Not easy being a stay-at-home-mum, get it?

Somebody had made a comment before about being a stay-at-home mum (sahm) - that our jobs are so easy, just put the kids infront of the TV and the day will be gone. Ya right.. How I wish. Ask all the SAHM, they will definitely DISAGREE! Reality is, we have no time to eat, sleep, shit and even a 5min just staring into space. I think I have more time eating properly and getting 'me time' when I was working. I can even afford to go for a jog right after work in the evening. Now, I got to clean the house, prepare meals, 'entertain' the kids at the same time.

Recently, I have also become more active posting photos on Facebook and Instagram of my kids doing arts and crafts, playing, baking, outings and etc. I AM INDEED DOING MY WORK AS A SAHM. I am not trying to proof to anyone but I am very glad that I have the opportunity to be with them especially at this young age. Everything I do, the kids do, are valuable memories. Who knows, after my husband's contract is over, I will be back to working life again.

Just a few months ago, I was deeply upset by a comment made by someone close. she said she has a lot of teaching certificates, and that she is a qualified teacher, so she can teach very well... And that if she were my age, she would have open a childcare centre.  And she went on to comment why Stacy forgot her ABCs...Last time she used to know her alphabets very well. EXCUSE ME, the last time I checked, she knew a little and I started teaching her myself. Stacy knows her Alphabets well, but she was busy with something else when the questions was asked at her. Ok, I just kept quiet as there are people who feel that they are always right. Well, if I am rude and direct, I would tell her that one does not need to be a qualified teacher to teach, especially your own kids. Nobody is perfect, nobody is a perfect parent and we are always learning. AND PLEASE, do not criticize the parents' teaching methods and never stress my children. I will do it myself. Lol.

It is definitely not easy being parents, be it parents working the whole day and then dragging themselves back home to find kids wanting to spend time with them or it could be in my case, whole day and night with the children without a break. But it's worth it right? Seeing the smile on their faces, their every steps they take, their success and failure, they hugs and kisses you....

On Friday, my children did some craft works, not perfect but their efforts

Made snails using paper plates. Inspired by stacy's fav cartoon show, 'Turbo'

Suppose to be chickens but look more like chicks
