"She sleeps late, so am I"

Being a mother has no exact break and no exact vacant time, it's always preoccupied with something because we have a lot of things to be done such as taking care of the house and taking care of the kids. It is a 24/7 job because we have to do all the things especially if it is related to the kids, and related to the husband.

She sleeps late so am I

My daughter since she was little she sleeps late, her exact time of sleeping is 11 PM. There were times I turn off the lights early so she will sleep, but she never did she's still jumping on the bed despite that the lights were off, she isn't afraid of the dark at all. There was also a time, I fall asleep first since I pretended to be asleep so she will sleep too, when I was awake I had goosebumps where she is because she's not on my side only to find out she went to her grandma and grandpas room. That was the time I give up my tricks just to let her sleep early because it ends up I slept first while shes not. I already did all the scolding, talking slowly just to let her sleep early but it doesn't work at all. She always ends up sleeping at 11 PM. I always envy those kids who sleep early, because if she sleeps early I still have time some "me" time but it never happens. When she's sleeping, I still have to check her before I sleep because she sweats a lot causing her to have dry coughs even if the aircon is on, she is really warm-blooded while I am freezing, I don't like cold temperatures very much. I have to monitor her front and back if it does not sweat since she had been admitted due to pneumonia before. So I slept probably 11:30 PM onwards, I slept late especially if I am surfing the net. No matter how much I wanted to sleep early I can't because I also cannot sleep knowing the brat is not yet sleeping, she might do something terrible.

In the morning she wakes up at 6 AM to ask for milk so I will wake up too to give her milk and she will fall asleep again wake up at 9:30 AM. The problem is that we adults, once our sleep is disturbed we cannot sleep back easily just like kids, so I always end up lacking sleep. Sometimes I checked the site then went back to sleep again.

Take her to an afternoon walk

Before when the pandemic is not yet existing, every afternoon I take her to walk outside so she can use some of her reserves energy, she also likes it a lot. The reason I take her to walk ever afternoon was to make her tired so she will fall asleep early but that wasn't effective at all. She is really very hyper kiddo, it seems that her energy is unlimited. Maybe because of her vitamins, she gets hyper. I dunno or it's just it runs on the blood since her cousins are all hyper kids too.

Mother has no day-offs

All mothers don't have any day-off at all, we are on call 24/7 to assist. Especially if one of the family members is sick or the kids. We sleep late to watch over them. We usually don't have "me" time because the kids linger in us so much. So, I hope some husband who is reading this to take out your wife sometimes outside or let her have a break. Let her have some time for herself.

Mothers are multitasker

When it comes to multitasking we are the masters of it. We do multitasking to finish things accordingly because if we won't, probably some task will be piled up because our time was consumed watching the kids mess around.

While writing this I am really sleepy, time check 10:03 PM I still have one hour to go before she falls asleep, currently, she's outside with her grannies while I am lying writing this one. I really wanted to sleep now but she's not going inside our room when her grannies do not turn off their lights too. Grrrrrrr! Zzzzzz 😴😴
