I wouldn’t recommend this playhouse, though. It was the first time we tried this and the experience wasn’t fun. At least, for me. First, they charge a certain amount if a parent goes inside with the kid. Why? Di ba dapat wala kasi they won’t have to take care of the child kasi the parent is with him already. Second, they don’t watch the kids. They just let them play around. Sometimes they call the kid, then that’s it. And third, they don’t really watch the kids, especially the not-so-good ones.

The story: I sat Estong on one of the little cars (not the one shown in the pic above) and then a big, chubby kid (probably around 7 years old) came up to him and tapped Estong’s arm and said something like “That’s bad.”. Syempre, Estong didn’t really react kasi di pa naman nya talaga naiintindihan. At syempre, ako ang nag-react. I immediately asked those in-charge for the guardian of the kid. I would tell him sana na bantayan ang alaga nya kasi nananakit ng smaller kids. Kaso the kid was alone pala. His parents just left him there to play. Those in charge of the place asked the kid to say sorry na lang. He did so I let it pass. A little later, Estong and the kid met up na naman. Kaka-slide lang ng kid from a pole and Estong was giggling. Aba, lumapit ba naman yung bata at itinulak si Estong. I really couldn’t remember kung napaupo si Estong o nasalo ko. Basta ang alam ko, sobrang nagagalit ako. I just carried Estong out of the playhouse. At habang papalabas, Estong was crying kasi he didn’t want to leave. I just told him na “Alis na tayo dito, masasaktan ka lang dito.” Pero medyo malakas kasi I want them to know na naiinis ako. They know na nananakit yung bata, di pa nila binantayan. It could be worse. Pano kun nalaglag or nauntog yung tinulak nya. Gustung-gusto ko ng patulan yung bata talaga kaya we left na lang. Naiiyak din ako. I was just not sure why, dahil ba nasaktan ang anak ko, dahil di ko malabanan yung bata, dahil di ko sya mapagtanggol.

And now I’m thinking if there’s something wrong with the kid or the way he’s brought up. Kasi I was always with Estong while he’s playing, bakit kaya ang tapang nyang manakit considering there’s an adult. The kid is old enough to understand good and bad. Bakit sya ganun? I wouldn’t mind if he’s 3 or 4 or 5. But he’s older than that. Iniiwan na ngang mag-isa sa playhouse e. Don’t his parents know the kid’s behavior? Or alam nila, kaya nga nila hinahayaan mag-isa, kaya na daw ipagtanggol ang sarili. Hayy…

I pray na sana Estong won’t grow up that way.

Kami iniiwan naming ung mga bata (Matthew and cousins ages 4 to 7) sa Dave’s Fun House, OK naman sya kasi may babae and lalaki na bantay tapos may CR pa tapos they give ice cold water pag uhaw ang bata. Wala lang manners yang bata na yun. I hope Matthew doesnt imbibe that way of bossing around.
