conversations with the husband #3
Conversations with the husband #3
after a super frustrating bedtime routine with a toddler who simply refused to sleep for > 2 hours.. my tempers were flaring and I really was on the verge of strangling him or giving him away to another family. I was so tired, super sick and I badly wanted to grab some rest. so after loads of struggles, cries, whines, disciplinary acts and hugging daddy’s leg. I ignored him for the longest time and he fell asleep. in the above position, over my blanket but under my bolster.
daddy and I finally sat down to have dinner at close to midnight, packed his school bag for tomorrow, washed the dishes and the milk bottles, bathe (the weather is killing) and now, I’m being the ‘milk maid’ while typing this.
the kid is still in the same position, sleeping.
me: tonight was a frustrating night. he really tested my patience and I almost lost it and strangled him to death.
der: what you mean. its not just tonight. its every night!
me: tonight was bad for me. I wished him dead many times in my mind.
(looks at the sleeping kid again)
me: eh, he didn’t move a single inch at all. maybe he is already dead. can you check under the bolster?
der: (without even batting his eyelashes and didn’t even move or look in the kid’s direction, said in a really calm composure) he’s alive la. he can’t be dead. the bad guys usually don’t die so easily, just like the movies. only the good guys die.
me: Hahahaha.
I love that the husband is sometimes lame like that. it just melts away whatever frustrations i have in this parenting journey.

Hi there! Thanks for popping by. I'm Cherie, a ftwm (full-time working mum) to 3 lovely kids (2 boys & a princess) and my motto in life is to BE HAPPY. Sure, life isn't all that smooth but it's the mentality that counts, no? This blog documents my life. Or rather, snippets of my life that has passed me by. I love capturing life memories in the blog and being able to read back and laugh at myself (or anyone). I love to eat (A LOT), travel and paint my own nails so the blog is mostly about that. Is that considered lifestyle? Of cos, the family is also very much an integral part of me so there would be loads of memories about the husband and my kids - Jerry (9yo), Jerome (7yo) and Leia (2.5yo) and everyone else that's close to me. I like documenting the kids' milestones, their growing up years, their achievements (and sometimes, mine), and my struggles and battles with motherhood. It sure ain't easy. I love seeking out good food and travelling, is trigger-happy, love new gadgets, love exploring new places and strives to live life to the fullest. I aspire to travel the world as much as I can, to soak in the different sights across the various continents and visit all the Disneylands in the world (almost there!). Have fun reading and do drop me a comment to say hi! Love, Cherie Lim Find me on Instagram.

Don’t praise him. he’s always stalking my blog comments.. wait his head swell big big. LOL.
I always feel inadequate as a mum, but i guess it’s always a learning journey right? I’m just thankful that der is quite in sync with me when it comes to parenting and i can always count on him for his support.
wm says your laura can rival my jerry in terms of mischievousness! Or maybe she’ll win so you also need big kudos from me. 🙂
