Leave letter
I wish my leave wld be granted!!!
A tired mom....waiting for a break!
Dear Hubby
This is tell u that I wld be on leave for the next 3 days. The last few days have been extremely taxing on me esp with 2 sick kids, job pressure, house hold chores, winding up, sleepless nites etc. To top it up, there has not been much help from u. All u can think of is your work & your office. U fail to realise that you have a (sick) family & that we also need time from u.
Hence I want u to handle everything for the next 3 days as I will not be available to do so. I wanna take a break. Once you do the job atleast I hope that you will start appreciating my thankless job!
Signed
Tired wife and mom
I really wish I cld indulge & pamper myself for a nice good break! However I know it is not practical esp cos of the kids.....they need me more now cos they are down with flu. I only pray to God to gimme the strength thru this rough patch!

Writing a letter was an easy one but granting that leave is tough on ur hubby's part.
As Syam & KK said, husbands have lots to do, they need to chat with friends, watch sports channel, comment other's blog, read their own blog's comments..hah, the list is neverending.:) They r so busy ! If they add, "need to give a break to my wife" to their 'to-do' list, that would be really appreciated !
A mom's duty never ends,it's 24/7 ..that too with sick kids, it's really tough. I have been there !
Be strong, don't lost hope, pamper yourself so that you can have strength to take care of ur sick kids.

God! I know what you are saying and I can totally sympathize. Make sure you take that break..even if means a quiet afternoon to yourself..you need it more than you think you do...and you will be a better mom and wife at the end of it. Hope the kids get well soon.

I think all husbands should get reminders like this every once in a while.I can imagine how tough it must be juggling things along with 2 sick kids.Once the kids are feeling better take yourself a break even if its for a little time.We all know how much we moms need them!Take care.Hope the little ones feel better soon.

Dont worry everything will be soon be alright..
Sharing Household work is one of many responsibility for a man, when he fail in that he cant be a good person, what ever he earns cant be worthy for the family, Sharing not only souls in life doesnt mean Better half or life partner..

HTBM,I empathize with you ! with too much work & too little support & never enough time or energy to spare...let alone indulge in the luxury of being selfish & hedonistic once in a while! wishing your kids a speedy recovery and hope things bounce back to being great!

Does your hubby read your blog otherwise print out the letter and stick it to the fridge door or on TV screen, he has to notice it before he can grant you leave !
On a serious note, I hope your kids get better soon and you get the much deserved break.
Hugzzzzz

oh poor you
pl take some time out to indulge your aching toes- just curl up with a book somewhere quiet?
if your hubby does not read this - pl read it out to him
if u r shy *( which I doubt) tell him someone else has written this to their hubby
