Life is hard as it is minding one baby most of the time and three kids some of the times. Why then, do I still insist on:
1. using 'home-made' cotton wool pads over baby wipes? Every time the cotton wool pads run out, or are running short, I have to 'make' again - add water, soak cotton wool in water, tear off pieces by pieces.
2. using cloth nappies over disposable diapers? Every time the baby urinates, I must change and wash the nappy. Woe befalls me when the baby passes one of her major motions...
3. not using rocker and pacifier, especially to keep her asleep? My arms ache, need I say more?
4. doing partial breast feeding instead of full formula? Now I have to pump, with baby looking on, ready to cry any moment, and it takes from me precious time that I could have used to do housework or go to sleep.
5. hand-washing most of the clothes instead of using the washing machine? I can only say it's a tradition passed down...
6. not getting a maid or part-time one at least???
But stubborn, block-headed me will still trudge along, resisting any changes for the better.
I have found it near impossible to write blogs using only one hand and carrying a sleeping baby on the other. Consider this then an amazing feat, motivated by my eagerness to question my own idiosyncrasies...
