Is Motherhood Worth it?
Mummy blogs…
I read a dear friend’s My Dream Mother’s Day, and was reminded again that I can celebrate Mothers’ Day too!
Looking back, my first memory of Mothers’ Day was tissue flowers, that my Sunday School teachers made us do.
Then came the classic carnations:
Then when we got older, we gave cards, bags, clothes, accessories, spa package, dinners, lunches even breakfasts to our mums.
Well, as a mummy of three pre-schoolers, this is what I want:
1. Updated Blackberry application for Places to bring your Children in Singapore – with opening hours, cost, food available categorised by location.
2. A wide repertoire of songs, fairy tales and games to play in the car. You can read about my inadequacy here and here.
3. Ability to shout in public but only my own kids can hear me.
4. Have a chance to let my own alarm clock wake me up, rather than one of the kids doing the job!
Yet even without the above, I’m not giving up motherhood!
Look at them, would you?

Hahaha! Oh… I heart the shouting in public with only your kids being able to hear. That WOULD be useful!

3. Ability to USE LOUDHAILER in public but only my own kids can hear me

Hi,
I am a father of a 19 months daughter.
I think the loudhailer will be very very useful too.. Great to have one if there is any… hahaa..
But for now, I would need item 4 instead of my daughter wakes us up for milk milk at 6am..

hehe …… Love your site! I especially liked this piece about motherhood (particularly the wish list — here, here!!!!) and felt compelled to write to tell you so! I wish all dads were as proud as you. =)
One thing that I’m obsessed with is my kids’ footprints and handprints. For Mother’s Day several years ago, I got a personalized t-shirt wtih my kids’ footprints on it. They got it from walkonmom.com (I think). Great ideas there for Mother’s or Father’s Day! Just thought I’d pass it along …
Keep up the great work, Dad! (You can never hear that enough, right? hehe)
