Never Easy for both of us

Being a full-time housewife and yet having to commit myself to work too, commuting between Bandung and Jakarta, leaving husband and in-laws for more than a week has never been easy for me nor my husband. We know it's just a temporary parting, but each time, it was not easy. I have to fight with my own inner guilty feelings.

A friend of mine has been telling me that i should find balance..well actually my barometer should go heavier on my husband and family, otherwise what is the purpose of getting married. I totally agree with her.

Both sides have to make sacrifices, I don't mind if I have to be the one to make the first step.

But, well the husband make the first move. He decided to move to Jakarta so that I can still work and yet be a full time wife n mom. And I know it is not an easy decision for him. And my in-laws are so supportive too of the decision we have made.

And so I hope I will learn to find a good balance for my family and work too. Of course, (well I don't make any promise as this is not an obligation) I will prioritize and give up anything as long as I can have enough time for my husband and children :)

So in May, husband and I will have to move ourselves again. It is tiring to keep on moving, but currently we are both working hard trying to figure out what is best for both of us and the children in the future. And if we are going to stay in Jakarta permanently, I told my mother-in-law that she has nothing to worry about because i enjoy my time in Bandung all these while with her and father -in-law and Boci (alvin's sister), and will always travel to Bandung to visit her.

So in conclusion : we will still be always commuting between Bandung and Jakarta. Has never been easy, but because we are slowly getting used to it and we have the people we loved so much at both cities, that at least make my traveling and packing easier and enjoyable :)
