April is almost over..Iman will turn to six month soon. Thank you Allah!! It has been a busy month for me..I'm in research mode for this April..and working in rice or paddy is known to be demanding in terms of working hours and energy spent! Hahaha..really exhausting but if you asked me..between lab and field, to be honest, I prefer to be at the field. Don't ask me why..It's just something I enjoy to do despite the heavy workload. It's like a love-hate relationship I have between me and the field..Hahaha..
Today I wanna write about being a mama..not about what I went through but what I wanna be in the future..
Will be a tiger mama? For those who doesn't know what tiger mama is, it's the kind of mother that takes childhood seriously..Childhood is about work now, play later!! A tiger mama takes her kid's future seriously and won't let anything get in the way. Tiger mama is very strict with their children and won't take "I can't" for an answer.
OR will be a power mama? This kind of mother is into career success. She's the type of person who's very proud of her career and at the same time wishes she could just chill out with other mamas. Trying to find balance in both world.
OR a laid-back mama? This type of mama couldn't care less about success. She's all about the path of least resistance. If the children want biscuit, let them have the biscuit..Whatever..As long as everyone is happy
For me, I wanna find balance between all three. I wanna be a hands-on mama. A kind of person who does homework with their children, teach them ABC, read the Quran, read them storybooks. I wanna spend time doing their science project together. I wanna be a friend to my children. They can talk to me about life, school, fashion..whatever they like..
I don't think I'll make the cut to be a tiger mama but I am very discipline person myself. Therefore, I'm definitely not really a laid-back type of mama. To me, family comes first. Career is important but nothing beats family..
