A few days ago, I had one of those days where housechores just get the better of me. I was so tired from work that arriving home and realizing i have to cook dinner, feed the kids, bathe them and supervise my son with his homework then study for my exams hit me so hard, I couldn't stop my tears from falling. Pathetic, i know :) But I bet my entire life's savings (which is not much hehe) that some of you can relate.
Vince, who saw me crying while washing a mountain of dirty pots and pans, came up to me.
Vince: Mama, what's wrong?
Me: Nothing. I'm just tired.
Vince: Okay. Is there anything I can help you with?
Me: No, I'm okay. You can help me by doing your homework now.
Vince: Are you sure? I can wash the plates if you want.
Me: No, that's fine.
This time, I was already sobbing. Not anymore because I was tired, but because I was deeply touched by Vince's gesture.
I might be off-track with housechores sometimes but I'm pretty sure I'm on the right track with parenting :-)
