I would like to ask this to all mothers. How do you manage holding an academic position while being a wife, mother and homemaker at the same time? Well, I am not currently employed in a company. I stayed at home all day and night together with my little angel of my life. I sometimes blog if I get a chance. And now, I realize that many women today live in a similar situation.
In this stage, mothers performing other roles do not sound uncommon. The question perhaps which these well-meaning friends really want to ask is this: How do you behave as a wife, subordinate to your husband, while occupying your time with your child? Truthfully, it is hard. I am just lucky because my husband never acted like a king in our home. In fact, he has time to take care of our only child when he gets a chance, or sometimes even if he is tired from work. He likes being with his little angel. Just like when he arrived from work today, instead of laying his back on the bed, so he could rest for a while, he played with Sarah. That was really an awesome scene for me. I just hope that hubby will always be a devoted father to Sarah, and a supportive husband to me.

I can relate to you mommy! My husband luckily helped me at home, he understood the fact that being a wife, doing household chores and watching kids can be a lot of work. Therefore, he always gives me a me/rest day to just enjoy myself alone.
I can relate Sis Cai! Having a baby to take care of is quite a handful. Thank goodness for supportive husbands. When hubby is off work, he help me with Baby D, clean the house, and even cook whatever foods I want to eat...:-)
Mommy Cai, I was about to become a regular teacher in a public school back home but I gave it up for my two little boys. I had no regrets and I am thankful too that my hubby is also very supportive of my endeavors. He is also a hands-on dad and we take turns in taking care of the little boys. It's tough to be a mom, and we don't get paid for everything we do, but as long as our families show back their love for us, then it's worth than all the money in this world.
well, for one thing you are to be commended for what you are accomplishing right now. Not many mom's out there who can work, take care of the house and at the same time go to school. whew! that's too much for me hehehhe. Still you are thankful because like you said you have a very supportive husband.
for me: i completed my bachelor's degree and when i move in USA, got a job, however when i became a mother, and i am thousand miles, away from my family, i have no were to rely when it comes to my kids, i sacrifice for a while for them and for my husband in order to have a wonderful family, close and good that we mothers has to do this for our kids for they needed us the most during this time...
Life is complicated when one makes it as it is. But for me, life is simple so why make it complicated? Hehe. Pareho jud tag mga role diri sa America Cai. Wife and mom isn't easy kay kung stay-at-home, pastilan, tanan bulohaton sa panimalay atoa jud. Ako naundang akong pagka-OCD when I became a mom kay di magsilbi, magsakit akong heart kung seryosohon naku ang mga gagmay nga kalat. I am thankful God blessed me with a very simple husband. Sya pud nag-teach sa akoa nga life is so simple ug di problemahon ang mga gagmayng butang. Kung gikapoy, magpahulay. Kung katulgon, matulog. Kung gigutom, mokaon. Kung mag-give and take lang ang husband-and-wife, life is so simple ra jud kaayo. :)
There are many people like that madam but for us that stay at home mom so di complicated hehehe. Good for you to have a hubby like him. Unlike others wow so bad...
I experienced to be in school, working, taking care of 2 kids, the household chores, blogging, and others. It sounds overwhelming, but time management and also thankful for the husband's support in everything. Wala jud tay lain masangpit kundi ato rang pares. It's really tough but this is the life here ug we have to adopt to it.
I can't relate to this yet since i am not yet a mother plus hubby's not here. I am just happy for you sis that you finally have a little angel of your own and that you have a responsible husband who helps you, even in that little way, in taking care of your little bundle of joy
Momi Cacai, you are not alone :-( sometimes I feel like I am a SINGLE MOm raising my two kids :-( My husband has a shifting work schedules and most of the time he works overtime and when he gets home he is very tired and the kids wants his attention too but he cannot coz he is very tired especially working 16-19 hours :-( I do understand money is important but family too :-)
Kaya I don't really want to work just yet kasi my kids still pretty much needs me. It will be so much harder when you ARE Working, attending to your kids needs, and at the same time a wife.
It's a bit hard to answer the query being asked on the post because I am yet to be a mother. I am not in a very strong position to offer any valuable comments as regards to being a mother. However, I believe I won't encounter any huge problems that can't be resolved in the future because I've got a very supportive and loving husband- to- be. He used to tell me "I need a wife, not a slave." He would often tell me "there are no perfect relationships, just compatible partners."
I have worked all my life so I don't think I'd ever stay at home and just take care of the kids. But I don't think it will ever become a problem for us if ever God will allow us to be parents one day.
I am happy for you Cai that your little princess is growing to be such a loveable little darling. I am praying for the success of her surgery a few years from now.
Love and hugs,
LAINY
I'm a mother of 7 years old and 10 mos old baby. I worked 8 hrs a day and go to school at the same time. My hubby helps me everyday with the house chores. He would load the dishes,wash the bottles and load the laundry. If I have a class we usually take out food from the restaurant. My 7 year old daughter would help watch her sister while I am cooking and after dinner I help my 7 year old daughter with her home works. Life being a mother is not easy but if everybody is helping it'll get a little easier. :)
