sweet like honey!: One of Allah's best gifts to me

Assalamualaikum.. selalu kalau kahwin, ade yang akan bercerita fasal mertua masing-masing, kan. Ada yang memang ngam, close, rapat macam mak sendiri and ada jugak yang memang tak boleh ngam, ada je tak kena, kan?Ada yang menatnu hantu dan ada jugak mertua yang lebih sudu dari kuah..asyik nak kena dengar cakap dia je..macam-macam..tapi..

Alhamdulillah, I am blessed..dikurniakan keluarga mertua, adik beradik ipar yang sangat baik. Most of my acquaintances know that my kids are being taken care by my mother in law or I call her 'mak'. Not at her house, but at my house. Yes, I don't have to wake up that early every morning to send my kids to her house (30 minutes duration), my MIL and my FIL (ayah) come to our house every weekdays or working days. In fact, if my sister in law or brother in law is on study leave, they will also stay at our house. My parents in law will come to our house on Mondays' morning and go back to their house on Friday's night. Every week. Despite the fact that my FIL is working on his 'kebun sayur' at Sijangkang area (which is closer from our house compared to their house), I think they are really the best in-laws that one could ask for.

I used to send Fahri to mak's house when we only have Fahri in our life. Then, when Naeem arrived into this world, it becomes more challenging for me to commute from my house to mak's house which takes more than 30 minutes every morning. Sometimes, both kids would just not behave in their car seat. And it is dangerous because at times, you could not focus on your driving. U olls mommies or daddies out there mesti tau apa yang i rasa ni kan..especially yg ada more than one toddlers inside the car. Moreover, when I worked with msu, I used to have meeting which sometimes ended at 8-9 pm! And as usual, my engineer husband is hardly to tell his time-off at his working place. So, when Naeem was around 2 to 5 months, our routine was- I will send my kids to mak's house every morning, then I return home and wait for husband to come home. This is because I don't feel safe to fetch my kids alone. It is easier on the morning because I slowly take my kids to my car when they were still sleeping and usually they will not wake up till I reach mak's house. Another problem is that- fahri, when we moved him from his car seat to the house (when I reach emak's house), then when he open his eyes, he will cry and throwing tantrum. It happened almost every day. Also, talking about waiting my hubby to get back from work, let say he reached our house at 8 pm..Then, we head to mak's house and the journey will take around 30 minutes or more..let say we reach mak's house around 9 pm..then we will have our dinner at mak's house..then usually my hubby will get very tired and he will sleep around 30 minutes.. Most of the time, we return home around 11 pm! Then get ready to sleep and hoping for a better day! It is tiring. So, this is one of many reasons why my MIL and FIL have decided to stay at our house during weekdays.. They are so kind.

My MIL is a loving person. She loves kids so much. I can feel and it is obvious. She will do anything as long as her grand-kids are well taken care of. You actually can tell the way she looks after a kid. She will patiently chase my kids if they refuse to eat.. she will do anything to make sure the kids eat!Only those who have high passion with kids could do that..I don't know what will happen to Fahri if I let other people take care of him. But now Alhamdulillah, Fahri lagi kuat makan dari Naeem!

Not only having a good parent in law, I also feel so blessed to have wonderful and kind heart siblings-in law. All of them. Kalau orang ada masalah ipar duai yang jenis mulut or hati busuk, Alhamdulillah I never face this kind of issue. Even though we seldomly say it, but deep inside our heart, we love each other. I am impressed actually with my husband's family. All kids grown up being a good person inside out. Apa rahsia emak ye. hmm... Alhamdulillah sangat sebab mereka sebaik ibu, bapa, abang and adik kandung saya.
