Apki baaton ka koi sar pair nahin hota hai…kabhi bhi. Jab boltay ho, ulta boltay ho. Even if someone isn’t mad, they’d get mad talking to you because you speak or write without even thinking.

I was home with my baby nephew for 9 days. Just 9 days. I remember thinking to myself…how on earth does my sister do it with him and my 4 year old niece? I had to schedule my showers in the morning with my mom for 20 minutes. I needed that help. How do people do without? I don’t know. I was awake during the night because he got hungry, constantly doing his laundry, changing him, feeding him, watching him like a hawk, showering him, trying to give him naps, always on alert mode until my sister got back.
It is SO much harder than it looks and as they get older their needs grow. You can put a baby in a bouncer but how do you keep a 5 year old’s active mind occupied, happy and satisfied 24 hours a day?
Most women I know who live in the West at least are very appreciative of their working husbands and do not spend the family’s money on expensive dresses or dinners because they don’t think of it as just their money. Its their family’s money.
No home maker I know of goes and just spends money thinking “oh I can do anything I want since I am a stay at home mom”. In fact, they’re very cautious knowing its a single income household and future planning is extremely important.
