Life with children : How it’s been so far

Welcome to Leonny's site! If you're new at Everyday Things and you enjoy the site, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. This way you'll be notified whenever there's a new post! Thanks for visiting!

Now that I have two kids and am raising them fulltime, I can say I get this one question a lot from people :

‘How has it been so far? ‘ (or in other words, ‘How are your coping?’, ‘Don’t you get stressed out?’)

…

I’ve shared quite a bit in the past on the ups and downs of life with kids, like the time when :

I wondered if I could survive managing my life with kids (I was pregnant with my no. 2 at the time)

I shared why I never look down on my decision to raise my own children fulltime (Anya, my first born, was 19 months at the time)

I wondered if I could love two children equally

I shared how my two kids’ different temperaments affect my ‘going out and about with kids’ activities

I wrote about the reality of having two kids

I shared my tough moments with the kids, and how every child will go through such periods as part of their ‘growing up’ phase

I compared how things were when I had only one and after I had my second one

I wrote about why I strongly feel we parents have very limited time with our children and why I feel our time is NOW

…

If anyone were to ask whether I enjoy my motherhood days, my answer will still be the same as the one I gave before :

I love what I do and despite the challenges and tough situations a fulltime mother faces each day, I still feel it’s such an honour and privilege to be entrusted by God with these little ones. And I’ll strive to continually learn to be a better Mom each day, the kind of Mom God wants me to be.

Nancy :

Hehe … yet to imagine life with 3 kids Hmm, no plans for a 3rd kid for now, but if God’s really willing, then I guess He’ll give us one more despite our plans for having ‘just two’ ?

Ngebayangin ada baby lagi agak2 syerreemm for now ..hehe
