All About Life Without Maids

Shoe:
agree in general...but sometimes it's no good for a young child to get infections consecutively because the body didn't have time to recover before it gets infected again. Babies are especially susceptible because their immune system has not built up yet, and infant care allows babies to mix around. So it just takes 1 irresponsible parent to put 1 baby with runny nose, and the rest will get it easily.Actually, germs may not be a bad thing, so infant care may not be a bad thing either.
Just sharing a link...

so in general, the parent has to monitor whether the child falls sick frequently at infant care or child care. -
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.
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! -
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
...Just so there are ppl to watch the baby. Will move out again soon. -
