Diary of a (Part-time) Housewife

Mum fell sick yesterday...

She was feverish and suffering from flu. She stayed in the room and slept most of the time. So I took over her role in the family.

Mum washed a load of clothes before going to sleep. So I collected the clothes, folded them, swept the floor, and prepared teatime for both dad and myself. After that, I made ABC porridge for mum to have as dinner. Cooked 3 days' portion. Fried an egg as well.

Sis came back early, worried over mum's condition. She dabao-ed some dishes back but it wasn't enough for the whole family. So I cooked rice, and fried eggs again.

Freaking tired after that. Didn't even have much appetite for dinner. Cleaned the stove and washed some dishes after that somemore. =S

Luckily mum got better. So it was a relief to all of us... cause we can hand all the housechores back to her again... Kakaka.. Of course not lah!!! It's because she's feeling better and getting well lah... XD

Moral of the story,

IT'S NOT EASY BEING A HOUSEWIFE EH!!!!!

Read about an article in a Singaporean magazine yesterday. It said some researchers in the UK conducted a study and found out that an averaged housewife works for at least 9hours everyday!!!!! No weekend break, no MC, no public holidays, no annual leaves!!!!! And if they were paid for what they do each day according to the market price, they would have earned S$90,000 a year, equivalent to the pay of a senior executive in Singapore!!!!!

OMG!!!!! Our mums are sooooo rich!!!!! If only they were paid lah... Kakaka... XP

See? That's how much work and effort our mums put into the family le. So, ppl, make sure u love ur mum more and pamper her with all that she asks of u, k? Sayang sayang her, hug hug her, kiss kiss her... just do whatever u can to make her feel ur love, k? Mums are noble!!!!! =)
