      Hi sleepy,

      It's really tough for working mums...they miss out on milestones once maternity leave is over and it's back to work.
      Kids grow very fast, esp when they go to primary school. It seems not long ago my son started P1...next Jan, he will be 12 and in PSLE :scared: Where have the years go to ? We do need to slow down to smell the roses, but is it possible ?

        I know what you mean, my dd will be as tall as me by next year. Also wonder where had all the years gone to, like everything happening so quickly and even though I still remember vividly dd as a baby, she's now so giantic :rotflmao:

        As to the rat race in primary school... sometimes really 身不由己, I constantly remind myself not to be too caught up. However, my dd is the more kiasu than me. After SA1, she fired me as her tutor 😓

          Hi Ladies,

          Need to vent my frustrations a little...patience reached the max :nunchuk:

          2 kids made so much noise...older one seemed to have forgotten SA2 round the corner, sat on the chair and refused to get his tuition work done :mad: Younger one was up to her nonsense. Hubby sat in front of the damn computer...supposed to coach daughter in her Math but was glued to the chair whole day while I was attending to son. Or else he switched on the TV when daughter was supposed to learn her ting xie.
          Can't wait for Monday.

                  Hi Janet, no difference for my case. I need to work thru 7 days, no rest day worst than a maid. I was sick last week being spread by my dd2 - stomach flu. Although sick but still need to take care of my both dds. Hb either traveling or can't handle both of them.

                  Imagine not feeling well, still need to coach my dd1 on her spelling test and math hm while trying to stop dd2 from crawling all over the places :frustrated: 😢

                    Absolutely agree :hi5: SAHMs don't look forward to weekends. Not with the craziness of the kids AND hubby at home :faint:
