Best gift to Beanie as parents: A strong and loving marriage
I was clearing some old files in my computer when I came across the folder that contained all my wedding pictures, feeling rather nostalgic, I opened it up and began to look through the photos.Then it hit me that ever since Beanie was born, Hub and I haven't spent any quality time together. It doesn't help that he is still based in HK and only flies back home every 2 to 3 weeks for the weekends, and whenever he is back, he will be busy running errands such as buying groceries or baby items for Beanie.
And now that Beanie is taking so much of my time, we don't even have time to call each other. On good days, we're lucky if we can Facetime for 10 mins.
To make matters worse, Hub has just been rotated to another department, which bankers work, on average 70-100 hours A WEEK, inclusive of weekends.
Me, being rather overwhelmed as a new mother, hasn't been the best of mood either. So, we ended up snapping at each most of the time IF we happen to Facetime. So much so that, I don't even feel like talking nowadays... ... ...
Looking at these wedding pictures again reminded myself that we, as a couple must put in effort to keep the romance and love alive in our marriage, but with the baby, work commitments and stress, housework ... etc, it is just so darn difficult.
Hopefully things will get better when Hub is back for good. Another 3-4 mths to go... ...

It's good that you're aware because from my observation, couples in Singapore centre their lives around the kids, they stop communicating as a couple, and they eventually become strangers.
It's sad because kids will one day grow up and lead their own lives, leaving the couple to grow old together. It is important to continue a loving relationship with your hubby!
Marriage is hard work. You have to keep working at it. Ting is right. Children will leave you some day. Don't be overwhelmed by your children. Hubby is the one you are going to spend the rest of you life with. Re focus!
