Some things can wait....

"When my little one is having a hard time, I drop everything — no dishes, no laundry, no nothin' — and just cuddle, play, read, whatever makes him happy. Sure, the house is a wreck, but the house can wait; my son can't." — Kara

I guess its really true... to be patient especially when Iz is not feeling well.
I have to let go of doing other house chores to cater to his needs, sacrifice my sleep/nap, yup, whatever to make him happy and make sure he gets well soon. Also, I need to work around the breastfeeding time to make sure I also pump out my milk on time. Yes, there are so many things to do with 2 kids around. However, staying with my in-laws makes things a bit difficult as they would think that I am doing things "half-way" and leaving mess around! In my mind, I will clear that LAATTERR.... and most of the time I won't forget about it (unless Bernard is handling it!). I will always attend to my child first... and stop worrying or fearing about what others think about me. Sometimes, I can tell them that I will clear it later, but I can't mention it all the time about little things!

I have learnt that I cannot live under other people's expectations all the time. To be a good parent, I will stand up on my own opinions, my own maternal instinct, and the greatest of all is to make sure my motive is based on LOVE. There is no manual for bringing up a child perfectly, nor a troubleshooting method for each circumstances, as every individual is unique. Just to bring up a child in a loving environment is my aim as a parent. PERFECT LOVE DRIVES OUT FEAR.
