in one of my bloghoppingS (an addiction is in the offing!) i read a post that mentioned the “Mommy Only” duties (from a local TV the blogger watched). Here are the list:
1. Caring for your child during times of illness.
2. Eating with your child
3. Bathing your child
4. Helping with their studies.
5. Tucking the children to sleep.
if so, my son has been missing my presence in items 2 & 3. i felt sorry for myself (and pitied my son) after having read the blog. the fact is, i would have wanted to do these things by myself. but because of work (sigh, sigh) i have built up my son's schedule of bathing & eating with his yaya. all these are done while i am at work.
been thinking last night. the desire to spend more time with my child is mounting. if only i could quit my 8-12/1-5 job & do something else to earn while being a stay at home mom (top of my wish list)...meanwhile, because work time is given (am fortunate enough not to render over time) i thought of adjusting maybe his schedule so we can be together at least in some meals or i can bathe him in the evening..

Hi! Thank you for reading the FMB :) and that you found something helpful there.
I am a stay-at-home mom now, but I still don't get to do nos. 3 and 5 with them all the time. Sometimes, it's just not possible to do all of those with them all the time. The most important thing is we know we're doing our best as their parents. And of course, we do not relegate all tasks to the yaya.
Welcome to blogging! I hope you stay for a long, long time :)
