There was this Aussie news whereby a pair of 18 months old twins starved to death in their cots. Mother was 30 years old and dad 28. The couple has 3 older kids, 5, 4, and 3 yrs old and they were fine. The woman has another girl 11 yrs old and she was the one to realize the twins were dead. Apparently the twins never leave their bed room and the neighbours did not even realized there were 2 babies in the house. The couple has relationship problems and sleep in separate bedrooms. I think the mother is the one having mental illness - either depression or what. one of the twin only weigh 4 kg when found. Guess they really had a painful death.
Sometimes i am also scared that I might lose control of my life. The fact that depression can hit anyone at any point of their lives. Actually i feel that when I was working and taking care of the family I have no control over many things and that made me very depressed.Now staying at home I still feel unhappy but you won't feel out of sorts.
Yesterday I cleaned up the house properly after watching the "Wife Swap" programme on TV. One of them is a control freak and wants things done in the most perfect way and the other one is a total rubbish collector. She even has goats and dogs in her house and she removed all the walls so that her goats and go wonder about in the house. Husband and adult daughter sleeps with goats. The house was really horrible. Daughter behavig like mum and she just ordered her dad around like a personal maid. Even washing all her clothes. The other family dad never laid a finger on housework and have rules that nobody can talk to him after 9pm as everyone gets emotional after that time. Very orderly as the family had 5 kids. If mother saw their drawers in a mess, she tipped out everything and the poor kids had to fold the clothes neaty. House likde out of magazine and very orderly. No pets and no mess. Sometimes watching show can motivate me to have a better life for myself. Interesting show but it prompted me to do a thorough springcleaning. However, when kids were back the house was messy again. That's the frustration. How to stay motivated when the others won't cooperate.
Yesterday I watched the show' Farmer wants a wife". Seems like looks is still the thing for men. When they set their eyes on a particular lady the others just seem to fade in comparison. Well! That was the first episode and more to come next week.
WE had Hokkien noodles yesterday. I decided to fry the noodles and turned out quite nice. Not moist enough as we waited a while and all the juices had been absorded by the noodles.
Will try new receipes when free to surprise the kids. I get really sick of rice and vegetables too.
