Loads of laundry, house cleaning, cooking, cleaning the fridge and freezer. That was my Monday routinary chores. I would like to iron clothes but not enough clothes for me to iron. I have ironed dozen clothes before or almost have the clothes perma pressed neatly and hang them in the closet. Not a glamorous way to tell you seems like I'm this old maid from an old story. But that's what a good mother is. I know my son hate me for being just here at home doing the mother's work. I should be working in the office and look glamorous, gorgeous and sexy wearing an office girl's nice outfit and high-heeled stilletos. That's his ideal picture of a mother. Social and professional complete with make-up and wearing famous designer's sweet scented expensive perfume.
Dude if that's my appearance we wont have a family anymore! I'll be living in another house in the sub-urban area, in a high-class condo and I wont think about my children nor my husband. I'll be living my life alone and don't care about anything but my life and work nothing else. Now you know why too many women who took the charge to remain single. No other obligation and responsibility to deal with other than themselves.
Then a friend of mine who had one complaint that her son used to have these so many complaints whenever she arrived home. She was a working mom and she really doesn't have much time for her family. That her kids never see her most of the time because she is always busy working. That's what it is the complaints becomes bigger each passing day and eventually you know what happened afterwards. It's just like the movie of a dysfunctional family.
So many lives were intertwined and messed up with dreams, wishes and ambitions and people who cannot understand priorities until it happened to them. Ah, kids will be kids and their opinion is not so mature enough. It takes years, even generation to open up their minds. These kids are like "oak trees" before they can have self-actualization and realization of what life is.
Sometimes giving them example of the other families and their lives being played on TV which mirrored your life and the lives of those who watched them daily. Soap drama. You want a dramatic sort of inspiration to get you by? Watch TV drama and you'll learn from every episodes. I'm not a drama queen so having my own reality dramatic role at home is hard to come by. I could throw tantrums once in a while like throwing and breaking plates on the floor but God knows what kind of tectonic plate be inspired with my obnoxious act.
