I am currently raising a 27-month-old son...
My first child... There is no one here, no help, and my husband works from 7 am to midnight, so
'Exclusive' childcare...^^ I'm in charge.
What I decided when I came here was,
Since I will be returning to work soon after giving birth and my husband is with me in Indonesia,
I resolved to do childcare alone as much as possible.
(When my son was 22 months old, people around me said things like "That's why he doesn't see his mother" and gaslighted me in every way.)
But.... It's really hard...^^
Since he is a boy, I have to let him expend his energy. All I can do with him is
Take a walk in the mall and buy him toy cars, go to a kids' cafe, etc.
There are toy stores on every floor, so he lies down every time he sees a store,
I barely buy anything, and I'm having a hard time. If I even try to go into a coffee shop for a cup of coffee, he asks "Why did we come to the coffee shop?"
He lies down and cries and throws things. His personality is...
I thought my son was really innocent and pure.
Every time I go into a store in the mall, I feel like people are looking at me like "He's here again..." ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
I often come here to ask for good places to take my child, but
I don't even have the courage to go outside.
Is this normal at this age? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
I was going to hire a nanny in January because it was so hard in December, but I decided to send him to daycare from February,
So I have to endure until January... ㅋㅋㅋ
Every day is a struggle. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
