One friend swore against long distance travelling with her young kids – as she would say, it is not a holiday as all she would do is cater to their demands and needs.
This came to my mind today at a restaurant, when I had to leave the table 3 – 4 times to accompany my kids to the toilet. Imagine the calories burned and I have not even finished my food then. Now you know why having kids is like taking safe diet pills – you WILL lose weight!
Eating had to be done whenever I can, on top of serving and feeding them. Towards the end, I ate alone as my husband took them for a walk instead of trying to force them to sit at the table, doing nothing – except attract unwanted attention.
But that’s just life with young kids with their kind of characters.
There are kids who are content to sitting quietly and properly – but that’s not ours and we have learn to accept them as they are.
LOL.. same here. When eventually you wanted to eat, you are “full” with all those attention that you’ve given them.
One of motherhood “thrill”, ha
Safe diet pill, hmm.. it is interesting to see many mothers are complaining that they are getting heavier as they are having the sugar fix together with the children…..
However, i also believe exceptional like you and the many others in the world who consider raising kids are life long diet plan…
Mimi, maybe that’s because I don’t give sugar fix to the kids…that’s the papa’s bad habit, ha!
