      Press on 🙂
      Am turning 51 this year but still pressing on being a FTWM. Mine is Morning (starts 7.30am) or Afternoon shift (till 10.30pm). If there are big events, I need to work OT or during wkends too.
      So for household chores and cooking will be real simple and minimal.

      Ladies
      Happy Valentine's Day :love:

        I totally agree it is not easy for ftwm, esp when one needs to work on regular hours… but one advantage, which I really like, is probably they very well trained in switching their roles/changing of hats between home and work…they more I feel so important when age is catching up…

                      It is always fun to buy CNY cookies but not so fun to deal with bottles of half-consumed cookies lying around.

                        zac's mum:

                        I’m sure there are much more efficient ways to do this (which real FTWMs do), but I feel there’s just not enough bonding time with my kid. (The homework time does not count as joyful bonding!) Time just flies past while everyone is busy rushing and cranky with no down time.
                        FTWMs have no ME time.
                        our weekends are burnt as daughter has to revise for her weekly tests and finishing up homework. I set her tuition on Friday nights so that we can breathe a little on Saturday night by going out for dinner. the weekends literally zoom past and it's back to another work week. the homework this year (sec 3) is crazy!
                        there are weekly tests to keep the girls on the ball, but they are ungraded. it would be great if they are graded so that there is some motivation.
