我家四宝。All mine to love and to hold. At least, until they are all grown up. ❤
No one ever said parenting is easy. I knew right from the start that this year would be a challenging one - PSLE for the eldest, having to care for a newborn, handling a clingy boy who is newly promoted to Korkor, dealing w a soon-to-be tween, all while having to solo parent most of the time in the midst of a pandemic.
Yup, some friends called me brave to have a fourth kid at this stage, some said I must be mad, or maybe it's just a combination of the two. 其实，这应该算是我的福气才对。❤ Many told me to get help of some form to make my hectic life easier, then I told them I do have help - from the hubby on weekends and my older kids on weekdays.
Nope, it's not like the kids are always wonderfully behaved nor do they always take the initiative, but they have all stepped up to help out in the house and with the baby - I'd like to think I trained them well over the years - and before we know it, we're just three months away from the end of the year. For that, I'm truly grateful.
It's my 12th year as a stay-at-home mum yet I feel like I still have so much to learn and to improve on. On some days, I sound like a broken record, my fuse is shorter and my patience is cut down. I can blame it on stress, on cabin fever or many other things but like I said in my "Happiness is..." blog post, it's okay to not be okay at times. "We might have lost the battle today but we live to fight another day and tomorrow, we're gonna be victorious."
Mums are humans after all. So am I and so are you. And we are gonna be all right because we are not alone in this journey.
Happy Hump Day, everyone. I call this post 有感而发 and it's not because I had a tough day (most of our days are normal with a mix of both good and bad parts) but because I just wanted to pen my random thoughts. 3 more weeks till the end of PSLE, to all parents who are in the same boat, let's jia you and 向前迈进 together! ❤
