well, you see, last sunday we were out on the park and i was with my kids and husband. well, of course having two kids and a whole lot of chores i dont get to pamper and take care of my kids that much. the thing is that when we were at the park, i did see mothers / moms who looks like they do have plenty of time to take care of themselves. like make ups on, eyebrows trimmed, hair neatly permed or straightened or ironed! lol. i was like how do they do it? when in fact before leaving the house all i could put on was some face powder and lip gloss lol. because takign care of the kids and seeing things are well before we leave takes a whole lot of time on my part. are you like me? or am i the only one? haha i discussed this with my best friend who also have a kid and she has the same dilemma as mine but lesser maybe because her kid is already quite big enough for him to look after himself. so am i the only one? or everyone else experience this kind of problema? or frustration rather?

Hi jazel,
Not me but my wife is like you. She never bothers about all those trimming and plucking and mascaraing and all. Just nail polish, light lips stick and off the home. She more concerned for the kid who is 7 plus and he is fortunately not a infant terrible.

you sound like you are dissappointed or something, so you wish your wife would dress up more?

Having children is a big responsibility and a lot of work, especially when they are young. In my opinion, you have valid reasons for feeling tired, worn out or that others have an easier time. In truth, there are probably many who feel just as you do. May I suggest that once or twice a month you pay a babysitter for a few hours and you and your husband go out to dinner or to a movie. I think you just need to have a little fun, a reward for all your hard work. May be you should set aside a time during the day for you and you alone. I know there is not much extra time but if you plan ahead, may be you can make this happen. You need time for yourself. May be on your birthday husband can take care of the kids and you can go get your hair and nails done. A little pampering will go a long way in easing your frustrations and tiredness. Try to get plenty of rest and eat well to keep up your strength. Take care.

Personally when I see women out there who are all dressed up with make-up on and their hair always looking really nice and have a lot of kids in tow, it makes me wonder how. I think it is amazing that women can do this especially when their kids are younger. I know even never had kids their are times when I am just running around especially on the days I do not work that to get dressed and comb my hair is enough before heading out the door somewhere as well.

..hi.. I had been into that experience also.. But when I observed moms who looks like they are still single even if they have children already, I began to think also.. I was challenge that if they can do it, then maybe I could do it also.. So when we go out as a family, I move faster so that I could fix myself also.. I try to fix our kid first then leave her to my husband as I fix myself also.. This is the time where you need your husband's assistance also.. Try it.. You just need more effort..
