More relax on weekdays
After so much of complain on everything under the sun, I still prefer weekdays to weekends. Know why? Because on weekdays, at least I am the boss at home. When I get stressed, I just dissappear and Kakak will take over the kids. But with an extra person at home on weekends, there is a lot of nagging in the air by the old man. Chores can’t be done, kids seems disoriented, mistakes and mishaps happens even more frequently, and lastly I can’t breathe.
I get so stressed up again recently, when didi stop eating again (he just will not take a bite on anything, except junk food). Remember how happy I was with the success of swallowing raw fenugreek seeds? Too bad, my body is just to smart being tricked. It stops producing milk after first few days. Then I lost an overly costly parcel from US, which not only cost me LOTS of money, but also delays of ring slings delivery to my customers.
After the birth of the boys, there is lots of moment when I regret being a SAHM. I notice my boys does not eat well or grow well with my presence. Once in a while, when I am out from home, they are really ok with the maid. They eat well and sleep well. Although I can sneak out once in a while, I cannot leave them alone with the maid too frequently, it is just too risky (after some stupid incidents on what she did to the kids)….SIGH….
how i wish i can disappear too. i do agree that when the hubs is not around, the house is more in order. when mine around, things runs slower in the house and more chaos coz i let him take over since he is the head of the family.
chin nee, have u tried giving him pastas? try different sauce? or noodles with fishballs? cheese? yoghurt?
I am also feeling a little stress at home being a SAHM. Longing to go back to workforce…less ‘kek sum’ and perhaps staying away from home will make me less nagging and more loving to the children.
i know how u feel. but once u r out and u r back home again .. u feel more uplifted and less stress. its a definite stress reliever eh. prob can leave them wif ur in-laws or parents and go for a holiday??
Dunno y sometimes the kids behave better when kakak takes care of them. Maybe they jes wanna bully mummy.
Be Patient, after they grow up, you will enjoy more.
It’s a phase that you are going through and some day, in the near future, you will look back and feel so relaxed. You are a superb mum, Chin Nee.
yea.. definitely not dare to leave the maid and kids at home alone.. I rather dont go out then.. :S that’s why always confine at home!!! hahaaaa
Have u tried letting him choose the food and let him feed himself (even with his bare hand)?
Haha…imagine Isaac always bully me when I’m at home even though he is already 4 years old!!! But, then, he will always replace it with great hugs, kisses and praises…haha….
dun woree..my son also behaves more naughtily when i am around compared to kakak…he’ll be more demanding and whiny when i m around..sometimes i oso feel like screaming and pulling my hair out…hang in there ya
it’s just a stage tat all kids go thru i m sure
I understand the stress when the kid refused to eat. But my PD keep assuring me that they won’t starve, and eventually they will eat.
For my case, Dylan only start eating “normally” when i start him on daycare. Hope Didi starts eating soon./
True, my body also got immuned to the Mother’s Milk / Milkmaid tea. Now, drink or don’t drink that tea no difference. And yes, I do regret being a SAHM once in a while, esp the financial freedom!
Yeah, seems like the kids like to bully mommy. My mom also comments that my kids are OK with them, but once I step into their house the kids become so demanding want me do this do that or refuse to eat etc giving no peace to me. When we fly to Kuching, Hao was crying all the way in the plane. Since not full flight got extra seats, hb took the boy to sit in another place where I cannot be seen. Finally he stopped crying and fall asleep. U said geram or not?
I can understand how you feel when the little one refused to eat ‘normally’. I’m like a mad women just when Xavier refused to empty his milk each time.
Yes, I think it pays to be err on the cautious side by not leaving kids alone with kakak.
Fabulous post, my dear. Articulated so well. Thanks for sharing this beneficial information.
