Thank u for buying me the handphone i liked so much that u searched the whole island for becos it was out of stock everywhere.
Thank u for giving me money after i begged.
Thank u for giving my father a huge angbao at my request for his birthday.
Thank u for bringing dinners back home for me.
Thank u for mopping the floor sometimes before u go to work.
Thank u for chiding me that i am the one who dun understand u when i said u dun understand me.
Thank u for letting me know that u kept a diary noting how many times u have already washed the bottles last week so that i can no longer grumble when i ask why didn't u help me wash the bottles.
Thank u for telling me to shut up that day when u know i was so depressed at that time.
Thank u for not hugging me when u know i needed it most.
Thank u for storming out of the room leaving me alone to sleep crying when i asked why didn't u help me wash the bottles.
Thank u for letting me realise that for all that u've provided for me, i should just accept whatever else u give me.
That i should be thankful already.
That i should count my lucky stars.
That i should never ever have anymore complaints.
That i should have no more rights to expect anything else from u.
That i should just be happy.
Sorry.
But i think i can never ever be as happy as u'd like me to be.
I think i can never ever be truly happy again.
Because to u, i may be worth doing all that u've done for me.
But to myself, i am just a worthless piece of junk.
8ecause everytime i try looking for support, or that bit of comfort from u, u ask me whether i have in turn given u sypport.
Everytime i cry, u just walk out of the room.
Do u still love me?
Don't ask me back whether i still love u. Please don't always ask me back the same question after i asked u.
Now i know why i should just keep quiet. because i can never have the comfort i seek.
Now, i think i am just living for Sean.
For all the rest, my heart has just died.
Thank u.

Babe,
u're not alone..
cos I m feeling the same way u're feeling now
whatever we do,
it's what we should do.
we nv get appreciated cos to them,
this is our responsibility.
whatever they do,
we must be grateful to them cos they think that by bringing in income for the family,
they need not do any other things.
including helping with their kids,
& caring for their wives.
we have soo many things to tk cr of..
& when we're down, all we need is words of comfort n a hug.
but we don't get it cos the men think that they have done enough for the family.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
hugs for u....
Hihi, i have been following your blog since i am preggy and now my boy is 5 mths old.
Is a joy reading ur blog and seeing Sean's photos!
I actually weep when i saw your post.
I salute your decision to be a full-time mum and admire your determination in breastfeeding!
I guess is common to be emotional and quarrel with hubby over his fair share of parents load. I realised that i quarrel with my hubby more since my boy is born and i always cried and ask myself "Did i marry the right man?". But w/o him i will not have my boy who brought us so much joy and laughter!
Look at Sean and think back to the time when he was just a small sac in your tummy, think of the man who accompany you thru this wonderful journey, i am sure it will bring a smile right from your heart!
hey girl... i've been following yr blog. It's hard, I know... and you've sacrificed so much, almost to the point of losing yr own identity - to be his wife, Sean's mother... but who are you really? Mayb it's becos you havent paid much attention to yourself... and when u feel challenged n depressed, you look to him for comfort... it's hard to explain but, the only person who can make u happy, is yrself... there are times i look to my husband for comfort, sometimes i find it, other times i dont. and i put myself in his shoes, he's faced with his stress n difficulties, if he must share his wife's burdens, who shares his burdens with him?
Love Sean, Love Steve but most important, you have to love yourself... love yourself enough not to let depression destroy you... We're all here for you babe... now if u could just reply my SMS pls :)
HI, MinHui,
Do take care & dun think so much.
I can feel for you as I am going to join your "vocation - SAHM" soon wef Nov to take care of my 2 sons. I can imagine that it is not easy to bear with his insensitivity (maybe that is the guy's inborn nature in general) since we need to get the household allowance from him who is bringing home the $$bread$$.
Indeed like what Jo said, you must really LOVE yourself while taking care of Sean & Steve. Maybe you can consider taking a short breaks for yourself (alone) to meet up friends and unwind by getting someone to bb sit Sean for a few hrs in the afternoon.
How abt. we meet up in Nov for a catchup tea since I will be home based and am staying in the west. ^_^
My hp is still the same if you still have my contact. XXXX3552 or e-mail me claireboey@gmail.com.
looking forward to hear from you soon. ok? ^_^ Cuiping
