Have you ever had one of those days? One of those nights?
Dear Lord, those nights.
You’ve been up all night with a teething and crying baby. Cleaning vomit from the carpet and sheets for the umpteenth time. Soothing a feverish child until the light of dawn.
Before you know it, it’s morning. And you’re pretty certain your head never even hit the pillow.
It might have, but you just have no recollection of it at all.
After my daughter was born, my mother stayed with me for an entire two months. Two freaking months and it was ah-mazing.
I come from a culture where women traditionally went to their parents’ home to give birth and recuperate but because it wasn't feasible for me to go back home, my mom came to stay with me. It is absolutely and without a doubt, the best thing possible after having a baby.
