Yee-pee

I'll be happy for the weekend to start but we'll be spending it with my in laws. Yep, not excited honestly. They are great persons, it's just that I like being at home, with my sheets and my bathroom... I don't like the attention nor the comments about how a good house keeper should behave because secretly she makes me feel bad for firmly believe when both partners are working, housekeeping becomes a shared task. I refuse to work at the office, and at home so he can read his paper confortably. We both contribute and that's it!

I guess it's a generation thing, she is the age of my grandmother and me grandmother even pealed of the fruits for my grandfather... I refuse to do that! And I won't do it with my kids if I ever have one... I could understand when one of the familly members is not working, then it should be his job, boy or girl.

Grandparents

Sorry for missing a few days.. It was my husband's b-day and I wanted to make something special. He is not used to celebrate things but since I had my breakdown I decided to celebrate every little thing worth celebrating... And 35 years are definitively worth celebrating!!

The best part was baking my grandmothers lemon cake... It actually brought back a lot of memories and made me wish I had known my grandparents better. I find grandparents have such a strong responsibility on keeping the family together. They always manage to make the brothers and sisters come together. Unfortunately since my grandparents passed away when I was a kid and I've seen the difference between how Christmas or any other important holidays were celebrated... 


Do you have a good relationship with your grandparents? My advice? Get to spend as much time as you can with them...
