Good morning quirkymum.
I was a SAHM for a year.
I came back to work in June due to a mini domestic crisis.
But I hope to go back to being a SAHM this year-end.
I miss my DD alot but I've gotten used to the pace at work.
When I get home at night, it's non-stop action: dinner and bath with DD, expressing milk, nursing, bedtime stories and we both sleep at about 9-9.30pm. Weekends are even busier. But looking at my DD, it's worth it :love:

You have two+two to look after :salute:
Try to rest when you can: when they are playing on their own, napping, watching tv etc.
Come online and chat with us to gain some sanity
It's exhausting, don't kid yourself but you are not alone.

Kudos to all mummies and daddies :celebrate:

bedtime stories....trying to start but can't find the time yet. Rush home every day to cook dinner for bb, feeding, bathing, packing for CCC the next day and etc. Will you be doing part-time when becoming a SAHM again?

That’s what I’m doing everyday too … with 2 young BB

Mrs Ang:

I don't think so Mrs Ang.
I did for a few months when I was pregnant.
But when DD came along, no time liao.
SAHM is a full-time job.

Hey duriz,

Thanks I do need some me-time and this forum does provide it

How long did you breast feed your child for? I could only last for 3 months for mine I think if you can be a SAHM, that would be the best! Are there a lot of SAHMs nowadays? It seems that there are a number of this forum.

That is great! You can breast feed for 1 year! She must be very healthy
Do you have any other children?

Thanks quirkymum.

DD's had 1 cough - MIL gave her cold watermelon juice without my knowing :x and 1 cold - MIL gave her an outdoor bath (in our garden) under the hot sun :x but nothing that was virus-related.

DD is my one and only :love:
