Throes of Being A WFHM

During the school holidays, my blood pressure is often higher. Being cooped up at home with the kids 24/7 is NOT fun… especially for a work-from-home-mum. I get pressure from all corners all the time – from some very demanding and fussy customers, from suppliers, from the kids, personal/family matters and from the helper.  Many times they make my blood boil to the point I could feel my blood vessels erupting! And many times I feel like breaking down and giving up on my online store, SIGH!! Oh yes, my favorite line when I am sizzling with anger caused by my kids is that I would tell them that I would run away from them, to a far away place and never return… a line that my late maternal grandma used to say to us out of anger, when my brothers and I were young. Now I understand how she felt then!

After a tongue lashing session to the girls just now, I was in no mood to talk or smile. As I was showering Baby, she kept chanting this “mummy, you are so CCCCCCUUUUTE”   while emphasizing on the word CUTE and after about 2 minutes of saying this, she said this to me “mummy, why is your face so CCCCCUUUUUTE when you are angry??” ... to which point, I really felt like bursting to a fit of laughter LOL!!

  1. haha… baby C is so cute! she sure knows how to brighten your day with lots of laughter … When I am mad at the kids, I would threaten to throw them out of the house, let them experience the coldness … hehehe.. and I have done that.. so they know I mean it ..

  2. I know what you mean esp with regards to working from home and the helper. Makes me wanna eat my fist sometimes!!!

    Hang in there, ok? You’ve got a great thing going on there.

    Besides, you can always count on the kids to make you laugh 🙂
