Yes, some of u may say I'm a lucky woman, a SAHM who doesn't need to do any housework.... (well at least not for now till the kids are bigger)... even though I've a maid, I'm still very hands on with both my kids. I bathe n feed them, change and wash them when they poo, and I still cook Meia's meals now.
Well, some of u may throw me this question... why can't cope? its not that I can't cope... its more like it isn't easy with a two yr old toddler who doesn't listen at times (anyway, it isn't being a parent)... or some may say, so lucky don't need to do housework, what's so difficult? Well, when u're in my shoes, only then will u understand. Or if your hubby tells u to have the maid sleep with the kids, or leave them in the maid's care... sorry, I don't think I can do that. Since I made the decision to be a SAHM I take it upon myself to ensure that my kids get the best of my time, my love n my everything. In short, though I have a good maid, I rather TRUST myself when kiddos are concerned. No matter how tired I am, when it comes to my kids, they get 101% of my attention.
To my hubby who's reading this... if u happen to visit... its really hard at times... even though I don't work, and I don't have work pressures, I've other issues to deal with at home too. I'm really trying hard to PROVE myself to ur mom n also yourself. I'm not a useless woman (even though u don't think so)... at this stage, I'm sorry I can't help u save the money on having a maid, but when the kids are older (school going age), I'll soldier everything myself, I believe I can manage a semi-d house on my own, complete with cooking n all... if your mom can do it, so can I. I may not be as capable as your mother, but Don't under estimate your wife.
To all who think that I'm a Tai Tai enjoying life, well, u're very wrong here... SAHM doesn't = to a tai tai, its a very very far cry.
Lastly, to my hubby, please do not think I'm not enjoy ing SAHM life, I really DO and its something I willingly do for the rest of my life, with or without a maid.
