I am also doing similiar housework like Janet.

the housework i hate doing is cleaning table top/tv tops and windows.
hanging up wet laundry is what i find enjoyable.

it's raining here. do be prepared for flash floods if you're going out. hopefully the MRT tunnels don't get flooded.

I hate vacuuming and mopping.Thankfully DH took over everything for the last 3 months on the reason that I can't move around a lot.

I was told to rest and not move more.

Ahh,this kind of weather is very relaxing.Felt sorry for my sis and DH who had to go to school and work.

Did the rain just continue from last night?


Drive and walk safely.

Look out for falling tree branches.

i'm ok with vacuum and mop because dusty floor will cause heels will crack. sticky floor is unbearable.

When I was a SAHM and DS finally went to school for 7 hours straight, these are the things I did:

- finally catch up on my sleeeeeeeeeeep!
- meet up with fellow SAHMs for breakfast!
- started an exercise regime to get back in shape: used my ActiveSG credits to try out Aerobics and Pilates classes. Also found like-minded SAHMs to jog together in Botanic Gardens
- started reading all those books on my to-read list *uninterrupted*
- started a baking hobby (bread, cakes, muffins, mooncakes etc)
- went for massage/facial/mani-pedi to feel better and look less frumpy
- spent meditation time thinking about what new things I could learn, what makes me feel fulfilled, what is my aim in life. With a young kid always tied to your apron strings, it's hard for us mums to consider anything or anyone besides our precious kids. After they go to school and are out of your hair, you may feel some \"at a loss\" feelings, but soon you will be recharged and regain your sense of identity apart from \"mum\".

so can i assume u return to work in the end?
SAHM handling one kid only maybe a bit boring when child grows bigger and busy with their sch activities

I find the feeling of sticky floors unbearable too...There are 4 long haired individuals in the house but I just don't like to see the long hairs idling on the floor.

And when the girls eat their tidbits,they drop the crumbs unknowingly.

Think must buy a robotic vacuum cleaner soon.

Ya, 1 kid too boring hor. I always think that one child is too few. Zac mum, Why don’t you try for 1 more? When we are sick, they have someone to discuss what to do. When we are no longer around, they won’t be alone in this world.

Initially,I wanted to have only 2 kids with this view in mind but I did not take my family's childbearing history in mind and got more than what I bargained for.

[janet88]

only child is really lonely. when he/she is young, there are 2 parents attending to one…but when the parents are old, it’s 1 child attending to both…and when he/she gets married, it will be challenging for the only child to attend to elderly parents and the own family. there is no sibling to discuss family matters with.
