It's not as bad as I painted it to be.

I met an ex-schoolmate by chance at Giant Tampines. I have the tendency to complain and rattle on the unhappy side of being a stay-at-home mum when pp ask about life and feel miserable after that for not depicting the overall picture.

Well, actually, being a stay-at-home mum has its annoying moments but definitely, there are many other fulfilling moments too.... So next time if pp ask, what am I going to say...

X : So how's life?
Me : Great and not great but I am moderately happy, Alhamdulillah.
X : What do you mean?
Me : Great because I have more time with the kids and someone like me who can't bear leaving the kids, this arrangement is supposed to be perfect...But at times, you feel that you want extra cash to send yr child to a gd enrichment class - to expose them to a good curriculum and more socialising but I am not too worried about that... I am happy anyway... I am okay...

But in reality, I have the tendency to say something else... and so I shoudn't.
