How much do you spend on the kids' tuition/enrichments?

[buds]

jedamum:

but my dh said the opportunity cost of me being a SAHM is already way higher than having more enrichment. :roll:

Deep down, i'm sure you know your DH is right after all.

janet_lee88:

....need to hire a maid as well...so I'm now maid-cum-tutor.

Hahaa.. aren't we SAHMs all multi-taskers of diff professions at home? :lol:
Maid will help out in terms of those nonsensical in out chores that never ends
so that you can concentrate on managing your family time while balancing
working full time. By not having to do chores, quality time is enhanced.

The only thing we spend on is mainly DD1's violin lesson... for now.
May need to outsource for Maths with #3 coming soon, dunno have time
anot to maintain. DD2 learns very well with me and most times a
very independent learner... hence for her it's all DIY. She used
to do piano but the interest was shortlived.

So current damage only : 100+ (for my pri sch gg girls)

My DD will be P3 next year, just send her to Enopi United Square 2. I should send her earlier...K2 will be the best age to develop her math ability there.

CL tuition is based on $30 an hour…son has 1 1/2 hours and daughter has 1 hour…total 2 1/2 hours. Sorry if I gave wrong figure.


English enrichment at Jan & Elly…that is a killer. Actually $420 is for 1 term of 10 weeks…works out to be $42 per lesson every Sun. ($20 more for Sat/Sun). Wanted to take him out but his English subject improved.

Wanted him to continue with swimming as a form of exercise and relaxation but coach moved his swimming session to son’s nap time. No time for anything else on weekdays.

HI buds,

Yes having a maid means the non-valued jobs like washing bowls, clothes, hanging/keep laundry & washing school shoes can be passed on to maid…provided she doesn’t add on problems like her working attitude.

But without a maid, I have freedom and the amt used to spend on maid is now used on son’s enrichment lessons and not-so-tight finances. Stressful having a maid at home too…don’t know what is going on in her brain.
