Relationship b/w FTWM & children vs SAHM & children

[sakura_2009]

toddles:

That also crossed my mind - what would the title be?


I would say something like \"difficult mother-daughter relationships\"?

And the aim would be to inspire each other to persevere and improve these relationships.

Cos I know that most times, once our parents pass away, we will regret not being nicer to them etc etc, and usually only remember the good things about them.

Hi, all

I happen to chance upon this thread and after reading some of the postings, I sort of felt really 'relieved' that I'm not the only one out there having r/s problems with my mum. I really hope to be able to get some tips on how to 'handle' my mum better and to improve these relationships, so that I've no regrets later when she eventually pass on ...

Okie, how abt "Difficult Relationship with Parents"


Rationale is so that both mummies and daddies can post and its not only confined to r/s with mummies.

I am about to post a new topic so last call.

[toddles]

to bring it back a little bit "into topic", so for those of us with difficult relationships with our own mothers, were they sahm or ftwm?

[mummy of 2]

Let's wait for new thread to be up then we continue our discussion there?

[autumnbronze]

Okie done.


Wanted a final opinion, but I went ahead with this title anyway ... since I didn't want to keep 'us' waiting anymore

So type away ...

It is about the quality of time spent with the children, not just quantity.


Of course, a base level of quantity needs to be there. If the parents work so late that they don’t even get to see their kids and talk to their kids during weekdays, then it is going to be challenging.

My wife & I spend at least 1.5 to 2 hours of quality time with our young kids every day, as well as almost our entire weekends are spent with them.

Hi, I am new here.


I am considering to be SAHM to take care my P2 son, due to he not doing well in the school. All the while he was taking care by my parents in law. But this few months is more worst like he don’t litsen to grandparents and don’t do homework and keep watching TV.

Any mummies can share their experiences and advise me, should I give up my work and be SAHM?

Hi,
You may want to find out the reason why he is not doing well. It will be good to speak to his subject teachers on how is he doing in class. Also, you can consider to get him a home tutor to coach him on the weaker subjects. Based on my past experience,grand parents will not stop their grandchildren from watching TV programs.
