my husband was sitting on the couch, tired after one day running errands for me. i said to him... no man had ever made me feel so wanted me the way my son had. hubs response was... ask him to change the tyres of your car.
since birth or rather when we settled down into a routine and no more baby blues for mummy, my son had always wanted his mummy by his side at night. maybe the lack of attention due to me being a career woman and his very demanding toddler sister, he felt comforted by having his mummy all night long. another reason for the inseparable mummy and son was breastfeeding. though breastfeeding had ended 6 months ago....yet, muhammad nashwan nasr still needs the feel of his mummy by his side. thus, i have changed my sleeping partner for the last 18 months... it was not the case with nadia nasira because she was trained to sleep in the cot when she stopped breastfeeding in her 6th month.
this boy would snuggle close to his mummy until he falls asleep. if he happened to wake up and find his mummy not by his side, he would sit up on the bed (parents' bed which was hijacked by the children) and cry until mummy dash to the room. when mummy is busy in the kitchen, her heart would always be upstairs wary of his cries. there were times he would have cried for sometime but mummy did not hear him. and oh man! his sister's sleep would have been disturbed and she would be up too. there... you have 2 toddlers crying for mummy (refusing the maid) and that would be the day when daddy was in either london, paris, new york, LA, frankfurt and the list of cities goes on.
i guess it is time to detach and to reclaim our bed. boys must be raised as boys.... i am not going to raise a mummy's boy here.
