Today is a day after the start of the month and seeing how our supplies have ran out means shopping time has come. We went to a supermarket downtown hoping there would be discount for disposable diapers and formula for forthweeks supplies. Happily, we got what we wanted there and bought some extras such as detergent and tissues.
Done shopping, I looked at the bill and wondering. Before becoming a housewife I never think about how much a month worth shopping would affect my salary. I just buy whatever I want and there will still be extra in my account. Yet now everything seems different from before. I have no income so everything comes from my husband salary.
It makes me worry whenever I buy something for myself. I'm affraid that without knowing I have become a burden for buying my necessities. Rather than buying for myself it will be better to buy things for my baby.
It will be a waste if I buy Rp.100000 make-up for myself if the same amount can get three bundle diapers worth for a month. I just realized that this is what being a housewife means. Still trying to cope everything till now. Hopefully I can do better after some time.
