Joys & Pains of being a Mom

Over the past 2 weeks which seem to have flown past, I’ve gone through a whirlwind of being a full time housewife. Conclusion, no matter what I’m going to need a maid be it a stay in or a part time type. But most of what I’ve learnt is on being a mom, the kind of patience (of which I have none), and strength required.

Being a mom, needs courage that even though you’re not sure what he wants while he is wailing; you’re still there.
