Ranting..

What does being a parent mean to you?

To me.. It simply means taking full reponsibility of our kids. Providing they with all they need (in terms of love, education and joy / fun) and teaching them the values and their reponsibilities, and the list is endless..

Lately.. A girlfriend who is selling some health products told me that i should start taking them to "maintain" myself.

Honestly, i don't spend lots on myself (maybe except for my collection of my not too expensive bags). Perhaps 10 suits and 3-5 pairs of heels for work, 5 tees and a couple of bottoms for going out on weekends.. That's about all i can think off.

Yesterday an idiot told me everything in my life revolves my family, my kids.. I should just be a housewife.. After my family, comes my friends.. Where does work comes in?

WTF!! I got so pissed!

As a wife, i have to be there for my husband..

As a mother, i have to be there for my kids when they need me.

As a parent, i have the responsibility to provide for them..

As a child to my parents, i have to provide for them should they retire..

If life is not about my family, then why should i be working to provide them with better education, better life.

Then again.. Who is that he to tell me what i am better off in being?

If my life isn't about my kids and my spouse, i shouldn't even be married!!

If my life isn't about my parents, then i am not even worthy being their child!!

If my life is about all he said, family and friends... Then, why on earth am i stuck in office in the month of DEC clearing work when my monkies at at home waiting for me to bring them out??

It's for work! PERIOD!

ARGH..

And here i am feeling guilty because i am at work and not with my kids... And then an idiot pop out and made such a tackless comment!
