      yah, i also agree that germs are good, but not for such a young age. And when it happened, we feel sad that they need to eat medicine at such a tender age. Thats the reason why we decide that i should stay home just for this 2 years. Once he is ready to go school, i can go back to work. πŸ˜„


      But i truly admire those FTWM - really have the energy to take care of the kids plus cooking and doing household chores. I dont think i am up to it because even now staying at home, i feel so tired everyday. haha...weak woman! πŸ˜„

        Hi Claudine, I am a FTWM. It can be done but must be superorganised and it's also quite tiring. Hubby must also be willing to pitch in...that said, I moved in with ILs when 2nd one born πŸ˜„ ...Just so there are ppl to watch the baby. Will move out again soon.

            Ed1975, it depends on really specific circumstances really… How old are your children? Do you have any other help at home?
