My pride, joy and all the time annoying kiddo. =)
Have any of you mummies felt that perhaps life would be better if you don't have kids? Don't get me wrong, you didn't regret giving birth to them, you just feel they are taking up your energy and time? I do. And I feel its NOTHING to be shameful about.
I work in retail sales and is holding onto a 6-day work week job. Yes, I work on Sundays from 10am - 7pm. The only time I have with her is that 1-2 hours after work. She sleeps around 9-930pm and she will only choose to sleep with my dad. Ask me if I'm failing as a mum? I have no idea. However, I can safely say that in terms of financial stability, my parents do not need to fork out a single cent for Leia. My ex-husband and I still manages Leia's expenses and NO WAY will I allow my parents to be paying for her.
So back to the topic, there are times when I wish I can just do my stuff and just have me-time. And this to me, is normal. Some mummies I know even choose to go to work because staying at home with their little ones would drive them nuts. Try to be a stay at home mum, and you'll know.
Of course, this does not warrant any regrets from giving birth to Leia. I scrub her hands squeaky clean after a meal outside at a coffee shop, I get myself all wet after bathing her and I always wash her butt butt after a poop. But after the tiredness is taken care of from a most appreciated nap, you cant wait for your child to run into your room and go "Mummy, I love you."
Yes, I have my weakness, but I'm acknowledging it and NOT saying I'm a perfect mum. And if I ever meet a perfect mum, I'll NOT get tips from her, but I'll just dump Leia with her for that 3 hours. HAHA! So mummies, go ahead and have your me-time. We defnitely definitely deserve it.
Before I end, the post - how do I look with this hairdo? (Of course taken 1.5 years ago.. =X)
