FIRST DAY IN DAYCARE -APRIL 8

First Daycare:Bright horizons,White house station,NJ
Start date :April 6th

My mom was a working woman.I was 3.5 yrs old when my baby brother was born.While at work,She left me and my brother with our grandmother.My mom told me that Whenever my baby brother cried,i used to join him saying 'Can someone please feed my brother? ; he is crying for Milk'.I personally have experienced how kids feel when parents are not there to answer their cues.My mom was helpless.She had to work to settle our lives and I am here on the same boat.

So,I was all set to send my son to daycare.I wasn't sure if Siddhu will adjust to new environment.We chose the best day care.
No matter what,it is hard for moms to let their children in others hands.

New place and new faces.I took a day off to have a check on Siddhu.He is just a baby and it would take a while for him to adjust to the new environment.He cried for a while.I was low the entire day .More than my son,i was the one to shatter.Moms speak out;dads never.I am sure his dad also felt the same way i did.

Month 3 to Month 8

80 days passed...

Time for my mom to go back home.Dad was already missing mom to the core...

My mother-in-law was here after a week.Ours was a love marriage.I need not mention how good MIL-DIL relation would be in such a circumstance.I had a real tough time.I tried keeping my mouth shut for 6 months.But she did not let me. Every time she bit me,i bit her back.She was always on top of my head.She hated me.For such a hatred,i could not pay her back with my love.
I missed my mom terribly.

Siddhu was growing fast.He started recognizing our faces.With both my sweethearts around,i felt relaxed even on stormy days.

Month 1

Stitches were healing but i could still sense the pain while moving around.I literally did nothing except for taking care of my son.My mom took care of me like i was just born.Mom's presence lightened my pain and fear.
Every single day was awesome with Siddhu.He started looking more like a baby.His smile,his cry ,his actions...He created a new me with full of selflessness.
Top of the world will not be synonymous to what i felt underneath my heart.Warm hug from a caring husband and tender touch from a sweet baby.Life is so complete than ever before...
