37w: To a man unlike many men

Today is yet another special day, Bob. You know why? Because it's your father's birthday. Your very own Bapak is turning 28!

Tsk, I still can't believe he's about to become a Bapak anytime now--nor can I believe me, a mother. But let me tell you, he does have the qualities to become one hell of a good dad, Bob. At least he's shown me what a good husband he can be during this pregnancy.

Later as you grow up, you'll learn that not many men are willing to go to the kitchen and wash the dishes without being asked to. Or help their wives with the laundry. Or mop the floor every weekend and give the wife a chance to catch a break from the weekday-routine. Or clean the bathroom just because the wife is too afraid of funny bathroom creatures such as tiny worm coming out of the drain.

Not many men are also willing to help their wives cook. Especially when the wife is sometimes too exhausted carrying the big belly, all she can do is sit down and tell the husband what to chop and what to stir.

And what about changing the sheets? It's very tricky to do it alone, and not many men want to bother to help. 

But baby, your Bapak is all that, despite his obliviousness and totally non-romantic exterior. When you grow up, you better start looking for men like him because I think it'll be a little hard to find.

In the meantime, let's give him a credit for being such a marvelous 28-year-old man and sing Happy Birthday to your father, my dearest husband. May you find more happiness in life because you deserve it more than anything.

 



PS: Semoga household helpnya berlanjut dengan nyuci popok, mandiin anak, dll, dll, dll yaaa.
