A few mommy bloggers blogged about Appreciating what you have and not wanting what others have as you don’t know what battle their are fighting. This I must admit is something I used to struggle with and just reading the words made me realise how as much as I thought I had I was over wanting things, I still had a lot to deal with. But lets leave that for another post.
In the beginning I did it all alone, clinic visits, dr’s visits, waking up to feed, staying up all night with a sick baby, all alone. Now I understand and appreciate what single mothers go through.
I used to envy married mommies as they had partners to rub their feet after a long day, they had people who appreciated their cooking, someone to laugh and talk with and after putting the kids to sleep, someone to wash their backs when they couldn’t reach, someone to compliment them on their beautiful dresses. Its amazing how all I used to see and hear of was married couples living their lives and enjoying each other.I used to envy married moms A LOT and I would always ask myself what I did wrong to go through this ‘alone’? Kamva’s dad and I were together but in the beginning he lived in different town and then my parents had issues with him.
Things Have Changed:
Kamva’s dad and I recently started living together and by recently I mean recently
As much we are still trying to get the swing of things, I am enjoying the little piece of freedom I have. Before when we were alone I used to wake up and get ready for work and then get Kamva up and ready for school and most of the time it was a rush just to get out the house on time. Now I leave the both of them at home and Tumelo gets her ready and takes her to school.
Nothing makes me happier to hear Kamva call him ‘tata’ and I love watching them play as rough as it may besometimes I really enjoy it. I love how they walk to the shops together during the weekends and how Kamva will ask only him to make her a bottle
I love how he dresses her in the most prettiest of dresses for school and see nothing wrong with that
I love how he will change the most runniest of poo nappies and not even pull a face.
I love the relationship they have and not sure if it makes sense but I love how they love each other
<Not the best of pictures>
P.S I may not be married yet but we slowly but surely getting there.
Lots of love
