Me Time!

[Yngmng]

FF, you are a doting Husband.


I eat a lot during pregnancy but most of the weight gain was on me. DD2 only weighs 2 kg.

I didn't have cravings either, was just eating to survive. I would lose weight in first trimester and take Ensure and supplements to help get enough calories and nutrients. Fortunately my babies were very chubby at birth.


I kinda envy women who can eat their way through their pregnancies. It must be really nice.

Nice in a way, but could be difficult to shift the weight after birth! I had minimal morning sickness or cravings, so just went on with life as per normal. But I had a friend who had very bad MS for 5 mths (!) and could barely eat, then made up for it be eating her way through the remaining weeks of pregnancy. Both her babies were fine, and she's the type who sheds weight really fast.

My wife also sheds weight fast too…


I specifically told her to practice self control over her food intake when I was in the US.If the Delivery Man does not move,then she has to find other ways to help herself.

I also want to watch Dunkirk too.I am always into war history.Must steal some time off to watch.Maybe today as I am on leave.Wife and DDs are more into Japanese and Korean TV and music so I will be the only one watching.They find war movies violent and bloody.

But wars has often/always been bloody and violent right?

Just curious...Was it wrong of me to let my wife wear her JC uniform yesterday esp in her pregnant state?

Wrong in what sense? I don't think her being pregnant has any bearing (unless she is obviously pregnant, then it's not very good for the school's reputation!). Some schools may restrict uniforms for \"official\" purposes and may not like uniforms to be worn for other purposes, even by alumnae.

Don't overindulge your wife - if she gains too much weight, it will not be healthy for her pregnancy. And some of those foods may just add calories without much nutrition. She should eat healthily and wisely - get her to read it up for herself so she knows.

i personally find not very nice to wear jc uniform out when you already out fm school

Oh yah,I like to see her in her JC uniform haha.

She looks more attractive that way haha.

Just spoke to the principal of the school that I am putting both zehzehs in,he offered places for them in his school provided they start in P4 in 2018.

I don't think the main issue is the age thing, it's more about whether the school would appreciate non-students to be wearing the uniform for non-sanctioned events.

That will mean they will be 2 yrs behind their age cohort? Looks like he thinks they are quite behind the Sg school standard. If you and they are OK with that, it's fine, but it means they may not be allowed to repeat any year in future. Perhaps you could accept the offer, but ask the principal to test them at the end of the year, and if they have improved enough, let them enter P5 instead? But you will have to ensure that they do some catch-up work over the next few months. In fact, if you definitely want them to go to Sg school next year, you could just withdraw them from the JB school now and let them focus on the catchup. You could send them for some tuition or AEIS prep classes for the next few months so they have some guidance as to what and how to prepare, and save the time and effort travelling back and forth every day. Since they haven't been in the JB school very long, they won't have built up close friendships etc and may not mind stopping.

Instead of sending them for tuition,maybe my wife can set up a timetable for them and assign them work to do when we are at work?

Another way is since they are going to take their exams in 3 months time,might as well let them finish and come in to P4 in SG next year?
