They say a mother can do it all. That's true, but we don't have to do everything all the time.
I've been a stay-at-home mom for almost two years now, and though this is what I wanted, it gets tiring especially when you don't have a yaya or a helper at home. There are days that I don't want to do anything but lie in bed, eat junk food, and not think of anything at all.
But I can't do it. The house is messy. The bathroom is slippery. The dishes are waiting in the sink... the list goes on. All these on top of my clingy toddler who never fails to follow me wherever I go.What other parents are reading
One night, my husband was still at work, and I just finished feeding my daughter when I smelled something weird coming from the kitchen. When I went to check it, I saw dirty and funky water in the sink — the grease trap leaked!
Everything in the cabinet under the sink was wet with dirty water. I had to deal with the sebo, amoy, everything! I didn't even have gloves, so I had to use a plastic bag to remove all sebo from the grease trap.
I cried after cleaning because of exhaustion. From then on, I promised myself that I would have it regularly cleaned by professionals.
We want to help all exhausted moms out there and so we made a directory of trusted professional services in the metro for every possible household problem you might encounter. They'll make your life easier!
