Hi Mums, how do you cope with 2 kids? I find myself focusing a lot of the P1 and the nursery kiddo is left to play with her masak-masak... which is kinda cute.


Can anyone share their schedule, please?

elder boy in morning session and younger in afternoon session.
morning i do my stuff (nap..lol as i wakes up at 6am and then again at 9am); noon time grocery shopping/housework; afternoon focus on elder boy; after dinner belongs to younger; after kids' bedtime belongs to husband.

Same here,but sometimes my housework get more priority than my younger dd.
We always focus on eldest as their level always higher than younger.i didn't do so much fun with my dd compare with my son.

How about pilates?
Anyone tried before?


Already very careful with my diet. Only steam dishes & porridge. Still growing sideway

Hi sleepy!
I do pilates regularly (at least once or twice a week). It's great for strengthening and shaping, and it is VERY hardwork. I love it! I see a change in my body. But don't expect to lose much weight with it. (my butt is still big, but at least it's pert!) for weight loss, as what the others have suggested you probably need to include swimming, running/walking etc. for that.

I don't think it really matters what exercise you do, as long as you exercise regularly. For SAHMs, coz we're busy and don't have long stretches of free time, it's best to integrate exercise into your routine. So, I walk at least 1.5km everyday by picking my son up from school. The Pilates studio is on the way (ok, short detour la) to the school, so I walk to pilates class, suffer for an hour, then I pick him up. Make exercise convenient!

When I was working, I would go for Pilates class at lunchtime - walk there and back (about 1- 2 km) and just grab a light lunch after. Then, instead of fighting with the mrt crowds at the end of the day, I would walk to where it wasn't so crowded. It added an extra 20-30 min to my trip home, but it made exercise much easier.

I don't need to nap coz I think exercise actually boosts my energy. But, if I don't get my exercise, I feel out of sorts. If I could have it my way, I'll work out first thing in the morning, so the buzz lasts the whole day. But my schedule doesn't permit it.

Why not start with brisk walking, then add other stuff as your energy levels rise? All the best with your exercise routine!

Friday must chiong everything to enjoy the
weekends!

Have a great Friday the 13th Janet.. :hugs:

PSLE moms' sharings and tips this year at all the
respective threads.

Hello mummies,


Anyone who is a SAHM with a maid? I wanted to get a maid but worried about all the maid issues but i really cannot cope with all the chores and taking care of both my DD and DS without any assistance from both PIL and parents.

Hi

I'm a Sahm with a maid at home . My DD is coming to two and DS coming to two month old. My current maid just arrived before my delivery and I must say she really help me a lot. She handles all household chores and cooking. While I take care of the children and marketing. Sometimes she help me handle one child when I am engage with one, and the other needs attention. I think it's only helpful if your maid is experienced. My first maid was horrible even before my second child is born, we fire her after one month.
