I wish I had a clone. To massage my baby, bathe;him well, play with him, dress him up, make his favourite food, make;a new dish;if he spits or refuses, clean his bum, clean all the mess only to clean it again after 2 hours, make him sleep, listen to his tantrums, wake up;the entire;night etc..
Basically I need;a clone.
How many of us have thought of it before?;Well, I had this thought yesterday. I told my husband and;he;immediately;asked,;“what will you do then?”;I said,;“I will only breastfeed him and sleep. Aha seems so good.”
It's true,;but even if a mother gets some;“me”;time she will only think about her baby. What new to have in his dinner, what new to buy for him, teach him another new word or just watch her baby sleep. Yes it's definitely true that a mother is;the;epitome of responsibilities. Be it of her baby,;her;husband,;her;home,;her;family;;everything comes on her shoulders. And it's but obvious to;ask for;;some help or care taker to ease the workload;to some extent.
Today I think,;even if I have;a;clone, I would still keep a look on how the massage is done, whether bathing is okay for him,;the;powder and cream applied is appropriate, the food taste is fine, cleaning is done;properly, leftovers are used, age appropriate toys are being introduced, he did not learn a negative word, how much milk he takes, what all food he is liking, what all refusing, etc. Now I;feel,;it is;better to have one person, that is me,;;who knows my baby well and besides being over-stressed or sleep-deprived still believes and does the best for my child. Now I don't want to replace myself with a clone;as;I am enough for my child. I am me and I am proud of it.
Do share your thoughts as well. Have you also felt the same way someday during your parenthood?
