Today I am angry!
As a SAHM I have a list of things that need to be done every day while simultaneously entertaining, feeding and cleaning a 6 month old.
As a SAHM living in a TINY apartment in Hong Kong, some of these things are best done as soon as I wake up, before the baby naps so as not to disturb him when he does.
As a SAHM I don't have to work in an office, go to boring meetings or hand in reports but I NEVER expected to be called selfish.
I am clumsy and make a lot of noise while going about my chores - it's a Thompson thing - blame my Dad! It was this noise that upset my husband. While he ate his breakfast and watched Luke play on the floor; me doing the dishes, putting away other dishes, making his cup of tea, getting the washing on, organising the recycling and sorting the dry washing was too noisy! I upset his morning peace and quiet so I am selfish...
.... Grrrrr!
I love breastfeeding; Luke loves breastfeeding and it makes for a very settled, healthy little chap. BUT it does tie me to Luke. I have not had more than 30 minutes off (expect for 2.5 hours to go to a wedding when Luke was 6 weeks old and would still take a bottle) in 6 months. My day is structured the way it is to best suit Luke and his routine. Now I find I have to stay quiet until hubby leaves the house!
WHAT ABOUT ME!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Oh, brother. Maybe he was having an off day? Woke up grumpy for some reason? Has he complained about noise before? :o(
