Stay At Home Mom

Wednesday - Went to Dr.Ali for 9 Month check up. Everything went well. Very good is all that we got from the doctor. Aiman's milestones is consistent with his age. He's 8.5kgs now!. Went to KLIA at night to pick up Abah from Mesir. Sad..nothing for us but never mind hehe. Thursday - Do nothing except the usual house chores and bla bla bla..

Heard that one of my friend involved in an accident during her journey to her husband kampung. Hopefully sume okey Shiedah. Get well soon!

Just wanna share with you all this article. It lightens up my day (or night? skang kul 2 pagi??!)

The Myth of the Stay-at-Home Mom

Being a "stay-at-home mom" is by no means related to the term "non-working," in any way, shape, or form! In fact, mothers who choose to stay home have one of the most demanding and important jobs in today's society. This is a career that requires seven, on-call 24 hour shifts, each and every week, 52 weeks a year.

The world's stereotypical image of the "stay-at-home mom" is a woman sitting on her sofa, eating bonbons and watching soap operas all day. The real truth is that the job of raising children never ends. It's not a job where you get to leave work at the office, or clock out after an 8-hour shift. There are always things needing attention, such as: meals that need preparing or cleaning up from, mountains of laundry to wash, dry, and put away, a home that needs constant cleaning, doctor visits, soccer practice, and grocery shopping - just to name a few.

Full-time mothers get the first call when volunteers are needed for any school function, field-trip or fundraiser. If you choose to be a full-time mom, you probably won't be home very much. You will find yourself organizing trips, running bake-sales and driving children whose parents are stuck at work to museums. You put in all the work of "working parents" without the paychecks or the breaks.

The rewards of participating in, and the impact on your children's learning, development, and values is priceless. Raising children as a full-time mom is a career that requires a multitude of skills, including patience, wisdom, and thinking quickly on your feet. All are key elements of successful parenting. Another "perk" to staying at home to raise your children is that your parenting guilt level is greatly reduced. You'll never have to question the quality of your child's care, or if you are spending enough "quality" time with them.

Do you get sick days or vacation time? For most full-time, those benefits are not an option, unless you physically cannot get out of bed or are fortunate enough to have hired help or help from a loving spouse, relative, or close friend. Your work needs to be accomplished so the household doesn't fall apart. Even when you're sick, it's business as usual.

If you are or are considering being a full-time mom, give yourself a pat on the back and a whole lot of credit. When you calculate just how much it would cost your family to hire someone to do all that, you do, you realize just how valuable choosing to be a stay-at-home mom can be to your family!

Tuesday 17th March

Spring cleaning the kitchen. Cooked for dinner. Sweet sour ikan bawal. Okey la kot. Tak habis pun sume makan. Aku pun tak makan. Takpe next time try lagi. Cooked Aiman's food for stock 1 week. Kena tambah sup sket nanti. 

Hari ni Aiman stayed up from 5 o'clock in the evening until 12 midnight. Sungguh bertenaga! where did he got all of his energy??? Lately dia breastfeed pun dah kurang. Tau main je. Good sign i think.

Hari ini dalam sejarah. Kaki Aiman masuk selumbar. Tapi dia macam tak perasan. Aku tengok pun ngilu gak. Dia tido je tadi terus amek ketip kuku, siap 1 gayung air dettol n cotton bud. Takut gak nak kuarkan selumbar tu, tapi kena berani gak. Nanti infection lagi payah. Last2 dapat kuarkan, Horray! terus letak air dettol to prevent infection. Hai anak jantanku...sungguh lasak! :)

Ape pasal ko camtu??

New Addition!

Well despite of the sad entry previously, this blog will be fill by lots of pictures from the new camera. Alhamdulillah, ada rezeki lebih :) PhotoMama, here I come!

SuperMommy n SuperDaddy

Lama tak update blog. Rindu rasanya. 

Sibuk ngan Aiman. Sejak dah bleh merangkak nih, memang time tido dia sket je. Mostly main je la. Kalau tak tengokkan dia, adalah yang tergolek ke belakang hehe sebab selain merangkak, Aiman dah boleh berdiri (with support). Bila dah tiba malam, memang dah tak larat. Still got time to bloghopping tapi haven't got time to blog.

Bercakap tentang bloghopping, I came across this blog about SuperMommy, another SuperMommy and another SuperMommy! Not to forget SuperDaddy!

Tidak mengupdate blog juga berkaitan dengan sedikit permainan perasaan dan fikiran yang menghantui diri saya. Tak payahla saya nak jelaskan di sini, cukuplah biar suami je yang tahu hehe. But to be fair, it's a little about myself, my future, my surroundings.

Tapi setelah membaca perjalanan hidup Super2Mommy dan SuperDaddy, saya rasa bersyukur sangat! Beruntung sangat! Walaupun ini mungkin bukan jalan hidup yang aku rancang, tapi sekurang2nya jalan hidup ini tidak diuji seperti mereka. Mereka sangat tabah! I salute them all!

Selepas ini, tidak ada lagi whining tak tentu pasal.

Ramai lagi yang diuji dengan ujian lebih hebat.

Kalau Aiman aktif sangat, takpe Mommy boleh jaga.

Kalau Aiman suka merangkak ke sana ke mari, Mommy bleh kejar.

Kalau Aiman nak susu, Mommy yang demam boleh lari2 pergi bagi susu kat Aiman.

Kalau Aiman demam, Mommy yang demam boleh tengok Aiman.

Kalau Aiman merengek je, Mommy boleh layan.

Kalau Aiman nak dukung, takpe Mommy boleh dukung.

Kalau Aiman tido malam kul 3 pagi, Mommy boleh tak tido sampai Aiman tido.

Asalkan Aiman happy, sihat, dah cukup untuk Mommy. Love you darling! :)
