The need to justify

Assalamualaikum,

Lately, selalu baca pasal being a stay at home mom. And banyak meet up with my desperate housewives geng :)

So banyak bercerita and bertukar2 experience.

One thing we are sure, none of us regret langsung being a housewife. Alhamdulillah.

Also another thing in common, we also agree that being a housewife is actually lagi penat than working. Tapi tu bukan komplen ye, itu sekadar menyatakan pendapat.

We rarely have enough time for ourselves.

Example

I am pretty sure every mommy pernah menghadapi situasi mcm ni :p

Tapi, aku terbaca kat this one article, kalau kita ikhlas  buat kerja, jangan mempersoalkan 'hak' kita. Example 'me time', nafkah dari suami, etc. Insya Allah, kalau kita ikhlas, ada ganjaran dari Nya.

Cuma satu benda yang aku tak pernah openly discuss with others until recently, is that we housewives (yang dulunya bekerja or belajar tinggi) tend to justify ourselves bila orang tanya kerja apa.

Contoh

"Kerja apa?"

"Saya tak kerja, duduk rumah jaga anak.....

.....errrr...baru je la.. dulu keje.. lama.. kat bank.. bla bla bla"

Eh ada org tanya ke kau keje ke tak dulu???

Tetiba nak justify tu apehal plak kan.. mcm kan tak puas hati bila org tak tau yang kita dulu belajor tinggi, keje hebat...

Puih!

Tapi tu dulu lah.

Skang ni, I can calmly answer bila org tanya keje apa?

"Tak keje.. fulltime housewife"

Sambil senyum..

Tapi ekceli dlm hati menggebu2 nak sebut

"I buat online bisnes on health and beauty products, this is my card!"

Tapi kad aku tak de lagik!

Ish.
