No worries, you will still be running around as a SAHM. Running around malls and stores for offers and discounts.dorisp:
I am also out of action for 6 years. Thought of finding a job when DS goes P1 but am afraid it could be difficult to find a suitable one ............. :sad:
Dun worry dorisp, i am sure you will be able to find a suitable one when the times come...
As singapore goverment always welcome SAHM to come back to the workforce...
I actually on the opp... thinking to becoming SAHM when DS1 goes to P1 lor... :? but i am the running around type so not sure whether can get used to just staying a home and face 4 walls when the kids are at school lor :scratchhead: -

I totally understand...I usually get home in the evenings and handle my housework too...Its usually a mad rush...Im always exhausted too..in fact, thats the reason Im looking for alternatives. Yes as we get older we are no longer as energetic as before...Hang in there babe! :rahrah:[/quote]LadyinBlack, it is tough on FTWM. Afterall, looking at the smile and laughter of our DS / DD, will always brightens our evening up. Especially when they suddenly come out with words or praise or attempt to help in our daily chores.
hi, i was really hoping that i can do away with maid since she gone home last friday but my body did not allow me... I like the idea that the kids will be more independent when there is no maid as during the maids period, the kids will always order the maid around to help them with the chores even though i have told them that the maid is not there to do these for them...crystalbelle:
[quote=\"LadyInBlack\"]Good morning everyone! its midweek!!!
crystalbelle: hope you are well! hang in there okay..I dun have a maid either...Im usually running around non stop..n yes I have trained my children to handle a lot on their own..but I end up still nagging...but I hope all of it will pay off some day! cos my mum trained me from young..n after a certain age, and when the need arose, i believe i just surprised her as i was her pillar of support when her mum was unwell and she had to care for her. I believe someday all of our efforts for our children will pay off..just a matter of time. Take care dearie!
But to do the mopping and cleaning after a long day at work which i usually get back around 8p.m... it is really hard for my old bones so i had to again submit to the ideas of getting a maid even though i know how different these maid are compare to few years ago...
:faint: :faint: :faint:
flu bugs are still with me... cant take MC even though the doc have issue as have big meeting this whole week... :imdrowning:
It is the family love to really keep FTWM going and encouraging. -

Could it be due to global warming that the full month can stay much longer??
I saw the moon this morning, and indeed it is so round and bright...WCW:
Good morning everyone
Did u c the moon last night? It was so round and bright
thought 15th is on Monday :?
Or the lunar calendar had been miscalculated?? -
crystalbelle:
Yup, my DS seems to be an \"issue\" child.. Always need lots of reason... tried sometime to reason out with him but he always will then make sure you do what you reason out with...,
Yikes!! am i that obvious??? yes my children argue all the time!! I end up talking and talking to them. Sometimes talk to both boys at the same time, sometimes I talk to them separately. I have issues with my 2nd child..guess its the middle child syndrome!LadyInBlack:
[quote=\"crystalbelle\"]Hi Ladyinblack,
are you a teacher ? You have 3 kidos huh? Do they fight with each other ? How do you usually resolve issue with the boys ?
sorry for the loads of question in this early hours...[/quote]Crystalbelle, LadyinBlack,
Look at the bright side, would the term and label of issues child and problem child a result of comparison among siblings? As every child is different, believe they all appreciate what we parents had done for them.
Hope it brings a new perspective to you. -

I strongly agree and second to your statement \"if I say I would punish, I would\". For me, DH is the devil at home. So when he say it, he mean it. Which is why I had no power (being angel)..similarly when it comes to reward. Got to provide them if deem fit.Hahah..well i believe we should keep our promises..so what i do and say complement each other..so my children know that if i say i would punish them i would! its tiring each day to handle all that they throw at me...but its worth it. Im sure you feel the same! :
N yes the moon was simply gorgeous! -

Dorisp, agree with you. Our parents and PIL can be a pain in the butt when we are teaching our DS / DD when they are in a wrong.Sometimes I am close to breaking down when DS is naughty plus the presence of grandma that is not the least helping with the situation......... :gloomy:
Comforting to be here that we all face almost similar problems together..........

yes...it works both ways..punishments and rewards...thats why I dont believe in empty promises. I just have to do what I say...but its good cos kids know that you mean it and will trust you. Of course there will always be times when you cant keep promises like if the rain comes down when I had promised an evening time at the playground and I have to explain that some things are just beyond my control and perhaps they could play at the playground another day..and usually I will remind them the next time they do go to the playground that its for the day they missed...I guess theres so much about parenting...and its really on-the-job training and learning. after all every child is different and different strategies work with different children. I also learnt that each child responds different with different love language. so it works if you know what love language is strong with your children..and to use it to your advantage.

KS parents:
This is the toughest to handle i feel. handling our children is easier compared to handling our parents and PIL. Ive always had them interfering in my style of discipline...I used to get maaaad at them...but Ive learnt to ignore PIL (cos no point explaining to them) and explained to my parents. however, ive realised over time that when they do see the way my children behave and handle situations..they know that it was eventually the groundwork done by me..so they stop questioning all tat i do...but ignorance is bliss... just gotta keep ignoring all those comments.
Dorisp, agree with you. Our parents and PIL can be a pain in the butt when we are teaching our DS / DD when they are in a wrong.dorisp:
