What happens when you have three children? Do you still enjoy life? Well, I would say that life is totally different and many sacrifices have to be made. You can’t be going out with friends all the time when you have crying babies and demanding children to attend to. You can’t be wearing sexy dresses when you have to worry about your children throwing out on you and pulling your dress but you can still look presentable with a nice blouse and light makeup.
Now with three kids, I often go out in jeans without a handbag. You may want to ask me why and I can tell you that it is really not convenient to wear a dress and to carry a handbag while looking after three active children. You may have to chase them at times and bend up and down if you know what I mean.
So, do I enjoy my current life? I DO! With the children around, I miss many things but I gain a lot too! At least I spend time with my children, laugh with them, learn with them and grow with them. Off course when they are naughty, I get very angry but come to think of it, they are my angels, training my patience and I have to thank them in return. These moments are precious to me and I love every minute of it. I can still go shopping for handbags and sexy dresses when they grow up. It will never be too late.

I never have a chance to wear makeup,sexy dresses,high heels,and sometimes I even forgot to comb my hair when we go out.It's a bless to have children with us and I have no regret.Like you said maybe I have to wait till they are grown up then I can wear those stuffs.Ya!ya!now I also shop for handbags.:)
Wah,Jo-N u have 3 kids?Can I know who look after them while u are working?
i used to forget abt carrying those "fashionable+branded" handbags....those days!!
but now that my boys r more independent & grown up (a little), i can "show off" my handbags already.....u r right, it will never be late!!
Yup.. no handbag, no watch, no skirt... for now. :)
Jo-N, I so agree with what you said and the other comments as well, specially what slavemom said about no handbag, no skirt, no watch! Now I know I'm not only one :)
Sweetiepie,Jacss,Ginnie,Silvery,
I think we are in the same boat. However, I think we should not neglect ourselves either. Although we don't wear sexy dresses, no watches, no high heels, no handbags, we can still look good, right?
Eva,
I'm taking care of the payroll, accounts and other documents of my husband's business. So, my time is flexible. I bring my maid and my little girl along to my office. My two eldest boys would be in school til 6pm.
Anyway, next year would be different. I would have to spend more time with my kids since the kids are not going for daycare. I hope I can cope with work, children and blog next year.
wow .. u have 3 kids? didn't know that ... you dun blog about ur kids much huh.
i would never think of myself having 3 kids ... its a big NO-NO.

rgds.
thanks for the insight. hubby and i are thinking of adding to our brood. i am a bit anxious about it, not knowing how stressful it will be with three children.
Twin,
Haha. I started this blog because I wanna blog about my kids but then, after blogging, I change my direction. Now, it's more on parenting issues.
Gargies,
You are most welcome. You are my friend and friends should support one another.
Menchie,
Don't worry too much cos if you really have 3, you will know what to do. You HAVE TO know.
