Only two and a half full days of single parenting to go.
S is still away, he won't get home til midnight Saturday.
Surprisingly there has been hardly any difference in looking after the kids by my lonesome than to when S is actually around.
It has been easier than normal to get them to sleep at night, the part I was not looking forward to handling by myself.
I guess it just goes to show how little he gets to see them even when we're living under the same roof, and also how much I am depended on for everything anyway. Seriously, my 'load' so to speak doesn't feel like it's gotten any heavier. I guess by being a SAHM in Japan I've somehow got used to doing it all by myself, without even realising. Sad but true.
But I sure will be glad when he gets home!!!!!!
And so will the kids!
Glad to hear that things have been going smoothly while S is away. It's the harsh reality of Japanese living that even in a 2 parent family that it is usually the mother who bears the burden of raising the family on her own. You must be really strong and well organised. I hope that when he comes back he gets some time off to spend with you and the kids-you all deserve it.
