Those close to me pasti tau lah.
I've had my whiny days.
I've had my "onya main sama otoy dulu, mami need to inhale exhale a super deep breath!"
I've had my kronos and kairos times.
Tonight is my Kairos.
You see, I was never a type yg "suka anak kecil"
In fact, sampe skrg pun I'm not.
I only love mine :)
Beneran deh, I'm anything BUT someone who adores kids.
I was the one who said "I hate kids" :)
When Onya came into our lives, everything change.
I became a mom who gets parenting tips from Google, Dr. Sears and Babycentre.com.
A mom who breaks all Grand Ma's rules and silly myths.
A mom who shabbily dress her baby without a "kaos dalem".
A mom who refuses to use 'gurita' on her baby (left alone naro koin di puser supaya ga bodong!).
A mom who threw out all Baby Talc Powder and Lotions.
A mom who never uses 'minyak telon' (selain ga bole sama dokter, turns out Onya alergi ama minyak telon).
A mom who cries happy tears when her baby smiled for the very first time.
A mom who proudly lift up the banner, campaigning that breast-milk is the best liquid in the world.
A mom who still breastfeeds her 22 months old.
A mom who sticks to homemade meals eventhough she was never a good cook.
So yeah.
I change. A whole lot.
My heart ache seeing parents who are too dependent on their nannies.
Look at all those Facebook and Twitter statuses during Lebaran. It's as if they can't wait for their nannies to come back and shed their "burden" of having their to take care of their own off springs.
With a kid in your life, packed with all the hustles and bustles, things can be an absolute topsy-turvy, but it sure does made a complete human being out of you.
Parenting has been such a pleasantly bumpy ride which I'm still riding with my husband and of course, our pretty little daughter, singing "the wheel on a bus goes round and round… round and round.. round and round… "
Tonight, I looked into her eyes and know for sure.
That everything is worth it.
