens.’

If Teresa’s parents and nanny were unable to appease her even though they treated her with the utmost sincerity, it means that a new method different from the existing one is needed. That’s why I did something wild that my parents would never have done.

And that twisted idea worked right away. Our youngest, you have a much rougher and tougher personality than I thought.

This eldest brother was a little surprised.
