I'm Yoly. Actually, we're not rich. I'm a market vendor, my husband is a farmer. But even though our livelihood is like this, I can say that we're happy with our simple lifestyle. We have five children—our eldest, just thirteen years old.
My husband, well, seems to be tireless. Even though he's been in the field all day, when he comes home, it's as if he has extra energy left over. He used to joke, "I'm fine plowing all day, as long as I plow you at night." Actually, I laugh when he says that. But sometimes, I wonder—well, maybe what he says is true and we'll have more children!
In today's difficult life, I would like to focus on raising my children. I also want to focus on their education. My children will be happy. When my husband and I get home, they take care of us first. Someone will wash the dishes, someone will sweep, someone will prepare drinks. They say they want us to rest. Every time I see them like that, I feel less tired.
But no matter how much fun we have, I can't help but worry. Because if we're not careful, there might be another one. It's not that I don't like my children—life is just hard. Sometimes I really think about taking pills, but the problem is, we don't have any here. I still have to travel far. Well, I can't just leave, especially since I have to sell every day.
I love my husband so much, that I often can't refuse him. I also don't want him to think I'm out of it or that he might think of something stupid. But I also want to explain to him that this isn't just about romance. I'm thinking about our family's future.
Sometimes, I think maybe we should try the natural way. The calendar—find out when you're not fertile. I don't know if I can convince him, but I'd like to try. I hope he understands that this isn't a rejection of him, but just a precaution.
Honestly, our situation is fun and even funny. It's like a telenovela—there's fun, there's a little drama, but there's always a mix of love. I just hope that, over time, we'll learn to balance everything—the romance, the responsibility, and our dream of raising our children well.
