Barnabas, Belle, Business, Clarissa, Marriage October 18th, 2006Since the business started, we only meet him around 2 hours a day. That is only when I go to the shop. He slept there for a few nights already. The children missed him even more coz sometime, I don’t bring them along when I go there.
Not that I do not want to go home earlier but when I’m home, I will be taking care of my 3 children all by myself. At my mom’s, I have my dad, my mom and my sister to keep an eye on them.
Anyhow, for few nights already I’m able to get all 3 to sleep by 10.30pm provided I bring them home by 8.30pm. They need to mess up the room for at least 2 hours before sleeping. You noticed or not that I say “room” not “house” coz I’ll try to keep them inside the room most of the time. If they mess up the house, I got bigger area to clean up! Just imagine, I’m living in a house with 7 bedrooms, 2 kitchens, 2 bathrooms, 2 toliets, a big dining hall and a living room. Btw, I’m not living in a bungalow. It is a kampung house.
Eventhough my mom had all 4 of us. She had it easy with the age gap and with the help from my grandma who was always around. When I’m 4, she got my bro then my sis, a year after that. When my sis is 3, she conceived the 4th one. And she got me to help out too. Mine…3+, 22 mths old and a 4 mths plus a busy hubby!
I really praise God that I have my mom and dad to help me out. Even weekends I’ll be at my mom’s. She’s complaining that she does not have rest day but what can I do. I can’t handle all 3 all by myself the whole day. I’ll go crazy!!!
When I scream at them, I’ll get sore-throat. If I surpress my anger, I’ll get gastric. A banker told me to breath in and out a few times. It helps.
Now, if you want to mess up the room, mess up lar. You want to fight, fight lar. You want to cry, cry lar. They will be tired by 10pm then easily fall asleep by 10.30pm.
Praying hard that God will bless the business and we will have enough to employ an assistant. Pray with me please.

Yah.. i can understand how hard it is..! but having employees. .may not be the best thing too.. ! i suggest if business picks up.. maybe you can help your hubby.. or get a maid..?? to help at home. That way you got more time to help him out at work.. and someone to help you .. at home.
I admire and salute you .. for working . .taking care of 3 kids.. and home. .and plus gotta work. I only have one.. and hubs usually do all the things at work.. and i only need to look after chloe half-day. .because he looks after her. .till about noon sometimes.. and cook and clean.. whenever he can. .and does laundry.. permanently.. yet.. i can go crazy sometimes.. and turn to be a BITCH. So yes.. you are doing really well..! Keep that chin up..!! and stay positive..!!

Hang in there…that’s all I can say now! Once business on track, then both of u can enjoy a bit!

dearie,
I won’t suggest to you any maid or employee in the house. KK, BL and BB are your kids and family members should take care of them. Don’t worry so much, God will take care of it all…. Your husband has got to feed the family, so he is working hard. A start of any business requires long hours… you are investing in your child’s future! So don’t worry!

Hang in there ! I know it’s tough, my wife takes care of 3 as well but they’re much older.
Just remember to have fun & ‘play’ along with them. It’ll help

Oh,terrible, how to handle 3 by your own? Me handle one already gone crazy! Salute you!
Hang on there, maybe now just a transition period!

shannon,
ya… he is very tired too. just imagine, working for 16 hours almost everyday!
mama bok,
i am not in favor of having maid around. they are costly and we have to take care of them too. furthermore, we cant afford a maid now. if God willing, i would want to be a SAHM when the profit is 2x or more my present salary. it will be another 2-3 years time coz hubby wants to pay up the loan first. by then my children will be older and more manageable.
jess,
gimme me some rope please
so far so good…am coping
DV,
definitely no maid. i would rather resign than having a maid.
chief,
i always forget about the having fun part!!! must keep reminding myself about it. thanks for the tip.
huisia,
God has blessed me with 3. He knew that I can. But I must rely on Him each day.
