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.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.
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. -

Just came out of an ice cold shower in the midst of the hot weather after a rough day.Very shiok.Hope those and their families who are not feeling well recently are feeling better.FF,

Appreciate your advice very much.
Will proceed to withdraw the girls from school next week and prepare their school things as well.My wife got P4 and P5 assessment books ready at home for all 4 subjects.They will do these books to ascertain their standards.My parents are asking me if I will allow them to fly to Australia because my parents want to spend a month with them in their farm.Still divided on making a decision.
I am already 35.Where got young?Haha....I will be an Ah Lau in another few years.
My wife said she will not stay at home forever.She is only taking the year off and back to teaching in 2019.She is not the type who will stay at home forever.
As for finances,we have money saved up for rainy days.Being frugal is the key.Which means not much chances for her and the girls to buy pastries at Chateraise.
The 3 of them always pull each other in there after getting money from me to buy their favourite pastries while I was left waiting impatiently in the car.

Along with getting assessment books for them,my wife is also taking this route as well. -

ONLY 35...why not young? many men may not even be married or have kids.

looks like your wife has planned everything. do p4 titles to build their foundation first and then attempt p5 end of this year.
