Jankee Parekh Instagram – I called my mom last evening to baby sit Sufi as Nakuul had the day off from work and both of us wanted to step out to get some coffee. I wasn’t comfortable leaving Sufi home alone with the nanny but my mother missed all my calls as she had kept her phone on silent and was out shopping. I was so annoyed and angry that she didn’t revert to any of my messages. You see Nakuul doesn’t get an off very often, and I didn’t want to miss that one chance of going out for coffee with him as I didn’t know when he would have his next day off .. Eventually we didn’t go out and right when we were about to hit the bed after a long exhausting day of running errands and cleaning Sufi’s poop and pee 10 times through the day ( as I am trying to give him some diaper free time at home), Naks gets a message from the production that he doesn’t have to come to work tomorrow. I jumped right out of my bed, called my mum again, hoping she picks up this time. She apologised for missing all my calls and I might have also made her feel guilty about how exhausted I was through the day and she was not there for that half hour when I wanted her to be 🤦🏼‍♀️ I finally told her that she can make up for this by reaching home at 8.30 am sharp next morning so that Nakuul and me can now go out for breakfast. She instantly agreed to be there for little Sufi while both of us get some time off for ourselves. While we may think we might be single handedly raising our children, if it wasn’t for our support system, our mothers and extended family, to be honest, none of this would be possible. Someone rightly said, that it takes a village to raise a child. Who is your village ?:-) #Sufiandmaa #motherhood #firsttimemom
