      Oppsgal,

      I know of one SAHM who will start cleaning the house vigorously when the husband is about to come home so he sees her hard at work...
      My SO step into the house only can tell whether I got do housework.. the feel on the floor, the dishes in the sink.. the cloths on the hanger..

      No need to see me doing or not.... :oops:

        Dhs rarely found that we do hard work at home.in early years i proved in Sundays.so he can see.recent years he asked me how come u can work without a nap.i think they need time to realise.cos they rarely do the chores.how they know? Once they started to participate in our daily chores they will know.after 10 years my dh started to appreciate my job.esp in kids education.

          What's SO?

          Haha...start cleaning only husband is about to come home? Sound like some employees only work hard when see boss around. :skeptical:

          For me, I prefer to do mopping and cleaning up when husband not around. Nobody to \"disturb\" me. 😂

But my kids always gave me away & told their daddy I've been busy reading manga the entire afternoon :stupid: I do report to dh what I did everyday during dinner time. If no time to read manga that day means I'm overworked that day! Chey, I need some ME time to wind down too, my ME time happens to be reading manga 😉

              Wow, you super!

              Kay, I gonna made an appointment to go for one week trial with a ladies gym I shortlisted long long ago. Just thinking of it already feel soooo tired but I seriously need to lose some weight. With advancing age, I guess my metalbolism rate slows down & I actually put on 5 kg over the last 8 months :yikes:

                Hi! I’m a Stay at Home Mummy to a boisterous 5 month old baby boy. Sometimes he tire me out so much that I tell him if he makes me so exhausted again, I’ll go to work and not take care of him anymore! It’s not easy being a stay at home mom!

                  [quote=\"smartmummy\"]My son has one hr play time everyday.but he need compulsory compter time otherwise he can't motivate to study.What to do?He cannot missed the computer hrs.He can miss the study hrs.He always thinking the quantity.I feel his quality study not enough.The timing is very difficult.3-4 study 4-5 computer 5-6 study 6-7 playground.I need to fetch my DD from school at 4pm.so I let him to see computer.otherwise he playing with fire.I just scared to let him alone without computer.In the one hr he just finish 5 pages faster and go away.Then I mark it.Then 5 I asked him to correct.Then the time run fast or he does slow.His playground time reach.Then he go to playground.His friend goes to playground at 6.I just feel cannot Teach properly.


                  1hr to play computer is too much, try to break down into 15mnts x 4. If he can't concentrate on his study for 1hr make it 45minutes but add the frequency, every 45minutes of study give a 15minutes break to play computer.

                  Hi blessed777!
                  sorry for the late reply.
                  thank you for ur suggestion.
                  Its worked for me.I completely remove computer hrs in week days.
                  I gave 15mins break every 45mins.In the 15 mins he watched videos in iphone.Then come come back to study.only weekends I gave computer time.I remove all fb games.So he has no urgent to see games.I allo him for other internet games.but thatone also I found no useful at all.[/quote]Glad to know that u Hv worked on a solution 🙂

                      I am new here. There are so many clubs in Kiasu Parents, not sure which one to join.

                      But I guess I will start off here as I am SAHM with 3 children.
                      Welcome tankly!

                        Good morning from here in England.


                        It is Mother’s Day today, and I would like to extend best wishes to mothers on this forum. I am a father, yet I know that motherhood is under-valued and under-appreciated.

                        Best wishes of the day…

                        O
