Detox

I’ve not been able to lose the weight I had put on during pregnancy and always feel very depressed each time I look into the mirror. Although The Husband has not said anything much about my weight gain, I think it is time I do something serious about it. I’ve been saying many times that I want to lose weight but each time, I will succumb and fail. But I’m serious this time round. And I’m going to start with a detox plan. I bought 100% pure apple-raspberry juice earlier today as apparently, it helps in weight reduction. We’ll see. Good luck to me.

Favouritism

I was listening to the radio this morning when the DJs started talking about favouritism- parents who favour one child over another. I began to wonder if I would practise that too should I have more than one child and I strongly believe that I would…

My mother is one who definitely does. It is obvious not just to me but other people too that my mum favours my brother. I’m not very sure why but I think it’s because he is more intelligent and she likes intelligent children. I don’t grudge my brother for being the favoured one as I love him very much but what if I don’t? Wouldn’t it have resulted in very unhealthy sibling rivalry?

And why do parents show their favouritism? Is it because they can’t help it? CAN parents love their children equally? This is a question that I’ve been pondering. 

Should I?

Both my best friend and the wife of The Husband’s best friend are pregnant. I’m happy for them but it also makes me wonder if I should have another one. It’s been almost 3 years since I was last pregnant and the thought of being in pain makes me think twice. I really don’t know if I’m up to it. Till this day, I don’t think that I’ve been a good mother and if I have another one, can I handle the challenges? There are so many things I want to do with The Daughter but have yet to achieve them. I guess it’s something I have to seriously think about…
