Financially Independent

Its been almost 6 years to our marriage, but I still don’t understand why do I feel hesitant when it comes to get things done for myself.

I am the daughter of an ex army man, and we the children of army family are used to of adjusting in any given situation because it is in our blood. We see the changes in every 2-3 years because of transfer from one city to another. Everything gets changed, new house, new schools, new friends and many more. We have to start everything again from the beginning.

We are five sisters and whenever I look up to our parents and their hardwork for us, my heart just fills up with proud and deep respect for them. They raised us with no limitations, what ever we needed we had it. Ofcourse every parent has few concerns like is it really needed or can it be replaced with anything else…I think that concern has to be there to make sure your child will think twice for anything.

When the time came for me to be of some support to my family and start my career, I was very happy. Although it wasn’t a huge amount and I couldn’t help mom and dad with finances but I took care of mine atleast. So that I can share some of their responsibilities. Was working for 5 years when I got married.

They say marriage changes everything in a girl’s life. And it really does. I got married but continued my job, we were happy and now also I was able to get what I needed and wanted. There was no need for asking for some money to buy my stuff or to lend money to any of mh friend or relative.

But after having a child everything for me has changed. Its not because I don’t have money its just I am not habitual of asking for anything to someone else. May it be my loving and caring husband. I don’t think it the way like he is earning so its his money, nothing like that. But I feel bad for him, he works so hard and I know how much struggles does it take to get our salary in our hand. I don’t want his everyday struggle and his hardwork to go in vain by putting that hard earned money in some fancy things.

I understand many people will say that he has married you and its his responsibility to take care of your expenses. But tell me if your expenses give problems and loan to your husband will you be able to live happily. He would give you everything you want and then will spend all his time in doing the overtimes and repaying the loans. I feel it so unfair to husbands.

Now I am also planning to do few things. Just waiting for my daughter to grow up. So that I could be a support to my husband.

What do you think of it. Please share your opinions.

What’s on my desk

Its new beginning of my life, now a days I am trying to explore in my writing hobby.

My daily planner

Well I always want to follow a planner, but being mother of a toddler would not let you do so.

Many times I make my to do lists and stick it on refrigerator and somehow it just gets sticked for two more days. Being a mom of a 4 yr old kid it’s not an easy task, and that too without any house help. Yes you got it right, I do all my house chores by myself along with making my daughter attend her online classes.

I always try to start my day early in the morning, mostly at 6 am.  The very first thing I do after waking up is to make my bed and have a glass of lemon water. Not everyday but I  always try to follow this to the maximum. As per me the more we plan the more we are left with some pending work. So according to me we should start from few things and if you are left with some time you can add up some more.  My target is to finish  up the house chores  along with my daughters classes and homework. And if I  am left with some time that I use to do any of the work from my to do list.

Although there are few days when we can’t even finish our daily routine work but it’s  absolutely fine,  everyone needs a break and no one is perfect. More importantly  if you are a mother and your child is younger then it is really very hard to  reach your daily goals  without any help.
My daughter is almost four years now, to keep her busy I  always take her help in some work like she keeps her folded clothes back in cupboard, peels green peas, helps in watering the plants. This practice helps me make a very good bonding with my daughter and make her responsible  about her belongings. As per daily plan is concerned, it is  important to have a plan so that you will stay  focused and everything will fall on its place.

Staying Organized

I would love to be. Well,I always try to do my things in an organised manner but with a toddler its a bit tough. Although to give my best to it I wake up early in the morning so that I can finisb maximum of my work before my child wakes up. And give some exercise time tk self. They say early you wake up more time you have in your hand.

Travel Tips

There are millions of tips out there on how to fly with kids, what to bring on camping vacations, which suitcase to buy, where to go and what to see in just about every corner on Earth. What I want to share today is something a little different – something that we discovered by our own experiences.
