      Hi

      :salute: to all those who have 3kids and more :udawoman:
      In fact, is quite rare to see parents with more than 3kids nowadays. I saw somewhere here, there's one parent with 6 kids!

      I'm a FTWM with 2 kids, DD2yrs and DS1yr with no maid... Planning to have #3.

      Though my DH drive a 7 seater, we have problem fetching more passengers other than 1 more squeeze in between the bb carseats.
      With 2 bb carseats secured at the 2nd row, it's quite difficult for people to get in to the 3rd row unless climbed in from the back :lol:
      Alternatively, one bb carseat secured at the front and one behind. Can't image if I need to secure another one. :roll:
      With 2 kids, DH sometimes can get crazy :frustrated: managing them not to mention 3. DH will use cane :spank: on them when they get
      really notti and they will cry until very pitiful though caned lightly.

        haha, where did u get the caning symbol?


        with 3 kids or more, for me, i have three nannies:
        maid
        tv nanny
        cane nanny

        (u know why grandparents are not in the list above)

        without the last nanny, the kids will be a bunch of monkeys

          Think I belong here.


          FTWM to 3 kids (P4, P3 and K2 in 2011).

          Yes, we drive a MPV as we stay with Pils so MPV is a necessity for us.

          For books, I only recycle some of the textbooks. Those with really bad condition are written off. This year, I try to wrap my P4 going books with plastic wrapper so hopefully the condition will be fine? For assessment, my P3 going gets hand me downs for those that his sister cannot complete.

          My P3 going boy made a interesting remarks to my K2 going child. It's ok to use jie jie's book, she has done all the work so when the teacher ask, we don't need to do anything. :roll:

              Hi 24hr-mum


              Click on the View more Emoticons underneath the Emoticons to get the caning icon and others.
              I guess u r referring yourself as the 3 nannies, right? Grandparents dote on kids, seldom use :spank: on them.
              But during my times, my parents do use cane on us. When I use cane on my DD, my granny scolded me.

              My kids are not afraid when I scold them or give verbal warning. Often, I have to use cane to get their attention.
              Especially, if they are doing something dangerous.

              I think is ok to recycle textbooks to use as long there's no changes in the syllabus. It can really save a lot of money.
              That's what my parents did during my schooldays. You will need to use plastic wrappers for all the textbooks.

              As for sleeping times, usually by 9:00pm my kids will be in the bedroom trying to get to sleep.

                  Hi 24hr-mum


                  Are you a SAHM? Financial wise, I think is not possible for me to be a SAHM until they go to Pri. Sch.

                      by the way, i do have maid.

                      i use tv keep my 3 kids occupied for a while when my maid is washing n i had to be out.

                      when they dont listen, my super cane will arrive…

                      the trick is: cane them, then sayang them immediately…so they know u cane but u love also

                        hi parents


                        with 3 or more kids, how do u budget expenses for tuition?
                        i m sure cant tuition all subjects for all kids, unless super rich.
                        even if got $, time coordination is a problem, n plus the multiple trips.

                        how do u decide who gets what tuition?
