Journey of life

I have promised myself not to blog bout my work, hence i delete the previous posting. I shall keep my working stories back in my closet once i reach home and think bout other stuff....haha.

Ah.. i havent mentioned that my parents are here didn't i. Yupp they arrived last Wednesday to take care and spoilt the kids. You see the first day my parents arrive my dear Aariz had a lollipop before his sleep. May not be a big deal for others but hey my kid tooth is starting to decay...the front one. And i tried my best not to make it getting worst.....Part of he's not going to look that cute and handsome...he will be in pain as well. Anyway that is for the first day. The second day he got to eat almost a whole box of master potato by himself during lunch time. There's goes his routine of having decent lunch and obediently sits and eat during eating time. So the rest ...is history.

When we are first assign to this project, we are a bit unsure on how we are going to take care the kids. You see.. we've got all the help that we want and we feels so secure that we leave the house early in the morning and be back at home just in time to get them to sleep. Once we were in Miri, alternately we leave him back in KL for a week and have been flying in and out almost every week. We do it as we thought that is the best for the kids where at least somebody that are closed to us can really love and take a good care of him while we are working. But is it really the best option ? Of course along the way the kids become super duper manja with the grandparents and yah at some point of time refused to be with us. That is the price to pay for us to get more time to work and more money i guess.

So when we accept this project, we were actually was thinking to leave one of our kid, until the very last minute we change our mind. And guess what!!! I'm glad. We reach here and the first few week are very chaotic. We manage slowly to split the house chores and put some routine for the kids. I am lucky as hubby are happy to do some stuff that i dont like to do (ie: basuh ayam, basuh baju, basuh berak budak hehe) and i guess he's also lucky as i exceed his expectation on cooking :D. As for the kids, we put them in a seperate room (both of them in the same room) and we bought a baby monitor to ensure that we are alert if they wake up, crying or so on and so forth. And after a week or two, they can just sleep by themself in their own room. A part from that, Aariz especially...happy to brush his teeth (back in KL he will scream if we want to brush his teeth) and now he can do it by his own. We toilet train him and wallaaaa in a week time he didnt wear diaper during day time. (we still put his diaper on during nite as we are lazy to clean up the mess in case accident happen). He woke up early in the morning sits on his chair and eat by himself. Lot's more things that we as a family has finally able to manage by ourself and by the second month we are here, we already settled down. The feelings of how we are actually capable of managing our own family and to see how the kids really2 love us and being independent and they actually listen to you is a bliss!. For those who stays near their parents and get help from them will know what im saying.

I would think some how our generation is being shielded to much from our parents that even that when we are married and has a kids, we are afraid to move out. Maybe not all of you but i know they are people who are like us. We are the generation who would like to spend more than what we afford, hence we are still there in the comfort zone where we get our parents to still provide. At the end of the day we get the comfort on the material ...but value of life ? ....whether are we really doing our part as a husband, wife, parents and kids for our parents?

Back to the grandparents, so they are here to actually again help taking care of the kids. Hubby going for training and i'm away for outstation. But as we start to live by our own....the grandparents will still spoilt the kids. Some routine goes down to the drain.....but the feelings now are differents. As this is our house, we pays the bills, and i do take care of them while they are here. I'm moving one step of playing my role of taking care of my parents. Not 100% yet. But i'm moving forward. I do feels somehow that my parents are proud...that finally maybe their little daughter has actually grown up. Taking the ownership of running the family and playing the role as a grown up child for the parents is somehow another achievement for the journey of life. And having them playing a truly grandparents role are also a happiness to me.

Now the grandparents may spoilt my kids, and yah they (both kids and grandparents) deserve it once a while....but not for long! Once they are back....You kids shall go back to your routine!!!!!!!! Haha :p
