Club SAHM

[Kabby]

hi mommyNg,

can understand how you feel.

i'm maidless also, and also watch my spending. But i enjoy being a SAHM, most of the time, at least.

I don't really feel bored per se. Maybe sometimes I feel frustrated having to clean up a mess for the umpteenth time, at the same spot where I told dd not to mess up, but there is never a dull moment cos there is always something to do.

Your kids are older, and I am going to reach that stage where if they're not at home I'd be at work, and for me, I actually face the necessity of going back to work, not so much for the pocket money but that I am thinking of an upgrade (to the house).

For now, cos my 3rd one is still young, I feel I need all the time I have to teach her and to be with her. I'm quite anal over certain care routines which I feel is unfair to impose on my mil or mom, or even a domestic helper. In any case, from past experience with ds1 when I was working, they (mil, helper) don't care about my instructions and just do what they wish, so I prefer to take care of the kids myself.

oh ya, :hi5: too, i don't have time for facial lei, whether I am SAHM or working! ugh...

may I reach a stage in life in future when I have time for that!

Ladies, you may do facial at home. The skincare nowadays are quite good.

Eh you say that make me :oops: I'm like the most underworked SAHM in the forum, you know.


Speaking for myself too since I currently still have a maid!! The second half of your interpretation spot-on! Trying to say we shud all give ourselves a pat on the back. Actually applies to all mummies, whether SAHM, PTWM, FTWM, tai tai mom, whatever. Just provide sppt to each other in our choices

Yes, all mummies (and daddies too) are all trying to do our best for our little ones

hi and :welcome:!

erm, when i was working, when i returned home, ds1 will require my full attention right till night time when he falls asleep. then Dh will require my attention. then i also need to prepare stuff for next day's work. so never did facial (last time i did was before wedding day!)

I tried buying mask before, and friends gave me some skincare range prdt for bday b4, end up never use, i think all expired, throw away.

then after i become SAHM in 5 yrs ago, i also find that i have no time at all to even put on a mask.

the only things i do are hurriedly trim brow, put on pore pack.

but even if put on pore pack, dd always want me to carry her, cos she is attracted to that white thing on my nose. and if I carry her, she will try to pull it off. :rotflmao:

[SAHM2KIDS]

Pore pack isn't really good. Get gel scrub better. Scrub the whole face. It's gentler to your skin and it's cleaner as it removes the dead cells. Then whatever you apply to your face will be absorbed otherwise it just a waste of time and effort.

Frequent facial at home is actually better then once a month at beauty salon. Better result, save time and money. I do not have much pocket money also so need to DIY to maintain.

i read somewhere about standing in front of a boiling kettle for steaming effect. has anyone try that before?


mine is an electric kettle, so not much steaming effect. was looking at the rice cooker last nite and looks like it is a better replacement.
