Struggles of being a parent.

Today, i struggled with being a mom of two, a wife and trying to keep everything in place physically and mentally. I didnt know what to do except to spend some time walking and writing. Its been a while since i “wrote” something for fun and not for work.

I am never trying to be a perfect mom but i am trying my best to be a house keeper. Why? you might ask. I dont have an answer for you. But i really dislike things in a mess. It is a complete eyesore to me.

I walked away today. Not because i don’t care about anyone. But, I just don’t want the kids to see me being upset and i just needed my own space and time and this is the way for me to recover.

Am i okay? I am not okay, for that moment as i was upset. That is the truth and there is nothing to hide about it.

I questioned myself – Am i suitable to be a mom? Well, the truth is, no one is born to be a mom. No one taught us on how to be one. We learn from experiences and we grow from it.

Is there a perfect parenting? My answer will be no.

You can probably find tips on those parenting 101 by googling or reading a physical book.

I am an old school buff. I love the smell of a physical book. I dont like kindle as it just dosent have that feeling but it is definitely more environmentally friendly and sustainable (if you do not replace your kindle every 2 years). Anyway, my point is, works for one might not be suitable for you. Hence, find your own space.

When we look back at all these incidents, we will realised that it dosent even matter as we might not even remember and life is really too short to remember it.

Poof for now as i go and indulge myself in some comfort MOS burger. Whatever that works to make you feel better. Corn Soup and a Tsukune burger. Those will be my answers for a rainy day.

The one on clogged ducts

Regardless of whether you are a breastfeeding mom/an exclusively pumping mom,  mom feeding formula. Either way, give yourself a big pat, you’re doing great! You sacrifice your own body, time and to bring a new life to world!

I’m a mom of two, with my elder one being 3 yr+, and the younger one being 5mths plus, i have had experienced all of the above. I’m sure at one point time, you would have googled, or read in the books, forums, facebook about the benefits of breastfeeding.

I struggled with breastfeeding (not that its a breeze with now) with the first child primarily due to the following;

  • Lack of Experience
  • Lack of Patience

Anyway, i will talk about that another day. Today, its about Clogged (the dreadful) ducts that all breastfeeding moms absolutely hate. If you are a breastfeeding mom/exclusively pumping mom and you have not experienced a clogged duct before, hallelujah. You’re one lucky girl or you are really good!  Continue reading “The one on clogged ducts”

The random one on mess

Having a second bundle of joy means more clothes, more clutter and less time.

There are days where i cant stand the clutter in the house. There are days i ignored the clutter in the house for rest comes first above all. Without proper rest, i’m exhausted and i have no more energy for the boys and family.

There are days i wonder if we live in a bigger house, with a helper, will it help to declutter? Maybe? perhaps. But, i guess it boils down to minimalism living (ie, buy only what you need.

THE FIRST

Years ago, i created a food blog for fun. It was “Sittingwishingeating”

It took me a while to think of a new blog title. I’m running out of the creativity juice, not that i have much to begin with. Well, i created an instagram for the boys so i just “steal” it.  and i’m back (after a super long hiatus) to create new memories with the family.

As the saying goes “Age is catching up on you”… This is true, especially after having two children. I have zillion of things in my head everyday. The “To-do” list never seems ending. There is always something. So, here i am, writing it down, so that i can laugh about it as i grow older.
