The scale between “take it for granted’ and “appreciation” 理所當然與珍惜的天平

 
illustrated by Josephine Wall
These days, I seems to have  this debat with my husband quite often,
I often said:  You really do not know how to appreciate me.  I can do way more than regular housewife, but you seem to take it for granted.

最近, 一直與老公聊到這樣的事.
我常說, 你真的不懂得珍惜我耶. 我可以做的事, 遠勝於一般的家庭主婦,但你都當作理所當然一樣.
然後老公就會說:要你不是這樣的人,那我怎麼會娶你呢?
害我每次聽到都白眼;因為,會說出這種話的人,顯然不懂得珍惜自己所擁有的.

during the time of waiting, I was chatting with someone who carried a baby. 
For some reason, the baby keep smiling back to me. 
If I looked away, she would stop.  If I looked at her, she would keep laughing…
(For some reason, I found that the baby under six months old seems to like me, but baby over 9 months usually find me quite scary.)
When I looked at her smiles, 
It remind me that…
when my kis was young, she could easily make …

Knowing when to stop is a task of life…

A friend called me today saying that she was planning to go back to Taiwan this Saturday, but something happened and had to cancel the trip now. 
I wondered:  What happened?
She: Because a friend got hurt from skiing, so I cannot go  back to Taiwan right now. 
Not quite sure how many of you thinking just what I was thinking at the time?
I: What does that have to do with you going back to Taiwan?
She: Because I have to help her taking care of her kids.
I: She can hire some baby sitter …
