      In fact, he was the one who insisted I should stay at home and look after the children!

      1). He is worried I will fall for other men so he kept me at home. He said office affairs are a sad fact of modern life

      2). DH said after a hard day’s work outside, he doesn’t want to return home to hear all my grumbling about my boss/colleagues.

      3). If I don’t need the money, there is no reason why I need to go out to 受气. He said i won’t be able to take it well to be under a boss younger than me and likely poorer than me.
      wives are worried when their husbands see well dressed office ladies compared to the one at home.
      husbands are worried when wives see charming and good looking guys in the office.
      at SGH yesterday, I saw this good looking doctor....can't control myself either :rotflmao:

      as for grumbling, your hubby has a good point there. I know I will do that if I go back to work.
      basically he wants someone to hear him out but not vice versa. when he goes to see the doctor, he wants company. I feel like a mother bringing a big kid to see the doctor though. he sits there and keeps quiet when the doctor asks him questions. sometimes I will look at him to open his mouth to reply the doctor :slapshead:

      even though the money will come in handy (if I return to work), there will be a lot of changes at home especially since he works long hours. my market value is not that high after being a SAHM for so long.

        I feel that I don’t have enough time everyday. It is just me or it’s the same case for people here too?

          My ME time will be Sun.
          I've always marvelled how FTWMs handle everything...work full days and come back to face kids, their education and housework.

          although I'm not working, I look forward to weekends when we will go out and spend time together.
          this weekend is the first one she will get to enjoy thoroughly after all the weighted tests.

            our week ends are dedicated to house chores n classes
            some church frens -who are either home makers or not working & with maids dun understand the reason why we are so busy as only i can attend weekly cell meeting- they keep asking where is my dh - i keep repeating - my dh need to wash dishes n helping ironing job on friday evenings so that ME the wife can attend cell - some even commented are there so many dishes & kitchen to clean ?! this show how detached they are on house chores as they have either maids or not helping their stay home wives in chores at all.
            Dh says he is a TRUE IRONman ..... hahhahaha.... we try to buy clothes that no need to iron -but still need to press on some shirts n especially sch uniforms that crease easily :roll:

            i told my kids if sch ever comment the uniforms not ironed well - ask the teacher or P to call me - I will give the person a \"good\" life lesson - so far so good ..no such calls .... 😉

              I never have a helper but I think helper has their own issues. I was fortunate to have my in laws to help when I was working. DD1 has always been very independent with her school work. But my DD2 need more attention.

                    😂 yeah...especially those working outside, ladies or men, I believe somehow there will be a point where we will get that kind of attention/temptation..I strongly believe really depend on own self, we want to do/accept/try or not..

                        I am a bit better off lor coz my own working table is not neat too so many things I really can close my eyes one. No, I dont think I will ever get a helper when the kids are this big now..touch wood only when really needed at old age lor.
