| Friends... we all need them |
The kids are gone in the morning and when they are home, the house is always a flurry of activity. When the spouse comes home in the evening, mummy is in greater demand than ever. Sometimes, I can't even hear myself as the three of them will be talking to me at the same time and demanding my attention all at once.
I didn't have time to be lonely, or so I thought. However, recently some events made me rethink this.
My domestic helper may be returning to her home country for good. Why, just the thought of this made me cry buckets. I cried till my eyes were all swollen. Why? My helper has been with us for 4 years. In that time, she has not only become a helper in my household chores, she has become a companion and a friend.
Just thinking of how lonely it would be not having someone to laugh with and talk to about the kids and other things makes me realize that sometimes being a SAHM can be quite a lonely job. Pin It

Can totally understand how you feel coz my maid just left us for good in end march after working for us for 5 years. I thought the same thing too ( if u read my personal blog) and i cried so badly when she left..but surprisingly things do turn out ok after she left. I have no time to feel lonely. I am more independent than what i expected.
ReplyDeleteI know the thought of it caused a lot of emotional stress but well, maybe she will stil stay and if she really leaves, trust me, you wil be fine.
It is not the ability to cope that I am worried about. I have coped without a confinement lady or maid or any other help from anyone with a newborn and toddler. If I could do that, I can certainly cope without help now that the kids are older. It is the company I would miss. *Sniff*
Deletei also sometimes miss my ex maid altho we weren't in good terms when she left. Sometimes i just wonder if she is living the life that she wanted, or she is stil in msia or what. But deep inside i wish her all the best. Lonely yeah... when my kids in sch, i am lonely. But usually housework keeps me busy from being lonely.
ReplyDeleteSasha, we can't help but form an attachment and hope that they will have a good life later on.
Deleteit must be a tough time there, when a close friend like this is leaving, eventhough she is just a maid by name. hope you will be fine soon :) cheer up!
