      i cannot have the 5mins thing to get ready for an outing when kids were younger. I need to bathe them one by one, pack alot of things, milk, hot water, water, additional sets of clothes, diapers, get them go poo poo, clear bladder etc and the last 15mins for myself to ahower and change. thinking back, I feel so easy now πŸ˜“ πŸ˜‚

      5 minutes? how to get ready to go out when kids are so young?
      with 1 kid, i can get ready if bottle feed. if breast feeding, i express...so have to give me 30 minutes extra.
      within 3 hours have to come home.

      i dont really breastfeed..only dd1 was breastfed for about 2days while still in hospital and on mixture for a very short time during confinement. then i was so worry that I dont have enough milk for her.. kept stopping and after I used so much effort expressing, she doesn't want to drink it so no point le. milk powder. for dd2, i know i need to use the confinement window period to strengthen my health/body so dont sleep with baby during the 2 months confinement. not young anymore leh.

        before son started p1, every sunday was for outings. after school started, sundays were spent on HCL and revision πŸ˜“


        then saturdays was for revision because he was in the afternoon session and nothing much can be done after school other than getting homework done. when daughter started p1, no life on weekends other than learning 听写/ι»˜ε†™ for her and revision for the older one in p5.

            pity the kids now. syllabus is so TOUGH. even dangle $5k in front of me to have #3 also NO NO :dowan:
            hearing babies cry make my hair stand.

                Janet,must be hard on you :hugs: ..try to go slow and have more patience with your dd, it is something that she will not want if she has the choice 😒 I know (and luckily) you are disciplined and patient.
