I had been too relaxing these few weeks. Or i should say, my time management ought to be improved. As Princeton was not feeling well last few days, i had no time for my assignments at all. The only time i could keep up, would be during midnight while the children are asleep.
Yes... though it's tough, but still its our responsibilities to keep the children occupied and of course to take care of them especially during night time when they fall sick. I am lucky that my mum stayed with me, and we could afford a helper. Others wondering, i am not working, why can't i do the housework? People who knew me well, would understand that, not that i DON'T know how to cook, or i DON'T know how to iron clothes, mop the floor, do the housechores. Sorry, i was not born with a sliver spoon, the amount of housechores i could handle, is far more than you can imagine. I used to be a 'maid' long time ago. I used to HANDWASH all the clothes for my family of 5. Our washing machine was out of order for 3-4 months, mum had no money for a new one. I mop the floor everyday after school, and i ironed my sibling's uniform too. I was secondary one i remember. At that time, i felt miserable, and i felt mistreated. I felt my parents were biased. But now, i thanked them, because this makes me a good housewife, and it cultivate my patience.
Ever since i'm married, Zhenyu had promised that his wife will never have to do any housechores, ever. Of course i don't rely everything on my helper. Sometimes i do my own cleaning too. I would want my children to have a habit of cleaning up their place, and Princeton is doing it now. He would placed his dirty clothes into the kitchen bathtub. He is learning how to tidy up the bed every morning too. I don't believe in doing everything nicely and smoothly for the children. They must be able to handle hiccups and learn from the lesson.
Today i did not attend my lecture. Wanted to stay at home for my assignments.... Princeton watched his animals documentary dvd, while waiting for me to finish my work. After watching, he felt tired, and went to bed himself. He dozed off after drinking milk.... I can continued my school tasks, and later accompany hubby for online movies!
Thank you mummy for brewing tonic for me again tonight. My sister doing confinement, and am i:) haha..... just hope that i can stay strong and healthy, so that i would be able to take care of my children. I do not like Parents saying they are busy or tired with work, hence they leave the children with their parents to take care (the whole day/night). My point still stands, our Parents only help to oversee, not obligated to take care nor to discipline them. Let alone to wish that our parents can help them with schoolwork etc. All these are the parent's job and responsibilities. We cannot expect parents to do this and that. They are suppose to be enjoying life now, not to be your slave or your children's servant.
