Wife or Mother? Or Whatever?!!

Okay... today I on leaves again at home. Reason being to take care of Kimi who is suspected to have HFMD at his school. I got a call this morning when I reached office, informed by Kimi's nursery's Principal that she found an ulcer in Kimi's mouth. So she suspected Kimi might be one of the victims from their recent HFMD cases at the school. She asked me if I was convenient to pick up Kimi from the school and to bring him to seek doctor's consultation. I replied to her, Okay.. I will settle some work at office and try to be back at the school in half an hour's time. Alternatively, they will isolate Kimi from the rest of the children while waiting for me to pick up Kimi.

Well, after I reached the school, I saw Kimi's mouth to be covered by a face mask. He ran towards me and informed me that, 'Mummy... I am sick! You see... I wear a mask.' He jumped up and down while teacher was explaining to me where was his ulcer, etc... Okay... enough of all those, I told her, well, I will pick Kimi back home then.

I brought Kimi to a child's Specialist clinic nearby. After a thorough check by the doctor there, Kimi was a totally healthy boy with no symptoms of HFMD at all. The tiny little dot in his mouth is not an ulcer. Actually it has been with Kimi for some time already. Doctor explained the medical term of it to me, but I couldn't remember the exact name of it. Doctor after that told me, Okay, in layman term, treat this tiny little dot as some sort like a birthmark in the mouth. Hehe... A good explanation though :)

So, there goes my one day leave at home with Kimi. Of course, he enjoys it and he does not need to go to school and can spend the rest of his day with his Mummy!

From this incident, I have a sudden thought of... Why every time when problems happen or any sudden/emergency arrangement which is not in the plan, the person to look after is always the Mummy? Why Mummy must always sacrifice in this picture? Mummy also needs to work... Mummy also needs to find salary... Mummy also needs to cook for the family... Mummy also needs to pack the nursery bag for her child... Mummy this and Mummy that! But why must be Mummy? Why once a while, Daddy cannot comes into the picture to lessen the burden be it just a little bit only? Why occasionally Daddy cannot be the one to answer the sudden call and be there for the child?

Today, I use my blog to grumble a bit so that I can shout out my the imbalance mindset I have right now. When can a hubby start to appreciate the contributions of a wife (to him) and a mother (to his children) openly? People celebrates Father's Day, Mother's Day, Teacher's Day, etc... but why is there none a day that hubby celebrates big for his wife on a Wife's Day? Woman... after married, I think work for 365 days in a year non-stop for her family.

Yes, we do go for holidays... If without the kids, mind is always left at home to think of what are the kids doing at home... Do they have enough food? Do they sleep enough? So a holiday equals to no holiday ..... If holidays with kids, worse! Then woman will be a 'slave' for the kids during the holidays. Change for them, carry them, feed them, etc... A supposed to be holidays, end up become a 'slave' day... Yeah, I must admit, although it is tired, holidays with families can be happy and enjoyable at the same time! So with this happiness, a woman feels contented with her holidays despite the tiredness throughout the holidays. And this woman which I mentioned here, is ME! Silly right??!!

Sigh ~ I am not sure what I am writing here but just want to let go some of my feelings recently. Perhaps I am just too tired on my daily work, or perhaps I am not good enough to be a wife/mummy... Or perhaps... I need a break??

Okay... enough of grumblings... I think this is the first time I am using my blog to grumble on my daily life. Haha! Hope I won't be doing this again on my future blog posts... :)

Happy Mother's Day to Me!

 
Kimi appreciates his Mummy on this day, but not his Daddy! It is okay... I will make sure on Father's Day, I will do back the same thing to him! Treat it like a normal day for him too... Although I know he won't mind all these type of celebrations at all, I still want to tell him that.... Oops, Hubby, sorry ya, I forgot today is Father's Day! Hehehe.... I am very childish right??

From Kimi to Mummy with Love ~
