Whilst we’re on the subject of stress, I can understand why my husband is stressed these days because he not only works really hard as an employee, father and husband FULL TIME, he hardly ever gets any time to himself to do the things he likes doing. By himself. It is his choice though as I encourage him to chill and go out to do whatever the hell he wants, but he’d much rather be with us. Tee and I are very lucky.
The Hubs is currently under pressure because we now have to pay a wage for our new helper which means I get a pay cut. And then, we have to support her food, toiletries and utilities. We have no idea how much our expenses will be affected by this. Then impending hospital bills are about to arrive with the new baby. Who knows what complications may arise? Already this whole pregnancy has cost quite a bit what with regular bills to the Obgyn, the Dietician, the Endocrinologist, the endless tests at the hospital, the weekly expenditure on my finger pricking exercise for diabetic control…….then there’s Tee’s bills with all her school fees and classes, our eat-out bills that need to be severely slashed now that we have a helper and should really be eating in! What about the property, the cars, the insurances, the day to day bills? The poor Hubs…..no wonder he is stressed. Having said this, my Tee also has similar poor stress management skills, letting loose cannons whenever she gets frustrated with something. So huffy and puffy, the members of my family.
But you know what? My take on it is that one should learn stress management because life is precious and life is short. It is not worth anything in the world to have stress related illnesses and I truly believe that most illnesses are a result of long term stress. It is just not worth it. What can be so wrong in the world or with life that one would sacrifice his health for it? Just chill!!!
Hence, I have been the psychologist of the home. I am constantly talking to my two loved ones giving them ideas on how to manage their thoughts so they calm down and not get all huffy and puffy. It is completely unnecessary to rage on about the trivialities in life because honestly, why waste the energy? And of course, the moment I myself get all huffy and puffy, they are the first to ATTACK me!!! *grins*
I still maintain that I am the calmest person in our household and really wonder who the new baby will take after in terms of temperament. God save me if I have to deal with THREE hot-headed family members everyday!
