#Autumn Good Time with Babies#
I am a mother and a hotel management worker. My husband is a hairstylist. We are two people in the 996 service industry. I have been working with my baby for 10 years. Now my baby is 12 years old and in the 6th grade. She has a lively and cheerful personality and is good at communication.
My husband and I are both from Xinjiang and work in Suzhou. We buy a house in Suzhou and life is very stressful. , and because my parents are far away from each other and there are younger brothers and sisters at home, my parents cannot come to help. When I gave birth in 2009, there was no one to take care of me. I went back to Xinjiang to give birth to the child. After the birth, my mother took care of me during the confinement period, which lasted 4 and a half months. When my maternity leave was over, I had no choice but to leave the baby to my mother. I decided to wean off the baby and come back to work. It was really painful at the time. Every once in a while, I missed the baby and went back to see it. I still missed a lot of treasures in this process. It is our regret to have a growing up experience, and our parents also had a hard time. We decided to take the baby back when he was 2 and a half years old and could go to kindergarten.
After taking the baby back, we allowed him to adapt to the climate of Suzhou and Xinjiang for a month. Our lifestyles are all different. This month, I hold her in my arms every day, take the bus with me for more than an hour to and from get off work, leave early and come back late. I remember one time when my colleagues at work were very busy and I had something to do, I had to leave her in the dormitory. She cried and refused to stay. I held back my tears and left her in the dormitory. It’s still sad to think about it now, but luckily I met a good boss and a group of good colleagues who tolerated me taking my child to work. I would like to thank them.
One month passed quickly and the baby adapted quickly. We are close to home. After signing up for kindergarten and attending daycare, the baby definitely didn’t like going to work with me every day. She was very happy when she was sent to kindergarten. Her father went to pick her up after school, but she hugged the teacher and cried and refused to come back. At that time, her father was It was embarrassing. Many parents looked at him. Kindergarten ended early. At first, we could only take turns asking for leave to pick her up, and then go back to work after picking her up. This was okay occasionally, but definitely not for a long time. Later, I found a former colleague who happened to be there. When I work in a kindergarten, I asked her to take it home for me directly after get off work and have dinner at her house. I would pick her up after get off work. This way, someone would pick up the child and dinner would be settled. My colleagues and the whole family were super nice to the baby, just like themselves. Like our children, we are very grateful. In addition to the living expenses of 700 yuan every month, we also buy some things for them every now and then. Everyone is very good and happy. A year later, my colleague’s daughter got married and had a baby, and she couldn’t help anymore. .
What should I do if no one picks up? We quickly tried to find the right person. Later, a colleague introduced Aunt Gu, the aunt in the baby's kindergarten class. That was great. The baby also knew Aunt Gu, and the aunt also knew our baby. It was a seamless connection. Aunt Gu's family is a big family. , every day Aunt Gu’s family of three and two younger sisters go to grandma’s house for dinner. The house is very lively, and the baby is very happy. He treats it as his own home. Aunt Gu will also take care of the baby in the kindergarten. Although there is no home There were no old people to help, but we were lucky enough to meet two good aunties, and we are so grateful!
With the help of two good aunts, my baby has happily completed four and a half years of kindergarten life. When he goes to elementary school, he has to go back to our own school district, which is far away from the two aunts. There is nothing we can do. Then I took it on again, plus I needed help with homework, and then I found a professional after-school tutoring class, which paid 1,200 yuan a month to take care of dinner. In this way, my baby went to the fifth grade. In the fifth grade, I started to go home and do my homework by myself. I went back Home-cooked dinner.
When I was in school, it was basically no problem to have aunties and after-school tutoring classes, but during the winter, summer, and weekends, I had to find a way. I had every Sunday off, and her dad had Monday off and went to kindergarten. When I was a child, I would take it to work on Saturdays and leave it at my aunt's house if I had anything to do. I could only take it to work during the winter and summer vacations. I enrolled in some interest classes around my company. My baby started learning painting and dancing when he was 3 years old, and later enrolled in Hosting, violin, catwalk, etc., this will not affect my work, but also allow the children to learn something and play with the children. I go out with her on Sunday, and my father will pick her up on Monday, so I can go back later.
Usually my father gets off work late and can’t get up in the morning. I get up at a little after 6 o’clock every day to make breakfast and send my baby to school. I pick him up after get off work in the evening and come back to wash the dishes and tidy up. I’m very tired every day and want to sleep when I get home. But seeing the baby growing up healthily and happily is worth it. The baby knows how hard her parents are working. She started taking a bath and washing her underwear by herself at the age of 5. She always puts on clothes, brushes her teeth and washes her face when it’s too late in the morning. She also does all her homework in kindergarten. One time she told me about my mother, and my homework was always the ugliest. I asked why? Because other children’s parents would help with it, but I did it all by myself, and I said you are the best. She gradually got used to doing her own things, and would also help her mother with some housework. Seeing independence, The confident baby has grown into a big girl, and all the hard work is worth it.
Now that the baby is 12 years old, she walks to and from school and to training classes by herself. She has to take the subway or bus to study. Arrange it yourself, wash your own clothes, change your bed sheets and quilt covers, and be able to cook some simple meals by yourself. The children are becoming more and more worry-free, and we are becoming more and more relaxed.,
