My Mummy is The BEST
Missed swimming last Sunday as Hubby Goh had to work so I made my way down to the gym after work to make up for the lack of exercise.
Hmm..it's not surprising, I was the only preggie around. All eyes were fixed on me as I made my way to the treadmill, even the instructors there gave me funny stares, but hey, what's wrong, preggers also need to exercise what! Let see how long I can persevere in the gym with the growing tummy. It's getting a little challenging to lug the heavy gym bag to Vivo alone twice a week, probaby should go rent a locker for a month or two so as to lessen the bag weight.
Anyway, after gym, we went to my mum's place to pick up yummy dinner back home so that we are in time for the 10pm show on Channel U (yes, I'm addicted!). Mum cooked my favourite fried beehoon, lor-chicken, and peanut soup. It was so so yummilicious that believe it or not, I nearly teared. It could be the hormones lah, but I was really touched that mummy dearest made that effort to ring me in the office, asked what I like to eat for dinner, packed them in plastic containers, heated them again when we were ready to pick them up back home. Though it was only a small gesture from mummy, but I really felt the warm when I bring each spoon full of food into my mouth. I feel blessed to have a mummy like her and I would hope that I can be her daughter again come my next life.
Perhaps I'm too pampered by my own mummy, so I wasn't too used to the bor-chap attitude from the MIL. Am nearly 6 months preggie now, one time birdnest and 3 times fresh fish from her, you think is enough to show her concern for me or the baby? I dunno. It juz pissed me initially that she only talks but no action all the time. I remembered having severe crave for her home made tau suan when I was 3 months preggie, Hubby Goh requested her to cook but she told him to bring me to foodcourt and eat! I was dumb-folded! And I remembered Hubby Goh telling her to cook more birdnest for me, she empty-promised that she will cook the next day, but end up she brewed tonics for herself and didn't made anything for me. This time, I gave up! Well afterall she's not my mummy so I can't expect her to shower me the same amount of love my mum does.
And I think I was being blunt, but it is ME. During last night's dinner, I told hubby straight on the face that I is not happy with his parents cos' they are acting so unconcerned throughout my pregnancy. It's not that I lust for their expensive tonics or what, but as parents themselves, they should understand the needs of a pregnant woman and yah, by the way, I'm carrying their first grandson lor. Whatever it is, when baby Goh is born, I'm sure that I will not allow them to get any closer to him other than my own family. Hmpf!
Like the saying goes,
"Why give priority to others when you're only part of their options?"
So true.
