SUPERMOM, SUPERDAD

November.

December.

School holiday.

End of the year.

5 children.

Wedding event.

And bibik was on leave.

SO...

Ordinary mom and dad became SUPERMOM  and SUPERDAD.


Both still have to go to work  and all children were at home...with a helpful granny.

Tasks were segregated.

MOU achieved.



SUPERDAD agreed to take the 'tender" of laundry (except the cloth diaper)

SUPERMOM will do everything else  that she could.

SUPERMOM learned to wake up EARLY morning...cooking nasi lemak and baby's food for the one year old.Juggling between pumping and working.
Trying to bake homemade bread and pizza.

Eldest daughter...well.... being the first and have been exploring her own world...

Second daughter..more reliable and taking care of the youngest...alhamdulillah...

The family became more creative - using 'dulang " for meals to spare the plates.

SUPERDAD cleaned the 4th daughter before SUPERMOM brought her to her workplace...

If SUPERMOM was not tired, tried to cook something for dinner...

LIFE is not easy....but manageable

Having said that, counting days for bibik to return.



Allahu'alam

puan puyer...

actually I am very ordinary and I REFUSED to be supermom....I just do whatever in my capability....

semoga allah mengiranya sebagai amal jariah...

nonnie....

I can understand your feelings...
I remember one saying...YOU ARE A HUMAN BEING FIRST, A PARENT SECOND.
the love hormone, oxytocin need to be refill, then you can love others effectively.

take some time off for yourself, for the benefit of other in the long term, outsource some house hold work eg ironing or laundry.

and probably can try to slowwwwwwwwly talk to your spouse about helping a bit in the house.

Teringat kata-kata Dr harlina

Women in the eyes of GOd, depends on how GOd sees ourselves, but in the eyes of the husbands, depend on we, women see ourselves...
