Club SAHM

KingRascal:

However lately I find another category more 'scary' - those who say they don't know how to coach their children and thus do not give them any extra classes or work...but actually they are

doing it secretly, and their withhold information from you on what they know of good programme.

Lately I noted of someone like that around me and it sadden me.

This reminds me of one of my classmates when I was in school. She'd pretend she's clueless of what's being taught and appeared to be unprepared for the exams but in fact she was studying harder than anyone else and always came out no. 1 in the class. I really dispise people like that. I guess those selfish/insecure parents were once such kind of students before.

maybe when dd2 is a bit older, buds and jedamum can meet up with me sometime? esp since dd1 will have late days on mondays and fridays now.

Meet when DD still baby oso can lah schellen. I have to return you your
mags too. I have many friends but those who can talk at the same
mind frequency are the rare friends that i like to keep and meet up
with more often. I'm great with my neighbours too, so for social
circle not a problem reali as long as we SAHMs are open to
meet up and open up to more people. There are friends
who have regular badminton days and running days,
but i have makan days... hee. :lol:

buds:

Meet when DD still baby oso can lah schellen. I have to return you your mags too.

Hi Sunflower,


which part of sK are you staying at ?

I have tried to go back to workforce for a month but resigned after a month to withdraw my boy from childcare as his frequency of being sick is really bad.

Anyway, during the one month of work been mentally stress on myself heee… cos I only managed to see my boy sometimes less than 1 hour a day.

Hello there, Mommies!


Am a SAHM, have been so for almost 2 years now. Had been working in the technical field since graduation and had to reallly, really, really adjust during my first months as a SAHM in how to deal with my DS1. Been working way too much OT it seemed like my DS1 didn't know me anymore. He would prefer DH or his grandma to carry him instead of me. I think DS1 and i both had to adjust during those early months.

Sometimes i miss working and being a techie. Now i don't even know how to feel like a techie anymore. Can't help feeling \"useless\" and frustrated at times, too. But retail therapy helps a lot hahaha! :rahrah:

There are always ups and downs in being a SAHM. Like circle of friends becoming increasingly small. And there's the $$$ factor. However, spending time with the kids is really rewarding: seeing their faces light up in some new discovery; witnessing the raw happiness etched in their faces as they play; becoming their playmate and friend.

It's not easy being cooped up at home every day, though. Sometimes, there are just days i'd feel like going out somewhere and leave everything as is. But, of course, you'd have to make sure the kids are alright with the Grannies before zooming past and out the front door.

Anyway, am glad there's this section here for SAHMs! I think it's a great way to get views from the ones who've been at this longer, during the times when we aren't feeling oh-not-so-great. At the same time, sharing our own experiences might help others in some small way or another.

Glad to be here with you, Mommies! :celebrate:
