Not a real SAHM (yet)

Me. Spoiled rotten since day one that I became a Mom.
Most of the time my MIL is around to cook for me and my family, be it at our old Senja place or now at her home. She cooks on most weekdays for us and Hubby cooks if needed on weekends.I can't cook much. My repertoire is limited. It's porridge, pasta, soba or udon. If I feel adventurous I buy the Prima Taste chicken rice premix and cook chicken rice. Somtimes I make salads, because no fumes, no frying, no cooking! Just chop up fresh ingredients! Sometimes I do butter rice. The only decent dish I can present to other people is braised pork belly (recipe taken from a local mom's blog). That's about it.

I have full respect for the real SAHMs who to the market by themselves (with or without baby/toddler/kid in tow), come home, chop up the meat, freeze them, think of recipes to use for the week, cook the dishes, feed the kids, wash up, etc. ALL BY THEMSELVES! So siong! I was telling the CG ladies last night that I hope I'll be ready to handle all these myself after I move out. It is a happy problem I guess. It's about time I grow in this area. Hope the skin on my fingers can tahan all the washing up. The CG ladies said I should get the kids more involved in the washing up. Maybe I should. But the anal/perfectionist/OCD part of me about hygiene and cleanlines has to relax a bit more first. I am anal enough to NOT continue with my previous part time cleaner's services after I realised she didn't wash her hands after pee-ing. She just flushed and opened the door! She was only in charge of ironing clothes but still?! Gross. Not even washed with water. I expect hand washing with soap and water after any toilet use u know. But I digress.

Will I survive all the cooking and laundry chores after we move out? Should I outsource the ironing? Especially after D drops his morning naps eventually? Perhaps. I'll give it my best shot and pray that I still remain a joyful Mom and err, pleasant wife when the rest of the family comes home from school. I hope they'll like my daily cooking. Haha. If not we can always order McDelivery... :P
