Hello everyone!
Very glad that I stumbled onto this website and able to find out what are on the minds of other parents
I am a full time mum with 3 kids; 8, 7 and 5. I run my own e-commerce business at the same time to generate income for the family so as to maintain my flexi-hours.
Hope to be able to learn from everyone here and contribute whatever I can too

Welcome, mummy_of_3! Great to find an entrepreneur in our midst. Hard to classify you… are you are Stay-At-Home-Mum or a Full-Time-Working-Mum??
It would be interesting to find out more about how you manage to stay home and earn an income. I’m sure lots of other SAHMs (or for the matter, SAHDs) will want to know!
What e-commerce site do you engage in? E-bay? -

You are not the 1st to ask this questionWelcome, mummy_of_3! Great to find an entrepreneur in our midst. Hard to classify you... are you are Stay-At-Home-Mum or a Full-Time-Working-Mum??

What e-commerce site do you engage in? E-bay? I would love to be known as a full time mum 1st and foremost because that was the only reason why I started the e-commerce biz in the 1st place, worked hard at it for 2 years part time, so that I could walk away from my full time job as an asst logistics manager a year back.
I wouldn't call myself a stay at home mum because I don't do alot of housework and cooking. I got a help around that does that, which I am very grateful for. I spend all my mornings guiding my kids in their work before they go off to school and then spend the afternoons on my biz. My biz still requires me to meet up with people, which keeps me sane as I still need lots of adult conversations, other than with my hubby of course.
And yep, it runs pretty much like e-bay, except it uses the private franchising model. I work with a USA company called Alticor, which owns Amway here in Singapore. -
Hi Mummy of 3,
I think that’s a great way to spend more time with the kids and stilll make a good income for our kids future. Perhaps we can start a thread on ideas to work part time for stay at home mums and dads or those who aim to be stay at home mum and dads one day. -

I don't know about you but for myself, I always believed that society issues very often come about because of the weakness in the family unit. That is why despite objections from my in-laws, who felt that as a graduate, I should not waste my education, I still felt strongly about replacing my income inorder to have the option to stay home. 1 year has passed but I wake up very morning, thankful that I made this choice

If I'm you and I get to work from home, I'll wake up every AFTERNOON being thankful that I've made that choice :lol:

Hmm... I suppose that should go into the http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewforum.php?f=4&sid=5bd17a8de7cce4601f70d212a416ff77 forum. You planning on running a tuition centre sweatshop?

ChiefKiasu:
No lah. I have a friend of mine who asked me to help him free lance as a tuition co-ordinator. He got quite a huge data base of tutors in his hands, including a number of current teachers. So I am thinking why not, since it's done at my own time and pace? Any way to network and earn extra income for my 3 angels would be good, as long as I get to have flexi hours and personally guide themmummy_of_3:

these days, it is pretty common to find sahm who are graduates. guess what? after a uphill task of juggling school, work and family, i graduated in sep 2006 (after doing my part time degree along with my part time work whilst I am preggy with No. 2) and became a sahm in oct 2006. :roll:
