Ummie: You have my respect for being a SAHM. Well done!

Welcome back to blogging world!!!
Your first post I came across after delivery. I did comment somewhere in your blog that this baby is a girl. How?
I’m a stay-home-mum and I don’t regret the decision – I’m not a shopaholic and have my laptop to travel the world.
See, I’m in Penang now.
Cheers :D)

SAHM isn’t a peace of cake
You sweat it out from wee morning
Until the babies go to sleep
By then your energy low
And the boredom reeks your mind

It isn’t an easy task
Watching and caring kids
They take out much of your energy
With household chores nobody hardly around
Adult conversation with the wind
You become the baby talk expert

When you sit alone
Thinking on the sacrifices you do
Leaving you with no decent conversation
You begin to realize
“Is it worth the effort?”

So think on the opportunity cost
For your own self worth…one must be greedy
To hold on to one’s belief in life pursuits
Doing SAHM isn’t a cup of tea
It takes a lot of sacrifices and mental energy

For the active person like you
You can’t stay coop up within 4 walls
You have to go enjoying company of adults
Get the vibes of sharing and ranting
When you come home
You have the energy to box your chores
Of life and children smiling…“Mom home!”
