The husband always wins.

[possible vulgar/dialect language ahead]

The husband was bathing the baby earlier and required me to help. I was feeling lazy so I teased him about his capability.. You know, being an all rounder and wonderful hands on super daddy, but he insisted he would liked me to help.

Me: you cannot do it yourself meh?
D: no, I’m not as capable as you. I need you to help.
Me: you very zhu eh! (I meant 猪/pig in this instance and trying to mock him of stupidity. It was also meant to be a pun because the husband’s surname is Choo /朱) 猪爸爸!猪爸爸!

I chanted non stop during the time I helped him and carried the baby away from the tub to dry and clothe him. The husband washed up the bathroom and came to me 5 mins later..

D: eh, I 猪爸爸 right? Your surname lim right..
turns to baby and addresses him while pointing to me.
Baby, this is lim lao bu!! (your mother in hokkien)

Guess he had the last laugh..


As the last defense, I have decided not to fight back and let him win.. It’s my marriage maintenance strategy. Haha.

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.
