        HIya All,

        I am FTWM although my boss and company are very nice to let me work from home when I am not required to be onsite or not travelling 🙂 So I love my job obviously..
        This is the reason why I love my job as well. But wondering how long this happiness will last....

            Anyone having problem with picking up your children after work? How do you cope with that?

              When my DC were in CC, I got my MIL to help. Unless you can knock off work earlier like 5.30pm, which still could be quite rush depending on the distance from work to CC/home.


              Now that both in Pri Sch, I have no choice but to get a full time maid, who will fetch them from sch, give them lunch and "supervise" them at home.

              I would rather be the one doing it, but can’t afford to quit…

                Have any FTWM ever wondered what if one day choose to be SAHM, will you choose this route? What will you do to supplement some income as SAHM?

                  Yes. Here I am. My eldest going to P1 next year, can't decide to be SAHM or send him to student care. Can't make the decision.... 😞

                    I hv plans to turn Sahm when my child move on to pri 1. Same thing - the student care is a consideration. But I hv heard many horror stories about student care being a source of bad influence. Which is why the thought of converting into Sahm.

                      For FTWM, does your DH give you pocket money? I mean monthly allowance to spend as you wish.

                        Yes. Each month he would give me a healthy sum of money. That is on top of household expenses. For household expenses, I will pay first and claim from our joint account.
