It's bad enough missing my little baby, I also have to miss my own mummy. No more mummy to accompany me to the market for my weekly food supplies:( But i hope my mum is having lots of fun - she's holidaying in UK right now. Think she really deserves it coz she's been getting migraine from both Zaydeen and the maid :-p
Though I miss them dearly, but I guess it's not too bad an experience.
Firstly I get back some ME time to do the things I want to do.
Secondly I learn to be more appreciative of my love ones.
Thirdly I'm also more appreciate of my maid - despite how lazy she is at times, I learnt that it is really tiring taking care of the house and keeping it sparkling clean.
Fourthly my in laws now know their grand-daughter is like an energizer battery and is not that easy to handle.
And lastly, it's good to have some time alone with my husband - to finally be able to go on dates without the little one in between and to have conversations with him without Zaydeen butting her face in the middle of us.
And I think the dogs love it too coz I get to give them more attention and they don't have a little kid running after them and trying to wrestle them :-p
So my recommendation - YES this should be an annual affair but maybe a shorter time frame - 2 weeks maybe? :D
