      As for me, I was left with the burden of paying off every single expenses and also the rental money to my mother and at the same time, to do housework and also to look after my baby all by myself.

      After 1 week of NO SLEEP at all and NO HELP from anybody, I literally collasped, sinking into a deep depression.
      So sorry to hear your story... this is worse than being a single parent... reminds me of the saying that women's greatest fear is 怕嫁错郎...

      your mum forces you to pay rental cos your family stays in her house?

      really feel very sympathetic for your situation. Hope things get better soon for you.

        There are people who have grown up children (already working or married off), stays in a HDB flat but keeps a dog and have a maid to look after the dog. Wat do you think ? I personally think this is not money wisely spent and totally unnecessary.

          but seriously that is up to individual household lah. Maybe there are more than that and we might never know.

            Think with grown up kids, there is no subsidise of the levy. Think they have to pay for higher levy. 😛 Since they have the \"extra\" money to engage why not? :? I could only say the dog have better life than the maid lor. 😉 I told my colleague that their dogs has better life than me. kekekeke... I still struggering like a cow... :lol:

              How could I not understand what the issues are when the wife I love dearly manages the household with my help? Don't ever question that if you have no knowledge of me or what goes on in my family.

              Just because one voices an alternative opinion does not mean that one needs to attacked.

              Sheesh :roll:
              Hi,

              Similarly, pls do not question the \"alternative opinions\" of the rest of the folks here if/when you have \"no knowledge of us or what goes on in our families \"

              If you are not comfortable with these \"alternative opinions\" when compared to you own, you are welcome to not participate in this thread
