有女儿真好。
Snapped this picture today without the big girl knowing but this was a heartwarming moment that I wanted to remember. You know how you need to think positive thoughts and be reminded of the good things when motherhood drags you down, right? This is definitely one of it.
So I was out the whole day since early morning and when we got home in the afternoon, I decided to take a nap with the younger ones after putting the laundry into the washing machine. Yup, that is a lot of clothes, I know, but we have five people and this Mama doesn't do the laundry daily. Anyway, I decided to wake up earlier before dinner time so I can do the laundry before the kids woke.
It's the midst of the year end exams for the big girl and I half expected her to be reading or doing her homework or revision, if she was not napping in her room. I honestly didn't expect to come out to see her hard at work on the sofa, not on her own work but on folding the clean laundry for everyone. By that time, she had already hung the newly washed laundry onto our three-tier clothes rack, all by herself. It must have taken her over an hour to do it on her own, climbing here and there, taking down, putting up and folding the clothing one by one, so I was really touched to see that scene. 内心中的感动是真实的.
She told me she had already decided to do it on her own when she spotted the laundry in the washer so I could take a rest today. Awww. Thank you, my dear Angel. It's okay if you chose not to do your revision for this afternoon because what you did for us out of your own accord far exceeds that already.
P.S. The little sister woke up and was upset to see all the laundry done because she said she had planned to do it after her nap too. Haha. That was a funny moment yet it was a reminder on how blessed I am to have not one but two daughters in my life. Love you, my dears. ❤

folding laundry rack 在 A Happy Mum Facebook 的最佳貼文
Best. Day. Ever.
As a stay home mum of 3, I don't usually get to rest much because of the never ending chores at home. With the Papa away till midnight on most weekdays or not even being able to make it home like tonight, our house is almost always like a war zone and everything is just messy and chaotic. Well, that said, thankfully we are all not that particular about being neat and the kids have said repeatedly "Our house is very cosy what."
Anyway, it was a long day today and I had gone to the school for PV duties, brought the boy out, travelled to get bubble tea, went home to fix lunch, washed the dishes, did up the giveaway post, put the laundry in the washer and that was when I fell asleep together with the kids in the late afternoon. I woke up with a start, remembering that I had to hang the laundry and make dinner for everyone.
Then I heard whispers coming from the living room saying "Quick, we haven't finished yet" and was wondering what game the kids were playing. When I stepped out of my room, I saw a neat pile of folded laundry on the sofa and to my amazement, all the clothes had been taken out of the washer and hung up nicely already. What?! I thought I must be dreaming.
The big girl told me she spent 45 minutes hanging up all the clothes herself - she had to stand on a chair to reach the top rack - and then the sister woke so they spent half an hour keeping, folding and arranging all the clean laundry together. The boy came out just in time to sort the socks and help out with the last bit.
Wow. I think my decision of not getting a dryer is paying off, you know, and these kids have shown how efficient and helpful they can be if they want to.
Well, if only everyday was like today.... Lol. Mai hiam. I am really very thankful when it happens and that they allowed me to get that bit of rest so I can go on strongly.
Putting this on record so I can tell them "Remember the day when you let Mama sleep and surprised me by doing all the laundry yourselves? Let's do it again, shall we?"
