Having Children is A Blessing

You know like when you go to a function of your hubby's friend and you don't know anyone there and you are not bothered to make friends, you can always entertain your kids, cater to their needs and you will not look out of place or a total loser in fact you are seen as a loving and such caring mother.

Or when you take your younger kids  for check-ups and again you are just too lazy to strike a conversation with other patients you can always play with your children, sing to them and you are not labeled as someone who has just lost her mind or a 'weirdo' in fact you are fun to look at and people will see you as being very creative and fun-loving mother to your children.

Or you can watch your kids playing for hours and you are not seen as someone who are lost in outer space and in fact people will see you of having such a loving gaze towards your kids when in actual fact you are thinking of something else, work, housework, etc.

Or the time when you are too lazy to go anywhere you can always come out with an excuse of having to take care of your kids well-being and it is always  a valid enough reason of you to just chill at home with your children.

Or at the time when you are already bored in a gathering or a function, and your husband is not ready to leave yet, you can always come up with a reason that the kids are restless, tired, etc and that is reason enough for your husband to get going.

Or when you don't really feel like talking to your husband, mom, mother-in-law, the kids can always be the messenger to get your message across.

And it's always a good time to have an ice-cream outing when you have kids.

Yeah these are some of the perks of having children when you are just content with yourself and not putting any effort to make friends. Yay to us mothers!

HAH! I KNEW IT :D

also one other thing is when parents actually want something for themselves but they coverline and say it's for their kids. i.e, if my mom's dying to check out a new theme park (disneyland or universal studios) she'll tell my dad one of us (kids) want to go! :P

my version of this post would probably the perks of having siblings. my siblings are my whole world, pretty much.

Hey Mel,
I so loooooooove your new look! Yes this is what happened when you became a mother, you take the back seat, it's what the children want and think that matters.

And yes you are truly blessed to have such wonderful siblings, it shows that your parents have done a pretty decent job in the upbringing of their children. Kudos to them!
