My next busy time on weekdays will be at night. Sometimes, we eat our dinner after Maghrib prayers, and if my children are really very hungry, then we have our dinner before Maghrib. After clearing the dishes, our dinner table will convert to study table.
This is the time where I coach my children in their studies. So far they do not need tuition, as I am confident that I can coach them myself, sometimes with Hubby’s help. As all my three children are in primary school now, every child needs extra attention. I am aware that each of them have different capabilities in understanding certain subject. My first priority is that to let them complete their homeworks first. Then they can do their assessment books. At times, they brought back all the homework of their core subjects. With this, sometimes we finished way pass their bedtime.
Since young, my children has been trained to go to bed by latest 9.00 pm. Once they perform their Isyak prayer, they will go to bed. They seldom get to watch TV on weekdays. I like it this way. But like I said earlier, if each of them bring lots of homework, then they might sleep an hour late.
I really salute those teachers who can handle a classroom of 30 over students. I only handle 3 children, and sometime I complaint a lot. Being their mother and at the same being their teacher, is never an easy task. I admit that at times I need to raise my voice when coaching them. They tend to get very playful when they are together. But after everything is complete, I feel so relieved and have sense of satisfaction. I am grateful that I am here with my children whenever they need me. I have the chance to raise my children on my own and they grow right in front of me. I feel so bless that I have a very supportive husband as he understands that the best place for a wife is at home with the children. We may not have everything that we want, but what is bestowed to us is more than enough.
We just need to be thankful and grateful to Allah for each and every blessing that’s being granted to us.
