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.

Hey quirkymum,

There are many SAHMs here
I'm still breastfeeding DD.
She turns one this Saturday :love:

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:

Your MIL stays with you? :shock: How do you manage?

Mine stays at the other end of the island, not that she is nasty but if we stay with her, I will get a permanent headache! The way she does things is very different from me and we will be stepping on each other's toes all the time.

We stay with them.
We manage.
No major conflict.
But yes, different approach when it comes to raising DD.
We are careful to \"dance\" around each other's toes

You will be facing her 24/7 after you become a SAHM so both of you must have mastered excellent \"dancing\" skill. I no longer bother to perform that skill and she knows it.

Admire your patience, I hate to \"dance\" around her toes.
But if you manage then its good, she can help you look after DD when you
need some time for hubs and you?

Live and let live.
We are all mothers afterall.
One day I shall be a MIL as well.
A good, patient and loving one I hope

Yes we do \"subcontract\" DD out to her and FIL on Saturday nights, which is our date night. I drive DH; pick, make reservations and pay for dinner; or we go to a movie. He makes me (and his family) dinner every night (plus extra for my lunch box the next day) so this is my way of saying thanks to him :love:

What an amazing DH you have! He cooks for you and his family? I must get my DH to read this..but honestly, I cant cook also so I cant complain. Any thoughts of having more children?

That, my dear quirkymum, is a million dollar question
