Stay-at-home dad

3 Replies

Not in my husband’s immediate plan. But if ever I have an offer to work abroad, I’m confident to leave my kids to their father’s care because I know he can perform the role of both mom and dad to them. I will have no worries handing over the management of our home to him. I’m proud to say that he can wash, iron and fold clothes, he can clean the house, and he can prepare, but not cook food (oops). He can be their tutor too (remember he’s good in math).

He’s also our all around handyperson. Imagine even during his day offs; he still manage to help around the house instead of resting. That’s the kind of person he truly is. Ever wonder how he can perform all that. Well, it could be the men’s vitamin that he is taking that gives him the stamina. He could pass for a SAHD alright, but there’s one slightly negative trait that he needs to improve on. He should learn to be stricter to our kids because he has the tendency to spoil our kids. Hmmm…

Bedtime habit

Leave a reply

Although it’s a bit late, I’m glad I was able to join Couple’s Corner this week which theme was about bedtime habits. It’s a common practice for hubby and me to take a shower before going to bed. Our kids are also accustomed to have sponge bath every night or if they are too sleepy to clean up, they make sure they changed into something more comfortable. They drink their milk and brush their teeth before sleeping. They also say their prayers at night.

Hubby and I follow the same routine every night. As far as sleeping position is concerned, I sleep in fetal position with my back facing my husband. While in this position, hubby would wrap his arms around me as if assuring me of his “undying” love lol. We were in that position until we dozed off. Sometimes we love to sleep on the far side of the bed.

I read something about the sleeping positions of couples and what it tells about their relationship. I don’t seem to agree with the meaning of some positions in relation to the personality of couples. There are sleeping positions that you and your partner  do not feel doing, like sleeping face to face. I’m not comfortable with it because I can’t seem to breathe properly when my face is so close to hubby’s.

I wish to share more, but I feel so sleepy right now. Read more about Couple’s Corner here.

Brutally honest

My only sister was shocked to see me like this (big). Instead of giving me a hug after nine months of not seeing each other, she teased me, “Sis, what did you do to make you grow that big?” I didn’t get offended because I know where she’s coming from.

pimplesShe’s also quite concerned about my unusually big pimples. She suggested having my acne treated by a dermatologist. But I said I don’t have enough resources to pay for the services of a skin expert. Besides even if I have the money now, visiting a derma clinic is not in my priority list. What I can afford right now is a cost-effective treatment for adult acne. I know there are a lot of over-the-counter remedies for acne, but I don’t bother to check on one. What I’m using right now is an anti-bacterial facial wash to clean the dirt and oil off my face. That’s just it. But if you can recommend anything to treat my acne using natural ingredients, I would love to hear about it.
