Club SAHM

I warned hubby that if he messes up my time-table for kids, I will wash my hands off and he takes care of everything. Men or should I say husbands should be smart not to court trouble by complaining about condition of the house when there are young children. I used to tell my maid that safety and hygiene are very important…but of course house should be presentable too.

eh buds, too bad my sons are much younger than your girls, else i think they make very good wives! such good training from a young age!
The girls can spring clean, sweep & mop their own room and the rest outside too. Fold and hang up on their hangers (colour coded for each girl) and also do up laundry on days they're having a good mood or nothing to do. :lol: This helps too. These days with the baby, they each race to help take care of the baby. :politebleah: Much to the baby's displeasure at being smothered really. :laugh: My DD2 is the most hardworking with chores and she loves watching me cook. She says next time she wants to cook for her family too.. just like mommy. :love: -

Would love to be in-laws with buds, can sample her cookings and with her knowledge can groom the grandkids somemore.... :evil:
But such things I leave it to fate, what is meant to be will be and what is not meant to be can't be forced.
However I do not discourage others from being proactive :evil:
Buds' ears must be itching now :rotflmao: both of us talking about her :rotflmao: -

Actually both sets of in-laws in the future will be able to get along ...since people are more educated and have a diff mind-set unlike the older generation now. -
buds! you realli spoil market ah! take care of the kids, teach the kids, cook, clean, and still have time (and energy) for ahem…
lucky for me, DH doesn’t have the time nor the inclination to come visit this site, or i will have no more excuses!
I used to do the cooking and cleaning etc. when i was living overseas. then I really had no help. but when i came back, got the grandparents climbing over each other to come and help. i guess i’m fortunate, but i miss those days when i had the house all to myself and could decide exactly what i was going to cook for the week. now, very hard to tell the old folks not to come coz it’s like snubbing them…so when they say they got to go on holiday or cannot come coz of whatever medical appt, i am quite happy!
I get my boys to clean up after themselves, but there’s a limit to how much housework I can get them to do. washing dishes is OK. but if I get them to mop the floor…aiyoh! you know boys arh…they will turn it into a game of splash the thief or froth the burglar and i will have to do double duty cleaning up… at most i get them to help me magic mop. even then, they will start playing with the mop stick and the wiper bit will touch the floor for all of 3 seconds…
DH used to help with the housework, but now he is too busy and when he is not working, i’d rather he spend time with me or the boys, rather than cleaning up. but i’m wondering if i should make him do some cleaning up, then at least the boys have a good role model. -

Maybe it will be a more civilised relationship but educational level does not always reflect the character of the person.

I have to lay claim to the most underworked SAHM cos I can’t cook and don’t do housework. Guess that could be why I’m feeling quite bored. Not used to having so much free time after being hectic ftwm for so long.
