Motherhood by MommyI am sure many stay-at-home mothers have experienced the irritating-father-syndrome, especially with those busy busy daddies. Early in the morning, after giving the baby her morning feed, I am relieved that the baby is still sleepy and could put her back to another 3 hours of sleep, i could use the precious time to do some cleaning and tidying and perhaps some reading. But daddy is going off to work, and won’t be able to see his precious darling until evening time. So he happily walked over to the cot, plant a huge kiss on her and tried to tickle her here and there, hoping that she will return him a goodbye smile. Smile? No. She will most probably send him off with loud wailing, and there goes my precious time.Sigh!
Evening time. After a good bath, and probably after a break at the "Idiot Box", the happy father decides that it is family time and wants to do some bonding with the kid. But to his disappointment, she is already asleep. Never mind, he thought, just have to wake her up. But i just spend an hour putting her to her sleep!!! And therefore, all my hard work is wasted. Have to pacify the fussy baby again, while the father happily wth his series and continues with whatever he wants to do!
This irritating-father-syndrome found its way to us some time ago, until TY spread it to me. The virus instantaneously mutated to become the irritated-mother-bug. Luckily, the irritated-mother-bug is very effective in curbing the irritating-father-virus and thus, peace has returned to the family.
So now, the man has to do the rest at night! AHa.. Good deal!
Phew~~~ Lucky Me !
