Happy Mother's Day to me, an appreciation post to my husband

I woke up today at 3pm with the kids. My husband woke up earlier. He cleaned the house, washed the clothes and the dishes. Lastly, he turned on the music in full blast. Hahaha!

Happy Mother’s Day to me. I can’t be a happy mother without the loving and handsome father of my beautiful and adorable kids.

My husband is such a hands-on father to our kids. From changing diapers, to bathing them, to changing clothes. He cooks our food and prepares baby food when they were 6 months. He brings them to doctor appointments. He does all the home chores when I can’t do all.

Technically, I just gave birth to two kids (in 2 years) and breastfeed them. In fact, these two tasks are very exhausting already. How much more if those other tasks will be added to my daily routine? Stressful.

I’m thankful to my husband for giving me a convenient life as a mother. Thank you for fulfilling your promise to my mother, that is to take care of me.

As usual, ge kilig na pod akong matres. Hahaha!

I am writing this appreciation post to my husband on Facebook because I don't post about him there. He prefers to stay away from Facebook. He doesn't like I post photos of him there. Every time I find handsome photos of him, I am tempted to publish it but I always ask his permission.

Well, some Mariteses on Facebook in the Philippines are thinking that I am currently having a postpartum depression just because I was having a debate with them in terms of politics. They took all my political comments very personally so they attacked me personally. Saying I am living a sad life here in France. LOL

I am very much well-pampered by my husband here although he complains I am very slow to do all the house chores. I accepted the fact that I am slow. But when I try to be fast, I get exhausted so easily.

It is mother's day but I don't want to post that it is all about me. To be honest, I can't do everything as a mother if without my husband.

When your husband makes you happy, you become a happy wife. You become a happy mother and a happy father to your kids.

My own mother is already in heaven. She gave birth to three kids and I am the eldest. I don't know how my mother sacrificed everything when she was alive despite of the constant fights they had with my father. Unfortunately, her story was just different compared to mine.

I am sure that my mother is happy of my situation here in France as my husband fulfilled his promise to her. I can't forget the day they had a video call. My mother said thank you to Fred but he never heard her. My mom lost her voice and eyesight already. She had difficulty to speak but she heard Fred. It was difficult to see my mother who was dying.

To my mother, even though she is physically gone, she still appears in my dreams once in a while. I miss you very much mama!
