Mixed feelings with Abby
Greetings to all Mom's , aunties, uncle's and fathers here in this community.
My experience today, So today I went to work with my toddler and our day in the office was sweet but little bit of stress. Couple with the fact that I have to look After her. After the whole day at work , we came back home , so I decided to fix something for us to us. Because she's a picky eater, after the preparation I fed her. I was tired I decided to just rest my back on my bed , I carried her to the bedroom , trying to make her sleep then I dozed off.
After some minutes, about 15 to 20 minutes I jumped up, I noticed the house was quite, because it was just the both of us that were at home, my sister in-law hasn't returned from work nor my husband so it was just the both of us at home. Then I turned seeing my daughter has done wonders with my powder and was swimming in it. With the excitement on her face , when I opened my eyes, I was confused on what to do as at the time.
Mixed Feelings
The expression on her face made me weak, I didn't know what to do, if I am to cry, smile, laugh, beat her or what? I was just staring at her in amazed, at a point I smiled with her, asking me: Abby what have you done, and she began speaking in an unknown language that only she understands. I was confused, I tried carrying her to change her clothes she refused at some point, she agreed, but then added to my stress. Because I was already exhausted for the day and didn't expect any more of stress all I needed as at that time was rest. I had to remove the bed spread, lay another one then take the other to wash and in this rainy season that clothes hardly gets dry and it was already evening.
In Conclusion
Life with a toddler indeed needs requires patience, tolerance, sensitivity, But the joy of being a mother can't be over emphasized.
