Dear's first business trip

after we have our own children.  Normally i am the one on business trip while he was trapped at home with granny and the kids.  But this time round, its different. I end up the one being trapped at home taking care of the kids hahaha.. anyway, a good chance for dear to rest and sleep well as we seldom able to sleep through the night without waking up in the middle of the night at home.  But this time, it is also different, whilst my MIL and hubby always insists that they needed help and that they cannot take care of two kids at the same time without another adult at home (and i was wondering how my MIL can claim that she have been a nanny before.. hahaha), i opt to do it myself, with little help from my FIL on sat and my own daddy on sunday.  I took care of all their meals, bathe them, do all housework myself on the weekends and play and put them to bed at night.  I took a little help from my FIL and my dad in the daytime, where they pop by to play with the kids so that i can take a little breather and do my housework or own stuff (such as taking my own bath).  I even did a little marketing on sunday morning itself with the two kids all by myself as my dad only pops by around 4pm. Although, it is quite 'xiong' to do everything by myself.  I realise that it is nothing impossible at all.  All these crap about having two kids at home, how impossible it is to take care of them at the same time (the reason my MIL always gives) are just craps.  If you genuinely love the kids and take care of them well.  They will be well behaved and give you less trouble as well.  All those reasons i find are just given for sake of plain laziness and bo chapness.. but well, you couldnt really expect people to work extra for you since they think they are 'salaried' and should not be overworked else underpaid.. sigh.. such sad that even next of kin would be so calculative as well to you..when the main reason why you seek help from family is because you think they will be genuinely true to you when offering help.. what crap! anyway, i have zero expectations from now and we make up our minds that we should just depend on ourselves.  

I am now also even looking for good tingkats, since after the monday incident, after the row i have had with my MIL, she complained to Ferris that she thinks she is working too much (although really her only role is to take care of Calyce in the daytime as well as cooking dinner for us including herself).  But since she is so relunctant and thinks that by doing these is still too much for her, we are adamant to 'shrink' her duties so that her main role is just to take care of Calyce in the day time.  Hopefully after this incident and 'restructuring' of duties, she will not think she is overworked anymore and will pay more attention to Calyce in the future.
