      agree with you mummies…transferring the twins back to Spore this year seems to be better.

        Hi,Janet and Phtthp…


        The girls will be repeating P5 next year.I am actually thinking of pulling them out and settle their school enrolment before I leave for Australia and Taiwan after NDP because my wife can’t really drive my car to their current school to attend to them in case of emergency in my absence.Quite dangerous too…

        FIL and MIL will be here until I get back.My wife can coach them like what you said and look after the house too.Prepare them to get adapted to the Singaporean educational system too.

        I have not been home for a week and my wife is doing a good job with my MIL of looking after the house and the 2 young girls.

        This weather is really killing everyone with the intense heat.Even fans don’t work at night as it is mostly hot air.Fortunately,the girls and MIL recovered from their sickness.

        Where there is hot weather,I noticed dust tends to gather right after vacuuming and mopping.My wife’s and the girls’ long strands of hair will drop and the floor will be dirty.

        Fortunately for me,I shaved my hair so it feels cooler for me haha.

          Withdraw them from Malaysia school, register them in the school here and get all their school stuff.

          As for them attending class, I don’t know if they will get stressed if they do not understand. So it may be a good idea for your wife to start coaching them before school starts for them next year.

            That is what I am trying to do right now.I don't want my wife to move around a lot esp outside so it is better for the girls to stay at home so that she can coach them.

            Fortunately,I have my in laws to help my wife out.She keeps asking me to get stuff from Chateraise for her ever since her first month of pregnancy.The girls also like to eat pastries from there.

            Hope they decide to open a branch over here at my side soon.I need a Chateraise shop over here.

                And if you want to give your wife some rest time, you could enrol your daughters in a nearby tuition centre for some English lessons (or whatever your wife doesn't want to teach), so the girls can have a change of scene too. You could enrol them at P4 level so they will be prepared to enter P5 next year.

                  Alternatively, can also buy the P5 textbook as per booklist and start coaching them from end of August so that they will not be overwhelmed. Homeschooled them for 4 months I mean, and both mother and children get to stay at home to bond too. There is no English textbooks though, so probably have to buy P5 assessment books instead. And maybe a maths model drawing assessment book if they don’t teach model drawing in JB.

                        FF,

                        When you're done with your training in Australia & Taiwan, it's almost time to welcome the new babies.
                        You are really :udaman: ...2 sets of twins girls and at such a young age. No offence.
                        It's going to be tough on you financially...your wife will have an opportunity to learn how to look after her babies and also bond with the older ones.
