Club SAHM

Yup, I see GP only when necessary as well. We SAHMs forever thinking to save money and also dowan to trouble hubby mah. Plus if not so serious or life threatening.. not so urgent bah hor.
But hey, I hear you ladies abt men almost on the brink on death at every flu visit. Men.. :roll: The weaklings.. 
If not because I passed out in the bathroom that day, I may have never gone to see the doc. I got scolded too cos I didn't come to see him earlier when I already had signs of dizziness and imbalance. I got admitted the following time I passed out again. Bad case of anaemia. I was advised to binge. An all red-meat diet for the week if I fancy it.
Dr Charming was only a locum there. My doc friend & nurse wife migrated to NZ with his brood. Dunno when they'd be back and they sold off the clinic to another doc who also happens to be another friend. Small world. Again, i think God works in mysterious ways.
Dunno if he still practices elsewhere. But I understand he was attached with the PD dept when he was with the hospital and he raved how he loved it. He finds looking at the new born babies the most calming and therapeutic moments of his days as a doctor. -
When my DH sick,I am the one who takes care him.I make sure he has glass of water next to his bed,cook porridge for him.
When i sick,he just makes sure we still hv spare medicine b4 i see GP. :sad:
well,i \"ren min\"(admit my fate)liao.Muz hv owed him in my previous live. :roll:
in fact,my son takes care me more than my DH.He'll top up the water bottle for me.Put the little pillow behind my back,cover blanket for me.
Anyway,thks goodness i hv been healthy for past 1yrs plus.Doctor wanna earn my $$ also difficult. :boogie: -

Wife found work there.. hubby semi retired.
Long deserved break after so many years running clinic. :salute: I seconded the move as I hoped their special needs' child (whom I was teaching one to one) to get the best of what was left of her life. So, yes.. after much consideration.. it was a GREAT move. -

Exactly! My answer to him, you can try it out juz for 1 day! :imcool:piyobaby:
The most irritating and fav statement of hub - you do nothing whole day at home, why are you so tired?! :stompfeet:
haha....this one really piss off.
I don't nid their sympathy.But sometx,i hope my DH,mother or MIL could show some understandings,being sahm is not easy le.
Everyday is like a race for me.After they go school,i've to start prepare lunch n dinner(washing vege,etc),do hsework,etc.Then do marketing,unload n load the groceries,prepare meals.Rush to pick kiddo fr. school,wash soaks,serve lunch,chg clothes,send tuition/cca,etc.
told DH the most i've 15mins break n hv a cup of coffee/tea at Ya Kun. -

:hugs: Hope it's not so serious.TheAnswer:
Can SAHM have annual leave from DH too? Like say 15 days of no work?
Dream on.
To make a long story short, I am having cold war with that idiotic husband.
I wanted so much to walk out to let him manage everything at home.
Cold wars with my DH don't work. He doesn't even realize I'm angry or is unaffected by it.
When I'm angry with him, I refuse to see / visit MIL ( no mood to paste on a smile ) and don't cook his favourite food. He's still unaffected.
But I'm happier cos I do whatever I like! -
Not serious…just need to teach him a lesson.
Won’t let him go so easily…or else he won’t learn.
Mum asked me not to go back or she would have to see his black face…told her he won’t be able to last till Sunday. In fact, he waved white flag this morning but I am still fuming. -

Hi buds, lovvvve your GP.
I usually try to self medicate when I'm down with flu, no time to see doc, but bring the kids to visit doc once they are ill. DH always goes when he has the slightest symptom of flu. Always get scolded by doc whenever he learns that I've been ill for x days / week, when I finally visit doc.
I will self medicated too if I am sick. No time to wait in the clinic, and worst, need to bring kids along. I have not visit any doc for 4 yrs already.
Btw, my DH also placed his work above me and the kids. :rotflmao:
I remember when I am in the delivery room, he will stay with me until I delivered, and then, off he go back to his office. He will come back again at 7pm after he finished work. In the morning, he will visit me before he go to office and visit me after he finished work. I always disturbed him that work is more important than me n his kids. When I am pregnant with #2, I have to go for my monthly checkup myself. He did not even accompany me. Then when I delivered #2, same thing happened again. :rotflmao: -
What is it with these men? Why are we wives secondary to work?
So after getting married, work is utmost important?
I don’t visit doctor bcos it is painful to wait, besides if it is not serious, no point wasting money and time. My GP knows if I have to see him, it means my medication at home isn’t working.
My idiotic husband wants company when he visits his eye doctor for review at SNEC. I visited gynae for Pap smear myself. No need him to accompany. I also see psychiatrist alone…depression for anxiety prob.
