When Mommy is Away…

So, how’s things at home when mommy is away? Let’s see…

• The house is messy, and it’s already expected.
• Kids had more junks and pizzas, and that’s part of the “plan” too.
• Kids did well at SIL’s place for 3 days, under the care of her maid while hubby was working and SIL was away in Mebourne. I am not sure what they did at her house, but they were bathed, fed, and well taken care off with the help of TV and a laptop.
• Teachers helped to watch the kids too as I told them I won’t be around to pick them up on time, and hubby might be late. Indeed, he was very late one day in picking up the kids!
• The school van is reliable. Thank god for that! We arranged for the school transport to send the kids back to SIL’s maid when hubby was too busy. There is a school assistant that goes along with the van driver, and the drivers are all hired by the school, so I feel more secure that way. After the news of a driver r*ping a school girl in M’sia, you really doubt the security of using a transport home!
• No one stepped into the kitchen nor cleared out the food in the fridge. I came home not only to step on sticky floor and seeing clothes on the sofa, but also to a fridge with some super old leftover (the last meal before I left home) and a rice cooker of mold and acid which was left for almost 9 days.
• The rack was full of biscuits, cereals and dunno what packed food. Obviously, those were my kids BENTO for school.
• Kids are more attached to daddy. They want daddy to sleep with them even more, and that totally spoils my effort in training the kids to sleep by themselves FOREVER more.
• Justin is very independent, he didn’t miss me much.
• Isabelle cried for the first few nights, and called me a couple of times a day, complaining that daddy bullied her or korkor scolded her, or daddy bullied korkor and etc. As long as you raise your voice at her, she will complain that she’s being bullied. I guess hubby lost his patience over the days when I was not around. LOL!

Overall, I think hubby did a great job. So, is he complaining about the kids? NO. He ENJOYS it.
