Seriously folks...
I have no idea how many times I've said this, how many times I've explained this, and yet people still have the perception that just because I'm a SAHM, it means I stay at home all the time, that I get all the rest I can, that I'm the free-est person in the whole wide world, that they can just tell me to help them do things and stuff.
Seriously... I'm tired of all this crap.
I am human. I'm not a super woman.
I do get tired.
I do get sick (though I'd really prefer not to and I thank God my hubby and sometimes MIL helps out to take care of Ben when I'm sick).
I do sometimes wish I could go out and spend some 'me' time.
I do want to eat slowly and enjoy my food like how I used to even though it means I have to eat alone with no company.
People who are single, or are not married, or do not have any children or do not have experience taking care of a child (for at least one whole day), they think I get it very easy in life.
They think that I just sit at home, mop around, play with my boy all day long. ALL DAY LONG.
They think just because they freaking had to go to work and encounter and face clients, users, vendors, bosses etc etc that their life is worse than mine.
Seriously.
When YOU feel sick, you get to apply for leave and rest at home.
But what about me? What do I do when I fell sick? Do I get to apply for leave and rest at home ALL DAY LONG?
Seriously.
When YOU think you're so busy with work, please think that once you go home, your work is over (sorry if you're the type of people who brings work home)
And think that how you look forward to weekend so that you can relax and wind down after a hard week at work.
But what about me? When I'm overwhelmed with taking care of my boy ALL DAY LONG, do I get to go home (oh wait... I AM HOME ALL THE TIME!) and rest?
Do I get to look forward to weekend and all? Everyday is the same thing for us.
Seriously.
Think about what I had to go through before you go and make smart opinions of other people's life.
Especially a stay-at-home mum's life.

You have no idea how 'FREE' we are at home 24/7.
You have no idea that even a 10 minutes shower is considered a luxury. (I normally shower with my boy to save time and so I don't have to worry he'll get into any mischief if I bath myself and when I do bath myself, I had to leave the bathroom door open so I can keep an eye on my boy)
You have no idea that even eating alone is a luxury.
You have no idea when you're at your most hungriest and yet you have to feed your child first, and then have to juggle in watching after him as well when you finally get to eat your portion just so that he doesn't throw or cause a mess at the eating table.
So seriously...
The next time I fall sick, if you are not even caring enough to wish me a 'take care' or a 'get well soon' or 'take a rest' or 'drink more water', please just keep quiet and leave me alone.
I do not need to know your opinion that I have all the time in the world to rest since I'm a stay-at-home mum.
When I'm struggling to conserve my energy so that I really do not fall sick, I do not want to read or hear or know all this opinions.
I really don't need to hear all this demotivating things at the moment when I should be resting and concentrating on getting well.
So yeah, go away if you've got nothing good to say.
