Two nights ago, Di and I decided to go for a date after the munchkins went to bed. Its been a long time since we were able to sneak out on our own. And Di's heavy workload nowadays means we see less of each other cos I'd be in bed by the time he reaches home on some days.
So we had ice cream & smoothies at Gelare while sharing our job frustrations (well, motherhood is a considerably tough job, you know!), discuss possible solutions to the issues we face and realign our visions for our family's future. I strongly believe communication is the key to any relationship. And I'm not talking about any normal conversation. That's just exchanging of words. I'm referring to spending quality time together, listening to each other and sharing. Its nearly impossible for us to do that while the munchkins are awake. Most parents would feel the same, I guess. Kids, toddlers in particular, simply have that magical power to totally transform parents into absolute strangers unless they're napping or in bed at night. Kekeke...
Well, I'm just glad we managed to "catch up" with one another this time. And I certainly look forward to more of such dates. :)
