Day off please!

A week before my birthday ,I was planning to visit my parents and stay there for 5 days with my son ,so the plan was April 12 we will go there and back home here at April 18 at afternoon.But because of the typhoon Agaton and my hometown where my parents are living is affected of the typhoon ,so we decided not to visit them and my siblings told me to visit in the last of April ,hopefully I can have extra money so that we can visit them.

As a mom of two ,and never had a day ofc since the day that I became a mom ,and there are a lot of times that I felt so tired.Staying my parents is makes me feel rest and I consider it as my day off.

Why I wanted to stay with my parents?

I wanted to stay there even a few days coz its the only day that I can rest ,Staying at my parents makes my mind and body having a rest.

Rest from doing laundry

I have many siblings at my parents house,each of my siblings are designated different chores.So if I was at my parents home ,its the best time that I can rest and having a feeling of what's a day off of being a mom.

My mother and sister was the one who did our laundry if we stay there.So meaning ,I can rest for doing my laundry here.Doing laundry is a hard thing to do especially if you had a baby .I can only wash my laundry if my baby was sleeping but if we are at my parents home ,I don't have any problem about my laundry.

Thinking and preparing food

Thinking what to prepare is one thing that makes me stress especially if we don't have enough budget.Here at my inlaw's house I am the one who prepared our food.It makes me feel so tired thinking that how many we are living here but I am only the one who will do this.Its not easy since I have kids.I will share the last time tha I cried here,it was 5:30 in the afternoon and no one touch the kitchen as what I expected,so I started cooked rice and let my baby watch tv and I leave the cooked rice while I was gathering some vegetables that I am going to cook for dinner ,but my son was going out and keep running outside.So I follow him and get him inside coz I have something to do .But after a while he was going out again coz he knows how to open the door ,he keeps running but no one was offered to watch him ,they are all busy doing attending their phones ,so I get my son and continue what I did at the kitchen.I honestly cried because of this and can't stop me thinking my situation .

In my parents home ,I don't have any problem in terms of preparing food,my ate is the one who prepared our food.

Cleaning the house

After the typhoon odetted destroyed our house,we live here at my in laws,when I saw many spider web in the ceiling ,I cleaned it ,I cleaned the toilet ,the sala and the kitchen.When I checked the backyard which a lot of garbage ,I cleaned it also .This is my only way of paying back if what my sister in law did to us ,she always there to help us but thinking that the people here are never thinking my effort of cleaning makes me super tired.Yun bang parang wala lang sa kanila,for example,they are having their snacks at the balcony then they leave there mess ,they did't even throw their garbage ,I can understand naman kung mga bata pa sila gaya ng mga anak ko but they are old enough.

While at my parents home ,my younger siblings assigned the cleaning of the house.

I know I don't have the right to complain kasi nakikitira lang kami ,but tao din ako ,napapagod .I wanted to rest ,thats why I told my husband that were going to visit my parents and he asking me if how many days we stay there ,I told him 5-6 days coz I wanted to rest and its fine for him naman .

One of my husband's nephew asked me if I am their maid here,anyway he was 8 ir 9 years old that time ,so he asked me this way "Tita ,maid ka dito"?then I asked him why he asked me that question and he answered " coz youre the one who did cleaning ,cooking ". Of course I did't get mad of him and I told him ,that you will help me by cleaning your mess ha. Dati napagkamalan akong yaya ng anak ko ,tapos katulong naman hahaha.

Its not easy pero kailangan kong magtiis,minsan naman din nakakatulong din sila sa akin lalo na kapag namalengke ako ,may magbabantay sa anak ko.Yun lang ,gusto kong magpahinga kahit saglit.

Thank you for youf time🥰
