Hubby has been quite caught up with work lately, working long hours not only during weekdays but weekends too, and I think they kids miss their daddy very much.
On nights that hubby comes back late, the kids would ask me where’s daddy, why daddy hasn’t come home or whether daddy is coming home at all.
Last night hubby came back late again.
JS: “Why daddy hasn’ t come back? The sun has gone down already”
ME: “Daddy busy with work, will come back later”
JS:” Tomorrow I want to wake up early and say goodbye to daddy and kiss daddy before daddy go work”
Yes, hubby left home early each morning before we get up, I used to get up early occasionally to make him breakfast, but lately I just couldn’t get up that early though I wanted to badly. My body just won’t obey my mind. Which I felt quite guilty about.
This morning, very early, I think it’s only 6.45a.m
JS woke up and asked me ” mummy, today need to go school or not?”
Me : ” No need, holiday today”
JS: “but where is daddy?”
Me: “Gone to work”
JS: “But why daddy has to go to work, I’m not going to school”
Me: “Because daddy got no holiday today”
I think at that time hubby was just about to leave home. JS already sobbing, told me she wants to go say goodbye and kiss daddy. She ran to the living room and called out to daddy, I can hear that her tone is quite sad, as though she’s going to cry.
In the afternoon, WH playing with toy phone while JS on the pc in the room. I heard WH calling daddy over the phone
WH” Daddy, you go office or not” “Daddy, daddy”
Then he said to me ” Daddy no talk to me”
It breaks my heart when he says that. I hope hubby gets to read this.
