Daddy’s Away, Again
We’ve just sent hubby to catch his bus to Singapore. He’s taking the flight from there to China this time. Justin was very obedient, he didn’t fuss about daddy’s going away, but he kissed and said goodbye to daddy nicely. He promised to be good and take care of mei mei for daddy (what a big responsibility!) when he’s not around.
I know my sleepless nights is going to start anytime soon. Whenever hubby’s not around, Justin tends to wake up often at night, sometimes crying for daddy, or asking for a night feed. It’s really annoying getting up to make milk, then wait for him to finish and wash the bottle later. I’m very lazy to do so, that’s why I prefer to breastfeed! But he’s already weaned off, so that’s out of question.
At the same time, Isabelle will also be fussy at night. Why huh? Both of them miss daddy?
I joked to hubby once that I want to get away, leaving the kids to him and see if they’ll be acting like this at night. But I know before I could leave the house, Isabelle will already be crying for me!
So, I jokingly told him that he’s so good, can go on “holiday” and sleep thru the night somemore….But he gave me a good question, “How about switching?” I’ll go “wan sek” and he stays at home….And after some serious considerations, I think I don’t want to be the sole bread earner of the family, it’s just so stressful!
So dear dear, thanks for everything you’ve done for us. We love you! *muak, muak*

I also like to tease my husband that he can get to go on “holiday” and catch up on his beauty sleep.
RE also misses his dad by waking up more frequently than usual at nights. Sadly nothing like that when I am away

Mdm 2359, give me five!
WMD, how come? He sleeps with you right? Or maybe daddy tries to make things easy for you by telling you that RE’s doing fine?
Blur blur, we women want status quo sometimes, but when it comes to this major responsibility, we chickened out! Ha!
Samm, should ask them to meet there huh? Ha! You’re right, just after they’re settled down, he’s back again.

Errr…actually I admit it’s true, when I travel, it’s like a recharging session for me. Leave the kids with the hubs and I can have my uninterrupted sleep & watch late night TV

Don’t worry so much shopping mum kids is like that even for us also we will do the same too if we already used to be with the person and suddenly the person not wif us sure we will feel uncomfortable so do kids. They dunno how to tell us.
So be patience lor… Hub’s is very “Sun Foo” outside also.
