Haha...but he still leaves his dishes in the kitchen sink for the sink fairy to wash! And the clothes hangers pile up by his bedside waiting for the hanger fairy to magically send them to the washing/ironing area...and he can never find the stuff he needs without wifey's help. What to do? You win some and you lose some!
DH likes to just take off his clothings and pants (with wallets, car key etc all in pockets) and leave it in the MIDDLE of the room/pathway, simply refused to hang up what he still wants to wear and put dirtied ones into the laundry basket (also in room) or at least, leave in a corner.
After repeated nags, I pissed.......
First strategy : I kicked all under the bed.....and when he couldn't find, he gotta hunt for them. So started behaving....but only effective until he started taking out the stuff from pockets first.
Second strategy : DH hates to waste resources esp. water. So next I pick up ALL clothings on the floor and have them washed. After a few wash, good boy liao....cos' he heartache unnecessary washing of his pants which he wears 2-3 times before he washes them :rotflmao: -
Dunno what’s wrong with me the last couple of days…keep thinking about whether I should return to work…

any particular reason?
how long have you been sahm?
sometimes i think about that too, mostly when i didn't have time to eat my lunch peacefully, then i think of the times i used to have a great time chatting and eating with colleagues last time.

I too have been contemplating for a while. Am sick & tired of facing maid, FIL & MIL.
The outside world is not attracting me, but the inside world is definitely driving me out. -

Thank you. Very nice of you. Just ferried MIL to work, hiding in car dun want to go home. Maid dunno xiao what, just tell her nicely wait till we are out, nobody walking around then mop floor also give me black face. I know she want to finish quickly & talk on phone while I'm out, cos I have not exposed her. I dread to go home see her stupid face. Anyway, her loan fully paid last month, so I'm getting ready for her to come up with new
tricks plus her son every few days SMS asking her to call home. I am not
going to be conned to fork out more $.
Haha, so much complaints, look like I'm still 不爽. -

Glad to know that I'm not the only one! I've been a SAHM on and off since 2006 for a total of about 3.5 years. The most recent stint started with the birth of DS3 in Jan.MummyThreeStreams:

I'm generally happy at home. Of course, will get stressed when handling the kids, but nothing out of the ordinary. Every once in awhile, I'll start strategizing my return to full-time work. But I was not that happy when I was working full-time. Too many things to juggle. Part-time was not that bad, but would still not leave me that much time with the family. So I don't know why I think about it!! Maybe I feel like I was robbed of my promotion and I want to go claim it?? But why does that matter anymore? I would have to work crazy hours to get back to where I left off. So, I think I'm being a bit silly... :siao: -

MummyThreeStreams & Kabalevsky.. I've been SAHM since forever since i last counted.
Naah.. mebbe like 8 or 9 years, if i counted correctly. :idea: I've been wanting to go back to work for a few years now.. but i too get flexibility to work out some assignments from home and stuff so not too bored. I also make time to get out and meet people, adults preferably.. .. girlfrens mostly, sometimes brothers or mumsie and daddie as well. My girls are at a nice age where we can talk about many things under the sun and i like that too. I miss working. I not only like what i do.. i LOVE what i do! :please: Not so much the people sometimes but that cannot be helped can it? :roll: Only once i get to hand-pick my staff was i happpy cos i knew what kind of talent i wanted to work alongside me and the centre really boomed i tell you. All the training hours were worth it.. all the staff were happy working with one another (we cover everyone's back) 
... the parents had zero complains and best of all, ALL the students benefitted from a fantastic working environment! :celebrate: One without any politics or juvenile back-stabbing. In fact we helped one another with our work and most times we get to go back earlier to have more time for our families. On and off days we'd all go out for makan together or i'd order in so that we have more rest before our next lesson comes on. It helps that everyone was on the same mind frequency and work ethics that everything we did just reali gel-ed. Well.. those were the days. I like my pay too. Since i was a long term-staff, I get profit sharing and extras too. :evil: While we could have probably more than afford a condominium by now had i not stopped working, oh well.. whose to say what could've happened then uh? It's nice how it is now.. not having to get up to go to work by 8am and rush back before everyone is cranky including MIL.. dunno whether want to upset that. Plus i may have to seriously consider a maid. I have to say it again just to remind myself... it is nice now. :please: -
Hello,
Am a SAHM for 4/5 years now. Can definitely relate to your woes. Have my bouts too.
I have to say it again just to remind myself… it is nice now. – Agree with Buds!
As long as I’m staying at home, aspire to be a 小女人 with grace, like maybe Mrs Wee Kim Wee or Kate Middleton haha!
