Saving family’s budget for long term can begin from now, even though when we haven’t raised a family yet. I’m interested in an article in a site months ago, which wrote that if you intended for smart saving, you may start by not buying a baby crib. Coz it’s more sensible if you buy an adult-sized bed so your kid can use it until they grow up later. I assume that the person who wrote this, he hasn’t had a baby. Or even worse, he was broken coz he’s ever had a baby.

But it’s true, coz a baby crib is an happening-not-happening in someone’s life. If you think it more, if you’re a baby, then you sleep in a baby crib. When you grow up, just about three years old later, are you gonna keep sleeping inside the crib? Of course not. You’ll gonna ask to move to a bigger crib, a.k the “real” bed, just a bed which hasn’t got a rail on it. The question is, what are you gonna use the baby crib for, then?
Then I think, that actually babies never request to be laid down in cribs. Actually their parents who wants to lay them down in it. So, it’s gotta be the parents who bother mostly for picking up a crib, they both to hurd up a crib which has Winnie the Pooh figure on it, then they wanna hang a toy which make sound “klenong-klenong” above the crib, and they hunt small pillows which smell like a baby oil. The baby? It doesn’t wanna sleep inside the crib instead, it just loves to lay down in its mommy’s arms.

I also feel how hard it is to maintain a baby crib. My sister was born three years younger than me, and I saw her got a baby crib. It made her sleep alone, and she didn’t sleep with our mom. Those years, I hadn’t slept with my mom anymore; we were still in the same room, but I got a single bed for my own. As my sister grew up, she slept with me and the baby crib was buried in our storage. I think, it was an effective way for farming rats.
There are lotta solutions for recycling baby cribs. The most effective way is by donating them to orphan houses. But now I don’t care about it. I just care, that do we really need baby cribs or not? Coz if we don’t, then we shouldn’t buy it. So as the baby is born, then it sleeps with us, and we have to sleep with its urine smell voluntarily. Hm.. and my husband won’t be able to hug me in our bed coz the baby joins sleeping with us. J

By the way, I never sleep in a baby crib. Coz when I was born, my parents were in a difficult condition, coz my dad worked in a very far place from town, so it was hard for him to buy me a crib. When things were getting better and that year my dad could move to town, I had grown up and I didn’t need any crib anymore. And I guessed, I really didn’t need any. Probably my sister did, coz she wasn’t sung lullaby by my mom, but our maid did it for her. :-D
Suddenly I wanna have a baby now.. Hahahah!
