Aden is taking a nap, so now thought i blog a bit. He is having this on off fever since 3 days ago. seen the doctor, taken his medicine but still the same. Now i am making some chinese medicine(leng yang). Have to postpone my grooming appointment, feel so bad. there is no other alternative when such things happen. I really sympathize those full time working mum who have no mothers or maid to help them out when the child fall sick and can't go to childcare. Not all employer will be happy if she take leave to attend to her child. For a woman, once she choose to have kids,it's her responsibilities.
When aden turn 2 mths, i decide to become a stay home mum since i can't find anyone to babysit him. so i put my work on hold till he turn 18 mths when he can go to childcare centre. Some people thinks that stay at home to look after baby is easy because that is their thinking . Only a stay at home mother can truly understand. there is never ending of laundry and housework chores to do on top of caring for a difficult baby. Cooking three meals for the baby and yourself seems rushing. at times i was so hungry i ate his porridge. Bring my 2 dogs daily with the baby in the pram is an uphill task. need to push the pram up and down the slope to get to the park. Couple of times have to run away from stray dogs following us.
My hubby also work alot of overtime to support us. so most of the time it just aden and me at home. at that time we don't own a car yet so when we do groceries,the pram will carry our stuff and baby in arms.
i envy woman who have time to take long shower,treatment their hair,do their nails while caring for baby. how they do it? I will be so happy if aden would let me eat in peace, or leave him on his own so i can go shower/poop. noo.. i have to let him see me while doing all these, even cooking in the kitchen. Thanks to him, now i can be fast in everything i do. Bath under 5 min, Poop 2 min, cook 3 dishes in 1hr. Oh! did i forget to mention he is breastfed.so he is stuck on me all the time. Until now he still sleep between us.
Since he was born, not a single day go by, i am not with him. There are mother who are able to go for short trip without their babies but not me. He is too attach to me so won't allow. Just have to wait till he is a little older..maybe
Nowadays my daily routine is
9am: make breakfast,get aden ready for school
10am: go school
11am: go market downstairs,plan for dinner.
12pm walk the dog,pack my bag for house call grooming
5pm: reach home, bath and cook dinner.
6pm: fetch aden,eat dinner together.
8pm:bring dog down with aden.
9pm:watch tv,play toys,read together.
10pm on ward fold laundry,wash dishes depending what time he sleep.
12am to 9am: he wakes up 4 times every night or every hr if he is sick
so aden,please get well soon.
