As a working mum, I tried to cook dinner at least 3 times a wk for my 4 year old, but sometimes end up getting tired over washing of dishes, yet still has to teach him weekly spelling and starting to see my child as a burden and the only time I look forward to is when he is asleep for me to clear work or just having me time. How do I overcome the feeling of seeing my child as a burden and to want to spend quality time with him? The routine of preparing his dinner, teaching him spelling weekly becomes such a routine I feel that’s it my “work” after office hours and by the time I can have me time is aft 10 or 11 as he sleeps late.

I could never do all that and keep myself sane. 😅 see if you can delegate or outsource some of these things, eg. get part time cleaning help, clearly define who does what at home, order tingkat meals or buy takeaway food. Also manage your expectations, are you expecting too much of yourself? sometimes we fall into the trap of doing things according to what society expect but ultimately we have to ask what is important to myself, what resources do I have, what can I manage for now? At 4yr old, how important is the spelling? if you are too tired and stressed, it will show in your tone of voice and he will not respond well, so the whole process of learning spelling becomes a pain for both of you. Is it worth it?
