3-Line Diary #ParentingStruggles 22

My daughter went on a trip, leaving her child behind.

How bold of her lol

She said that since her husband P-chan went on a trip leaving her and the baby behind the month before last,
she was going to do the same.

I was too worried to ever do something like that lol

Young people today are so decisive.

But I think I should have done that much myself.

To raise a child as equally as possible,
both parents need a break.

I always felt a sense of unfairness somehow,
and I was trapped by the stereotype that
because I was a mother, I had to be a certain way lol

That said,

leaving it all to P-chan alone
is still worrying lol

I rushed over in the evening lol

Not just to help with the bath,
but as a kind grandma, I also fed the baby dinner,
and let P-chan, who is currently on a diet,
go to the pool.
Since he had been alone with M-tan since last night,
I let him have a little freedom.
He readily agreed to my daughter's trip, so
I guess this is the least I can do to thank him lol

During that time, I watched the news with M-tan,
who loves Sora-jiro,
we waved at Kihara-san and Sora-jiro,
and kept house for about an hour.

We're already such good friends now♡
I can't help but find her so adorable lol

When P-chan got back, I helped him
give her a bath.

After a bath where she was sleepy and fussy,
she went straight to sleep.

M-tan finished the day safely.
Hang in there with Dad for one more day until Mom gets back~

Grandma will come to help again tomorrow♡
