All the while I didn't know how to cook until I become SAHM


Last time, hubby is the one who cooked for us during weekends if we are tired of outside food

And the best part, hubby goes marketing My hubby is very hands on guy...
Even changing diaper or bathing son he knows it all :please:

:hi5:
I started learning how to cook baby food after I quit my job. However, after so many years, I'm still a lousy cook. Can only handle simple steam dishes. 没什么长进. Don't care, they are not allowed to complain :nunchuk:
My dh did all the cooking when we were studying overseas but I think his skill rusty after I stayed home. He only cooks a couple of times a month nowadays

Keke, my dh is very hands-on too. He bathes both our girls till they are old enough to sit upright in the tub because I'm not confident of handling 软软的 baby. And wake up for night feed, make milk, change diapers etc

But now that kids are older, he also quite eng la, only wash dishes if I cook that day, mop floor & iron once a week and accompany me to grocery shopping twice a month.

We never had a maid. I don't like the idea of a stranger in my house. Restrictively le, can't roam freely in my house scantily dressed. Although given a choice, dh would prefer one so that he doesn't need to do any chores

U are super la, lazy mum but still can brought up clever gals :salute:

Can I have some tips huh

Don't know le. I used to be pretty good in my studies too. Perhaps they just happen to inherit my 爱读书 genes

I don't coach them either. My kids complain I'm lazy because they are working hard while I get to surf the net or read manga even during their exam period. So I point to my certificates and told them I've done my part of being hardworking when I was a student. They can idle too after they obtained their Masters degree. See the light at the end of tunnel? There, end of discussion. They continue slogging in their room :rotflmao:

I think we are the same 小女人 ....

Not really le.

I have 公主病 and also 100% 大女人主义 :evil:
Perhaps only the sweet talking & 嗲part somewhat 小女人。

TheAnswer:

No la.. I think it's not about being sensitive.. I just think that my hubby should give me due respect.. Anyway my hubby won't say I only know how to sleep and shop..


He knows very well that I do more than him..

He only work, game, sleep :pokeeye:

Yes, I second waht the answer has said. It's due respect and it shd work both ways. Even begin a Sahm also need to \"work\" - doing house work is not work?

TheAnswer:

Keep the wife happy.. All will be good

this part I super agree. When I was younger, I thought this only applied to hubby and me. As in keep me happy and he would be happy too. Then after all these years, I realized some men (esp those who have been married for years or have a few kids) also subscribe to this idea.

However, I have to say it need not necessarily be expensive to keep wives happy. Expensive Gifts don't work as well as thoughtful gifts. Meticulously game plans may not touch as much as care and consideration.

Hubby has his own way to keep me happy

For me, I love handmade gifts.. Like handmade cards, bookmarks etc.. My love language includes both acts of service (that is why I am happy when hubby cooks or polishes the toilet ) and time.. So if hubby gives me material goods but no acts of service or time.. I do not feel loved at all...
I'm the kind of woman who will get a bit upset if my hubby is too busy with his work.. I need personal time (even 5 minutes is good enough for me) with him everyday.. Even if he is overseas.. A man who says that he can't spare even 5 minutes for his wife is a load of rubbish! Hubby is the type who will call or Skype my boy and I when he is overseas..

My interest in material goods is also not high.. They do not make me happy in any way (maybe can only excite me for maximum of 3 days, after that they are all the same to me)..With them, its a bonus.. Without also fine with me.. My identity does not lie with what I carry.. Which is why I always dress down unless I am going somewhere special.. I'm the type who is lazy to dress up.. I do maintain myself but I steer clear from makeup.. Hubby likes me to look natural and I like it that way too..

And hubby always finishes the dishes I cook… That alone makes me feel happy and appreciated… And those dishes include those that do not taste fantastic because I made a mistake…

I have always believed that hubbies should respect their wives as equals. Respect their opinions etc.. Open communication.. I dislike men who belittle their wives or put them down in any way.. Whether in public or at home..

when hubby appreciates the food which wives cook, that is very sweet and makes the cook feel appreciated. such husbands are gems.

my son's clothes are limited in terms of colours...tees/polo tops and jeans/shorts...but his toys cost money. with daughter, she has a lot of clothes...luckily she doesn't play with dolls and not keen in toys. a friend of mine has 2 girls and she buys nice hair clips for them...those beautiful curly Gymboree designs.

buy clothes up till 3 years old for your bb :evil:

I love to buy hair clips.. In fact any accessories on my hair
We intend to travel to USA every 2-3 years so we might not buy that much.. Patterns do change after sometime
