Part of living together would be the art of compromising...
That said, I'm sure all newly weds...or even new housemates and such would understand this statement. Compromise is not often easy..especially when it comes to those who are dominant or used to living by themselves...rules or courtesy would not come easy...
I am lucky..in that lucky to marry my love who doesn't mind me taking control of the household chores...shall I even be brave to say grateful? Hehehe...
I love to organise things and my home surroundings as per my preference...and so comes the laundry requirements..organisation of our clothes and other worldly materials and of course groceries...and evolving from that...my cooking stuff and schedules to cook... The cooking part is a major concern to me currently since as a working mum who is doing the cooking too...I need to plan well my time because I refuse to sacrifice my playing time with jellybean..
The solution? I cook immediately when I come home from work while I try to entertain jellybean in between... Finish off by 10 is a must because that's her bedtime...wake up latest by 6.15 so that i can start on her breakie at 6.45 latest...
So far I havr been able to follow this and yes there are days that I get lazy and divert..such as the occasional take out on Saturday :p
But what I have come to unveil lately from this sudden need to be a domestic 'perfection' is that while we are busy with our family needs not everyone around you can accept this. This is unexpected especially when it comes to having this 'disagreement' in your own family...
Well...what else can I say...we cannot please everyone and as a wife and mother to a perfect cupcake my priorities are set in stone. I am always ready to compromise..but not when the demands are done by stabbing my back and rediculing what is closest to my heart...
And so... I am glad that our house will be done soon..and happy that God has shown me what is real and what might be fake...for now... :)
