Mummy Windflower - Hello

[Windflower]

ChiefKiasu, you reminded me that my girl also behaves like that. She would always suggest to her brother to have a race with her, in whatever… drinking water, eating, running to the lift to press button… but then she must be the winner. So your children’s age gap is 6 years apart?


Jedamum, I think your elder one is jealous with his didi as you might have paid more attention to your younger one since he is still quite young. For me, my girl is the one who feels jealous whenever we praise korkor or buy korkor something that he needs. May I know how old are your two children and what makes you decide to give up your job and be a SAHM?

6 and 2 yr old respectively.
RE: SAHM
if you are to make a choice of keeping your job or having a secondborn, which would you choose?
long story, anyway, it's cos i have no alternative care for my secondborn and childcare/infantcare, nannycare, maidcare are options that i will not consider. then as to if i will go back to work again, i'm not sure cos everyone at home is so used to me being at home (i used to work 7daysweek, 14hrs day during peak period) and the talk of me going back to work is usually met with strong resistance from all directions...husband, kid, ILs.

Jedamum, so your elder son is going P1 in another few months' time? You must be very excited.


Re: SAHM
Definitely I would choose to have a secondborn, nothing can be compared to cuddling your little one in your arms. Just like you, I am not opened to other alternatives in caring for my children, that explains why I gave up my job ten years ago. I would rather we struggling on a single income than missing out the precious moments with my children. You have indeed made a right choice which you would never ever regret.

Hi Windflower, your name’s quite close to mine…except I follow the sun but you follow the wind!

Thanks, sunflower. We're just like sisters :lol:, actually I chose this username based on a song called \"Windflowers\".

Windflower,


Yes, it's all very exciting....next week orientation...mad rush to buy books and such...i am looking forward to that.

I don't believe in giving just my one child everything in the world in terms of the best expensive enrichment, best toys, my love and all of my time. I believe that sharing such privileges (though may not be the best) with one more of my child will make the firstborn and me a better person. But i'll stop at 2 now.

You must have really liked the song “Windflower” to use the name. I must be a real “sua ku” to not have heard of the song before. Is it a Chinese song? If it is, I suppose it’s literally translated as “feng1 zhi1 Hua1” ?

Ha, ha… our children’s ages are quite close too…my elder girl is 1 yr older than your boy, and my younger girl is 1 yr younger than yours.

[Windflower]

Yes, I quite like the song and I like sunflowers too. Anyway it is an English song sang by Chy'i, a Chinese Taiwanese singer. Wow, your two girls' age gap is seven years apart!

[sunflower]

I’ve heard of Chy’i before but am not familiar with her English songs.


Oh yes, wide age gap between my 2 girls. Actually wanted to stop at one (was FTWM then) but my elder girl wanted a sibling. We thought can consider as she would be old enough to take care of herself and could perhaps help out with the 2nd one. :lol: As a result of having no.2, became a SAHM…

I have a few of her English albums, very nice. Even my girl also knows how to appreciate the songs. One night before she slept, she told me, \"Mummy, I want to listen to the songs 'Send In The Clowns' and 'Like A Hero'.\" :shock:

So you also gave up your job due to the 2nd child, just like jedamum. Your elder girl is so lucky to have a little sister to play with, I think she sure loves her very much.
