Salute to all the mommies here... I have 3 kids, each 3 years apart, and indeed, I did feel the "impact of old age!", and in my case, also the running around for the third. A lot of things "went wrong" when we were having the third... a difficult pregnancy, a maid that left because she didn't want to deal with #3, followed by 4 maids that didn't work out, etc etc. But whenever I look at #3, I think everything is so worth it, and I cannot imagine a life without #3, it would be so empty. I am almost 40 but if I am younger, I would chiong for a #4!
To all mommies, no matter how hard it seems, just think of it as a blessing, a small price to pay for a great blessing. I plan to stop work to do some private "community work" such as helping other mommies to babysit (while they figure out the long term childcare plan), and also signing up to be a foster parent.
To all the mommies here, jia-you!
