[quote=\"panickymum\"]My dd having terrible stomache ! So worry for her today . Science is not always on her side !

Oh dear! :scared: is it due to anxiety ? Hope she is able to concentrate on the paper. :hugs:

It may be due to anxiety...my son had stomach ache last Friday before his Math. He applied medicated oil. Our poor kids had gone through a lot this year.[/quote]My boy also stomach ache for yesterday & today. Applied medicated oil & go to school. By 10am, everything will be over. Just reward them with a nice lunch for their hard work.

Am a FTWM too!

Don't be stressed. Go celebrate that it's finally over!!!

I've been on leave too. DD & I are actually a little sad that this is over. She loves the pampering & i'm so going to miss spending so much time with her.

My hubby has been on leave for the past 9 days...giving son that moral support. He has either been the driver fetching son for those intensive lessons before the first paper or coaching younger one so that she doesn't disturb 'gor gor' while he revises. It's only today he gets to enjoy before going back to work.
I just asked him when will he be applying leave again :evil:

am so not looking forward to going back to work!!!
YES!!! Moral support. That's also why I took leave.

As a FTWM, I has been taking half take leave for the last 2 weeks to coach my DS and today is his last paper, hope he can score in his fav subject.

But now I am stressed about how many points he can get for T-score.
He is week in CL & EL..

Dear fellow FTWMs ,
Big sigh of relief after tomorrow's HCL paper. :rahrah: Rearranging my work schedule to be home for DD these few weeks really had many benefits - but after this.. gotta Chiong my own work !!

Yes, take a break first. Worry about T score later.

Ya its last paper for my DS today ... He was beaming from ear to ear since yesterday and I have to constantly remind him that he has 1 more paper today and no slacking until paper is handed up by 10+... It has been a \"long\" year for me....nagging, scolding, \"canning\" pushing....it's ironical that i feel \"empty\" after the exam. Next its the result....

HAHA... you are right

I do believe there are some DCs who will be sitting for their HMT papers. Please 'refrain' from posting all the celebration notes, if you can...my DS has to 'tahan' for one more day. he loves Chinese but will have to give full concentration for one more day.


:thankyou:

Since Jan 2012, I have nagged, screamed, shouted, scolded, rewarded, motivated my son. Everything to get him to wake up for the most important exam at the end of 6 years of primary school.


I lost count of the number of times I had tension headaches and panic attacks. It had been very frustrating. I warned him many times that I was prepared to withdraw him from all the resources and give them to his sister if he doesn’t cooperate. It was only in Sep that he started to wake up from his dreams that PSLE was drawing nearer.
This year, hubby & I tightened our belts but I am willing to make that sacrifice since it is for knowledge. After all, I do not need to buy bed sheets, clothes & make up.

Dear mommies and daddies in this forum, achieving high scores in PSLE does not necessarily guarantee success in life. We need to love our DC as they are not according to their academic excellences. I'm not resigning to fate but I do strongly believe each child has their learning ability and the pace they are able to manage learning. Lets treasure our DC and walk this path of life together. Really uncalled for comparison and hurting remarks will leave indelible marks in our DC nurturing days.
