Thanks BlurBee and hello to loveskidsverymuch which is a verylongname!


For those of you with school going kids, would you share how you manage the transport for sending and picking up kids from school. Find it a challenge esp in view of irregular hours due to CCAs and not wanting the take the bus in the morning in view of the early pick up. Anyone know of any private transport companies which would be cheap and good?!

Thanks! :?:

Hi


Hello All,

Hi All,


I just saw this thread, and FTWM (DD & DS (twins) P1) reporting. I think I won’t be happy being a SAHM, though the temptation is always there! But like most others, need the income (especially since we’ve just signed the papers to move to a bigger home) and also I get v bored just staying at home and doing housework (no offense to any SAHM, but I feel I’m just not cut out for it!)

I’ve been in this company since the day I realized I was pregnant (the day I went to the dr to confirm my preg was my 1st day here!) and though it’s not a well paying one, it lets me leave on dot, can come late if there is an emergency and at times can even work from home, so am here…

Hello Mummies, FTWM reporting here too with 2 boys.


I have always wanted to quit my job and stay at home so that I can spend more time with my kids. But hor, I really can’t stand the idea of having to ask hubby for money each time I wanna buy something. Also I won’t be able to give my parents allowance. Furthermore, I feel extremely insecure with no money on hand. So here I am, still slogging in the office…no courage to quit…

me too leh, also cannot stand the thoughts of asking money from hb. and i also wanted to be financially independent too. the bigger reason is to escape from MIL cos we stay under one roof...

Hello to all the newcomers (that makes me feel like I am now a senior!)


I have always entertained the idea of being a SAHM but have not had the guts to quit after working for long. Also not sure whether we can manage on a single income. So plodding along.

I think that it would be great to be a SAHM if you have a maid to do all the housework!

The eternal dilemna of FTWMs - not enough time with our kids !


Yes, after years of working full-time & seeing how much additional time the SAHMs have with their kids, the temptation is there to stop or go part-time. Hubby says though that he thinks I am not cut out for staying at home & better to outsource some of the teaching...anyone a firm believer in outsourcing? I think the SAHMs will be appalled at my suggestion :roll:
