I take off my hats off to working mothers. I don’t know how they manage to juggle work, household chores and their kids. I tried to juggle everything but the constant cleaning up after my niece and nephew mess (the sister is the biggest contributor) is very tiring on my patience.

The sister is always trying new things and in the same time messes up everything that I have cleaned. Her favourite is dinner or lunch time. It is my favourite time with her since I could enjoy watching her eat everything and anything on the table.

However there is a downside. She loves eating as much as she loves feeding the floor. Eating time is always followed by a bath after that. After that, it is a breeze.

The younger brother is a darling. But he loves attention and would get irritated whenever nobody entertains him which inevitably irritates everyone with his crying. It grates on my nerves sometimes since he would cry whenever I am busy with work and no one would bother to entertain him as they too have their own responsibilities. His appetite is something to reckon with. He drinks milk, a healthy portion of 4 oz, at every 2 hrs even at night.

It is a good thing my house has my parents, my younger sister and the parents of the kids. Everyone takes a part in taking care of the children as it is a 24/7 job that needs full commitment. I should know since by the end of each day, I felt as if i had just conquered the Juggernaut.

Already two kids are already running lose and driving everyone to buy anti wrinkle eye cream due to the high frequency of frowning. I wonder how my mom reeled all of my siblings (with me inclusive). We were never that angelic when we were younger…
