A well-meaning and clueless guy friend asked me: "So, what do you do when your hubby is at work?"
I was at loss for words. I seriously contemplated on how to answer his question. But truth be told, I was a little annoyed and offended.
I would have liked to answer "nothing" so I don't have to explain further. But it's not true! Keeping a house in order is a big work.
If I answered, "a lot", I would have to elaborate every household chores and I would sound defensive.
If I answered, "aside from nurturing and taking care of my baby?", I would sound very arrogant.
So I just answered flippantly "I blog".
Honestly, I'm tired of people asking me what I do to pass my time. And it is not just about that. There's always a subtle insinuation that I really do nothing. As if taking care of the baby isn't a job in itself.

hah! same here... Well, there's a lot to mention to make it short, I blog to keep my sanity! lol, pano nalang if walang blogging?????
I find the question quite irritating and offensive. Imbestigador ba siya? Siya yata ang bum. Hehe. (Sorry sabe ko sa inyo hormones lang ito) Oh well. I am so happy for you that you take care of your baby and that is something you can always be proud of ;)
