      I’m more of a bargain hunter. If the handbags I fancy at 40% off or more, I chiong hor. Don’t care that I don’t ‘need’ more handbags

        I think it's a girl thingy, my kids wild say they LIKE the thing so must have it.. faintz!

        better dun go shopping often to save myself from getting frustrated.
        My girls are not shoppers and hate window shopping. They'd rather stay at home. I have to make appointments and drag them out to buy clothes and shoes (about twice a year)! They know we have a storage issue, so they will say \"no space\" even if they like the things we see.

          I haven't been window shop for quite a long time. Go, buy then go off.
          Ditto.
          But strangely, when I purposely went shopping for clothes, couldn't find what I want. 扫兴
          Yet when I happened to walk pass a mall to go to mrt, with no intention of shopping, always managed to spot something I like

              Speaking of volcano, I just erupted 1 hour ago!

              dd1 threw tantrum and picked a fight with dd2 that implicated me. I told her repeatedly to stop it but she still continued her 无理取闹. So I exploded. She scared, started crying. Then fast come fast go. 5 mins later she calmed down like nothing ever happened. Kids back to their routine.Just overheard dd2 talking harmoniously to dd1 in the kitchen and giggling.

              Chey, 干嘛老是拖我下水. If I end up with more wrinkles 谁赔给我

                  Not shopping is just one thing (probably learned from us parents). I've had to coach and supervise the older one a lot over the years. Even homeschooled them for some years.

                    Mine is just the opposite, wanting to go shopping is juz one ting.. How I hope they can stay at hm and be cosy wif us. Me got to coach both, super duper testing of my patience.

                        Outsource to me helps take away some guilty feeling.
                        At least I feel she has that one session (though once a week only) in a week under proper guidance. At home I somehow find that time could be lost just like that. Week in and week out and still no revision 😓 My nag can dont stop but at night when I go to bed..still the same..carry the guilty feeling. I m also tired liao. Like yesterday, she was tired and perhaps feeling abit unwell with spelling not finished reading coz last week has been almost all play...but hor still got to go tuition after the remedial lesson. I heart pain la but then still feel like let her get squeezed while she still could take it...anyway today will be PH.
