Lil is on holiday since Friday…
She’s gone with a good friend to Bangkok.
This is something she had wanted to do for sometime.. and I’m glad to be able to take care of the kids, and ‘free’ her to go. =)
However, truth is, I’m learning that it’s quite a challenge to be all alone caring for 3 kids.
It got especially more difficult cos’ Emily fell sick again! Doctor says she has the gastric flu.. so she’s been feeling really tired and lethargic and very irritable! which made it really hard to care for her.
I’m glad the past few days, my Mom & Dad were around to help. I decided to stay here at their place. It’s help quite a lot. But still I can’t help feel the strain.. or taking care of the kids alone.
I probably sound like I’m whining (which perhaps I am!) especially to moms who stay home all the time. Staying home, not being able to go out cos’ Em’s sick, has been difficult for me. But it’s been a good learning time for me too!
Ya man. They say, “To really know a man, walk a mile in his shoes.” In this case the ‘man’ is our wives. During the WSC i asked myself how Jac could do that day in day out… i had a new appreciation for her role at home. Never once did i mention how hard work in the office is cf to her at home anymore. =] i feew your pain.
