Oops! Am one of those parents who are stocking up some stationery supplies too. Hehe ...

Don't have the usual 20% discount during school holiday this round :scratchhead:

No 20% discount given this June...which is why I was reluctant to buy anything...wait till Nov/Dec for 20% and Bookfest.

Hello to all SAHM mummies,


Just created this account hoping to get to know more new friends or rather more \"parents\" to share info about our kids and their studies and others...

I have a 6 year old son and he is attending Primary 1 next year. With this in mind, I have resigned fm my \"long time service\" company to be a SAHM. Kinda have mixed feelings now...anxiously waiting to be a 100% hands-on (housewife) and a feeling of insecure. Anyway, just hope for the best !!

Hope to chat with all experiences SAHM here

Hi ladies,

Welcome to the SAHM thread.

Most of us are busy coaching kids’ in their work…some of us have kids in P6, so this thread is quieter now. Also, some primary schools have tests in Aug.
Enjoy yourselves before kids go to P1. Don’t mean to frighten you, but it’s definitely more demanding now.

I want to COMPLAIN!!!


I’ve been a sahm for the last two years, and I juggle housework with tutoring the kids. I have no helper. I have three boys, who are darlings, but they run around, scream, get into trouble and generally behave like… normal BOYS. The youngest is 2, so he needs a lot of attention and surveillance. Otherwise, he is liable to get into a lot of mischief.

My husband thinks my job is EASY. He thinks I spend my time going shopping (yeah, I go to Cold Storage to buy cheese with the baby glued to my hip. So glam) and watching DVDs (I do this ‘after work’, k, when the kids are all asleep). Sometimes, on Saturdays, when I ask him to help one child with schoolwork, he will say, ‘Maybe I should be a SAH DAD.’ I fumed and I made nasty comments about the ingratitude of SOME PEOPLE, but deep down, I wondered if he was right and that he would do a better job than I was doing. Some background: dealing with DS1 is no piece of cake. Homework time inevitably erupts into a yelling match where I go into berserker mode. Not my finest moment, I’ll admit.

Then, today, Baby was sick and couldn’t go to church, so Hubby volunteered to stay at home to look after him. I did appreciate it, and I reminded him to ‘please try and hang the clothes’.

When I returned home with the other two, I found:

1) toys all over the floor
2) dishes from breakfast not washed
3) table not wiped
4) clothes not hung

My first response was, ‘WAH LAU’. So that was his definition of being a SAHD. I’m gonna tell him, if he ever uses that line on me again, that we can’t AFFORD to have him stay at home, cos that means that we would have to employ a full-time maid AND invite him mother to help us babysit while he deals with ONE child at a time. Pooi!!! Men! Ok, SOME men! Ok, ok, it’s just MY HUSBAND!!

I will NEVER let him make me feel bad about my imperfect job as a sahm ever again!!!
