Some updates about how the boy is doing at the new babysitter’s place. I’m glad to say that I was worrying for nothing yesterday as he was doing just fine. No doubt he did cry badly once in the afternoon yesterday, but that was quite expected seeing that it was his first day with total strangers, right? I expected him to have more moments of unease but he apparently did not. And this morning before going over to the babysitter’s, I told him that we’ll be going to her place for him to play with the aunty and uncle there, and he showed no signs of resistance nor was he unhappy. So with that, I’m very happy that so far the transition has been rather smooth.
Today, both my better half and I are off from work. It’s been a long time since we both have taken time from work on a weekday together and do nothing. But we’re not spending time together. In fact, we’re both doing our own things, having complete me-time to ourselves. I’m at home watching my Wah Lai Toi, blogging and browsing the internet looking for good bargains and promotional products, while he’s gone out for a much needed Thai massage to ease his back. This morning we went out for brunch at a coffee shop which we’ve been unable to do for so long! We actually enjoyed being able to eat leisurely and read the newspapers. We haven’t been to coffee shops for a long time and it was refreshing for a change!
But while we are spending me time, I also feel guilt that the little boy is at the babysitter’s. I think this is normal, as other mummies like Amy and Busy Bee have shared similar feelings too. But like Busy Bee says, we all need some time alone to keep refreshed.
Anyway, I have a week more of such me time and I don’t think it’s too long more for me to enjoy the time. I wonder if I would get bored doing this over a long period of time. Could I just try this out for 6 months? I so wish…
