The Babysitter

Part 48

Hi there, enjoy your reading...

Mon's POV

Mon: You are so handsome, little guy.

I kissed his feet while I was applying some lotion around his body... I just finished his bath time.

He bubbled something and I smiled.

He's four months now but he's so interactive and friendly with everyone!

I've been taking him to the park with Sarai and whenever he sees someone near him he smiles...Sam hates it! She doesn't think it's safe - meaning in the future he could easily go with strangers.

I see her point but at the same time I see JoJo just as a happy baby who enjoys seeing every face - we will just have to explain about "stranger danger" when he's able to understand.

But anyway, speaking of my wife...

She has returned to work - I mean she never really left. She stayed that first month home but whether she likes it or not she's the owner and CEO so her presence and opinions are always needed.

She tried her best to give our newest family member all the attention he needs but it's really hard for her to just forget about her companies. She works from home most days but sometimes she needs to be in the office - so I am staying with JoJo while Sarai is at school...

I still haven't decided when I will return to my Job - that makes Sam happy; she never wanted me to start working there anyway so me still being undecive about returning brings her lots of Joy!

Part of me doesn't want to go back but at the same time, I miss working. However, I feel like Joy needs someone with him for now. He's too young to be just left with anyone (that's not our friends or Ms. Mai!)

Ms. Mai offered to watch him but it's too much for her to take care of the house and a baby; besides she's getting older... So I will stay with him and give him all love he needs while Mama and Sarai are away.

Another thing, our Sarai has gotten more clingy/jealous since Joy arrived. She doesn't play unless me and Sam are around her and if we give her an excuse she gets upset! She has also been requesting to sleep in our room because Joy also sleeps there with us, which doesn't make things easier for us.

We've tried to talk to her and explain but she doesn't want to agree with us and we don't want to make her upset or feel left out. We have tried staying in her room until she falls asleep but every time we get up to leave her room she wakes up immediately and then follows us to our room; usually when we try to take her back to her room after she falls asleep she wakes up crying!

We tried training Joy to sleep alone in his room but the little boy doesn't like it - we should've listened to our friends and Doctor from the very beginning - now he won't sleep unless he feels our warmth; while it's cute it's also the most frustrating thing ever!

So things are getting complicated and I don't know how to fix it anymore - they are sleeping every night with us - which leaves me and my wife with no intimate contact!

Me and Sam basically are strangers in our bedroom - We are doing great as parents but not as partners!

I never imagined that having two kids would leave us with so little time to date and enjoy ourselves.

I would never regret this life that we have now. Our children are truly the greatest gift of our lives. Even though I miss being with my wife, I can't picture my life without these two little humans - and I am sure my wife agrees -

But we need to figure out ways to date because I am afraid this will make me and Sam's relationship/love fade away...

It's only been months since our lives changed and this new routine took over and I can already sense that we are already there.
