the 1 + 1 = 3! equation
When does 1 + 1 = 3?
1 toddler boy + 1 infant girl = TRIPLE headaches to the 3 adults taking care of this 2 precious...
Master C is 23 months old and this is the age where he starts to be UNREASONABLE, i.e. testing the limit. And being a boy, he is very mischievous plus he doesn't like to play/have fun alone.
Miss C is 4 months old and at this age, all she can do if she needs to communicate to us is to CRY OUT LOUD. Being a girl, she is extremely fussy and hence little bit of noises will awake her and she will sound her displeasure by CRYING OUT LOUD.
Their age are close and it is carefully planned by Mrs. C. As I wish my children to not have too big an age gap so they can have a common childhood. Grow up together, play the same games together, go to the same school together, enter adulthood together.
But hor, we did not anticipate the extreme chaotic lifestyle of having 2 young and small children. Both needed round the clock attention. Luckily we started Master C child care programme, so in the daytime, Master C is being taken care of by the child care teachers while MIL take cares of Miss C at home. But during weekends, 3 adults - Me, Mrs. C & MIL must rotate to take care of Master C & Miss C cos 2 person must be with them all the time so 1 will take turn to eat, drink, shit, pee, bathe. Household chores, the basic ones like dumping the clothes into the washing machine and press buttons, ironing office wears, sweeping floor (only when it becomes unbearable), washing eating utensils, washing of milk bottles, are quickly done when both of them are napping or sleeping.
Now we have the maid to share the duties and hopefully this maid (3rd maid in 5 months time) is better than the previous 2. We seriously need someone to clean up the house while we busy ourselves attending to Master C and Miss C...
