A Mother's Worrying

Hello everyone, how are you? It was a busy Sunday yesterday when my friend hired me as a laundry girl for a day for 500 pesos. It was a tiring day when we folded 35 loads. She invested 700,000 pesos on her laundry business. One load costs 170 for 7 kilograms, 80 pesos if wash only without folding and drying. 25 pesos is the cost of service fee for folding. It was a tiring day but I earned a little money that I could buy my baby's medicine because she has a flu. I bought her the branded Ambroxol for her cough, Neozep for her cold and Tempra for her fever. Right now, she's feeling better.

While we were folding a laundry, we talked about business. I was confused what business I would invest in. I experienced myself how tiring the laundry is, from entertaining the customers, loading and drying the clothes, folding and packing. However, there's no easy money, yet, investing a laundry costs a huge capital of money.

While we were talking about what business to do, I remembered to be in this community. But I'm scared to take a risk because it's online. My friend is willing to invest her money here, but right now I'm doubting because I don't wanna be blamed if something happened. And also, I don't have much knowledge about how it works. I need someone who can guide me here, but if it's not a great move, maybe I'd convince her not to do it. Eight years ago, it was really my dream to invest here. If she will finally invest, she can help a lot of writers and it will be a dream come true for me.

While we had a business talk, my mother messaged me that she brought my little daughter at the home of my little sister's classmate. I was wondering why she did that because my daughter is just 3 years old and they brought her into a non-relative just because I wasn't home. I was very upset that she couldn't take care of my daughter even just for a day. I wanted to go back home and take my baby but my little sister sent pictures of her with her new friend.

Instead of worrying, I was relieved that my baby had enjoyed a lot with her new friend names Seve'. Seve's mom took care of my daughter too and fixed her messy hair. They also enjoyed watching the doves outside their yard. Yet, even if I was relieved a little, I was still not feeling 100 percent okay because I was overthinking what if, my daughter can ruin a stuff, what will they do to her? What if, they'll fight with her new friend, how would she defend herself? While I shared it to my friend in the laundry, she also advised me to be calmed because my baby needs to be emotionally independent and strong too. So yeah, I was always reminding myself what she said. It's somehow not good to be emotionally weak.

My baby girl's new friend was asleep, yet she begged him to play. She didn't sleep the entire day because her mom was not on her side to tell her. My little sister said that she didn't look for me. I just laughed because I was worrying a lot but she didn't even remember me. LoL. Even at home, she cannot recognize me when she has a new playmate. I wish that she will be a very strong woman,unlike her mom that is emotionally weak.

When it was 4 pm, I was happy that we will finally go back home because folding the 35 loads of clothes hurt my back. Folding the clothes deserve more service fee than 25 pesos for me because it's a tiring job. Yet, I was sad a little bit that I'll go back home without my daughter. I felt like I didn't wanna go back home, so my friend brought me to her renovated house. Her house is extended with a high ceiling. I helped her with interior designing and she was happy. It's my love to design a house. Later, we finally went back home.

As I entered the door, no one welcomed me saying, "Mama, you're here. I miss you!" When I walked at the living room, my heart was racing so fast when I saw my little sister laid down on her bedroom without my daughter. I asked her where she is. My mind said that maybe she left her at her classmate's house. So I asked why she isn't with her. I was happy when she said that my baby was just sleeping to the next bedroom beside her grandmother. I was happy that she finally back home safe. How about you, if you will experience the same situation, what would you do?
