Every mother would agree with me – that whenever they look at their kid – it is nothing short of a miracle. Till today – 6 years after giving birth to Chloe – it never fails to amaze me how God makes it possible for the woman to carry the baby for 9 months in our belly – growing from a size of a pea .. till she is ready to come out. And that may be the reason why mothers are never harsh on their kids – they can get away with just about anything.. but not the spouse.
Are you like me…?? always picking on the spouse but never the kid..?? I’m guilty .. that’s for sure – the spouse cannot raise his voice at the kid.. nor can he ignore the kid.. but it’s alright the other way round.. well not the raising the voice part.. because Chloe is taught better. But when it comes to buying things – it’s the same way.. anything for the kid.. but nothing for the man – if the kid needed a lcd monitor – zoom i would be out there getting her a new one.. if hers was broken.. but if the man’s monitor was broken, i would tell him to make do with a used one from the store.
Everything for the kid – needs to be new or fresh to eat – the spouse and myself.. we can eat leftovers .. no biggie…?? what about you ..?? are you this way..?? or is it just me..?? I know of some mothers here who would be all dressed up .. and make up .. and their kids gets their clothes from Salvation Army – a bagful for $10. But i couldn’t do that.. if anyone would to wear .. anything from Salvation Army… it will be me.. not the kid.
