It’s been a while since I’ve written. A few things happened since the last update. 1) My promotion didn’t happen (not sure if it’s a blessing in disguise) ; 2) My relationship with my in-laws improved at least at the surface level.
December has been an uneventful month. I have tried taking a few days leave here and there to be with the kids at home but I realised that when I do that, I always end up screaming and disciplining them instead of enjoying what others termed “quality time”. Going back to office has become a relief for me. It has become a refuge for me from the chaos at home. Which is bad.
December will be a time to make resolutions for next year. One top priority in the list would be to seriously spend time with TC and YW each day to coach or teach them something new. I guess this is something that is lacking today and I really need to do something about it.
I agree wholeheartedly with you – somehow, work has become a refuge for me too. I think it is a ‘terrible’ thing to admit, but serves as a santuary from the other half of our lives – the home portion.
