      Wat about curbing ur temper when dealing with ur kids? I guess as SAHMs, we will need double the patience with our kids n how do u do it?


      As for me, sometimes I will try the ignore method with my dd2 coz she simply can’t listen to me when she is wailing or throwing a tantrum.

        Had an Exasperating time with my No 2 When he's Barely 2 years Old years ago ....


        It's Past his bed time of 9pm plus, and he wants to Drink Red Bull (curtesy of my DH, Who Playfully let him had a few sips earlier in the evening ....)
        Obviously I refuse to let him drink. He just cry and cry Non-Stop ....
        from 10 plus to past 12 midnite!
        Finally dh Could not stand it anymore, Drove him to the Nearest Petrol Station, and Got Him his Red Bull ....
        Only then he Stopped Crying ....

        My Boy is Really Pretty Stubborn when young .... :roll: :roll:

              Hi mummies


              Me SAHM for exactly 8.5 years!
              My longest period on the same job so far 😉

              Hi mummies,
              My 'longest' and the same job so far...11 years.
              Hubby said I'm un-employable because I would have to maximize annual leave for kids' CA1/SA1/SA2, dentist appt and now hubby's frequent doc reviews at SNEC. Next year worse, PSLE.

              I wish my hubby thinks i am unemployable. I was an art teacher for many yrs and so I said maybe next time I will teach small groups from home. He immediately helped me plan to teach baking class, art class, etc etc......and even start some online store......Zzzzzzzzzzz......... :imdrowning:

                I agree. It can be really testing at times for SAHMs. I have no helper and DS (Pri 2) goes to after-sch care because at home, there is no way he can do his homework. DD (22mths) is very active and sticks to me like glue. Since born, she also doesn't like sleeping so everyday, I spend 2 hours each to make her nap once in the day and sleep at night. DS is very sensible but at times I get frustrated at his carelessness. Always felt so bad after and I hope I will get the hang of things soon.

                      My dd2 is equally the same, very attached to me. Ppl used to say that girls are easier to take care as they are not as active compared to boys but this doesn't apply to my dd2. She is now started crawling everywhere n began to stand with support fr sofa or table in order to reach out for things. She will wail non-stop if I leave her alone in the rocker or on the floor. I hv no choice but to carry her with me while doing household chores.

                      As for my dd1, needed to nag at her numerously everyday. Especially her eating habit really get into my nerves. She takes more than 30 mins to complete her meal. My MIL always complain to my hb or directly tell me off if my dd1 is chewing her food when she called. Her senseless remarks sometime really exasperated me.

                      No easy to be SAHM nowadays. My mum used to say that women now are much more tougher than her generation due to multiple responsibilities.
