Home and Family

Mr. Mum

I take my hat off to every stay-at-home mother out there. You girls are legends!

Paisley Jade (that’s my wife) has been in bed with a very bad flu for the last few days, so I’ve taken a few sick days to cover for her. We have four kids, who need fequent feeding, washing, and cleaning up after… especially our youngest, so it’s pretty much a full time job making sure she doesn’t get herself killed (she’s an 18-month old adrenaline junkie). So I’ve been cooking, cleaning, bathing, feeding, nappy-changing, clothes-folding, book-reading, dish-washing, medicine-giving, chauffeur-driving, play-fighting, discipline-giving, room-tidying, grocery-shopping, and being a nurse for DW.

I will say it again, stay-at-home mums are legends! Definately the most under-appreciated job in the world.

DW… I appreciate you so much… Get well soon! The small amount of sanity I have left is quickly depleating.
