Club SAHM

[Sweet Joy]

Homemaking is indeed not easy, but it is a skill that can be learnt and refined.


I recently borrowed this book ‘The Home Experience’ by Devi Titus from the National Library. It teaches women about homemaking. It is quite a good read. I am re-reading sections of it after reading it once.

Too much ME time also feel very lethagic. This year both kids in morning session. My house suddenly so quiet. And I don't feel like doing anything at all, even feel lazy to go gym although I finally have the entire morning to myself.

Can't explain what's wrong with me. I think I'm beginning to suffer from empty nest syndrome in the morning

Then when they're both home in the afternoon, they quarrel non stop! Aiya, too extreme a swing :frustrated:

My job also doesn't require nice clothing but I try to dress well to make myself happy. I squeeze time to go shopping

This year so busy…weekdays are gone, weekends also burnt…before I get to enjoy weekend, it is already Sunday. So can forget the idea of visiting them. I don’t even have a life now…so don’t need any problematic ones to make things more miserable.


If hubby wants to visit his parents, by all means go ahead. I need a happy drug now.

Vinegar, you must make time for yourself and be happy. Marriage and parenthood is a marathon, you need time to recover and recuperate.

This year, I find life so depressing...no life at all. Stuck at home all week bcos of housework. Can't go out bcos stores do not open till 11am and I have to be home before kids do. Weekends, tuition and getting homework done.


No chance to go out...even if I do, will end up in popular bookshop, supermarket or children's dept. :stupid:

[vinegar]

i’m facing the same prob too…lots of ppl don’t understand the life of SAHM.They thought it is pretty easy.


If i am out in the morning,I also hv to rush home by 11am to get the lunch done,b4 picking up kids.Frds said i’ve poor time mgmt,but they don’t understand…coz they don’t cook n they’ve maids/mother/MIL to help out. I am totally alone.

Tried hire PT maids few times,but they can’t come early in morning n leave b4 i nid to be put to pick my kids.Nowadays,PT maid also give prob as FT maid.Encountered one China PRC PT maid who spit on basin after she has washed the basin.
