I am a Cavitenã living here in Geneva, Switzerland. It has been almost two years since I have left the Philippines and my life has gotten into a new level now--I am married and have a 7 month old baby girl.
This new experience called family life is so exciting and at the same time somewhat overwhelming. Being a first time Nanay, I have listened to a lot of advice from well meaning family and friends. I have scoured the flea market and the thrift shops for books on babies and parenting and I am still learning.
I have found out that having someone from a different cultural background takes a lot of understanding, communication and acceptance on each other's part. This is my own observation and I am not talking about other people's experience. This is my story...
It's kinda hard to get up early again after 2 weeks of staying up late.I've started taking the girls early to bed and of course, they're awake at around 6h30. My husband on the other hand has started working and I think he misses his late mornings. Now it's back to normal sched again. Now, I'm lazily doing my chores and still hoping that my mug of coffee will take effect soon. How do you get back to normal routine after weeks of vacation?
