So I’m writing my last exam tomorrow – finally! ????
My helper/nanny is away and my boys can be such a handful – I’d hardly have time to review my work. AND My hubby’s working late with back to back deadlines.
So I called in some help. But at first I thought, aargh I’ll just bathe them, feed them and get them to bed, then I’ll study. But that would mean studying through the exhaustion. Bath time alone is a gym session! An SOS sent out to my younger brother and sister came back with excited signals to take on the challenge.

Even as a woman with friends who have kids, I feel we need to be willing to help each other and go out of our way. Our kids need and require us to be level headed. If you feel you need a tea break away from the kids – just ask someone to babysit for a couple of hours, it does not make you a monster or a horrible mom. It makes you human.
Sometimes it’s not easy asking for help but we need it. Our kids need us to be strong and sane, for their own sanity too.

I am planning on studying again next year, I am obviously a sucker for punishment lol, because I still remember walking around the house like a zombie when I had exams, a full time job and 2 boys to take care of! Being away from home means I dont have a large network of people to help, so its always hard. We need a support group lol
Whoah I once requested my baby daddy to take me out without the baby after I gave birth it was the only things I needed to get a break but for my bad luck he couldn’t understand how much I needed my time. I really needed that tea break
I’m a new mom and everything is a whirlwind of events. I always feel guilty and incompetent every time I want to take a quick shower, or pee, or poop or just have a cup of tea. My partner has work and tries to chip in sometimes but I always feel so guilty.
