thoughtful mind

Just when everyone is enjoying Labour Day, I decided to blog again. How odd.

Yes. Today is a public holiday.
And the labour force, not every single one though, gets to have a break.

I am thinking,
on Labour Day,
how many percent of the work force will actually hang out instead of staying at home.

on a usual Sunday-like-holiday,
I always dabao my lunch from the restaurant behind my house.
They have good food there I must say, especially the Ban Mee and Wan Tan Mee. *no picture, sorry.

But, today I decided to go there and have lunch with my twin sisters instead of dabao-ing,
and I got distracted by a scenario which happened right in front of me.

* A young couple, who has got two kids.
Dad - consuming food while watching tv ; Mum - consuming while playing with her smartphone,scrolling up and down there ; Daughter and son - consuming
Out of a sudden, son spilled the food all over his napkin.

Guess who immediately stopped the ongoing action and stood up to do cleaning up?
Dad was the one.

So how did the mum react?
She just went on with her stuff like it's none of her business.

The moment I saw this, I had a thought.
Is this what the women these days do? or is it that men these days carry the responsibility of taking care kids? or maybe they have a deal before going out, and that is dad, to take care of kids today since is is an official day off for all work force today.
I dare not think.

On a side note,
I am quite impressed with men who have the ability of taking care kids well.

Men out there,
do not only focus on your career.
Do spare your kids some of your time.
