      I have never regreted being a SAHM too. I don't miss the office politics and back-stabbing. But I do miss the financial independence and intellectual interactions with colleagues and work associates. But there is always a price to pay for everything in life...


      Agree totally 🙂

      Now that we are on single income, personally, I would considered myself lucky that I dun have to really account for every single cent spent. Remembered the days when my MIL would hound me over my purchases, nagging over 10-50cents difference :roll: Fortunately DH assured me that time efficiency and convenience would be of higher priority, just spend wisely :boogie: So after 1+ year, MIL gave up asking me how much per KG, is it cheaper than where and where etc :evil: cos my answer is always DUNNO 😉

      DH's supportive is very important. I used to receive comments fr friends tat not everyone is able to forgo their jobs n become SAHM. There r ppls out there might need to struggle to make end meet. They keep commenting tat I am lucky...sometimes I do appreciate my hb even he didn't really lay his finger on housework. :love:

        As I type this....a little :gloomy: a little :rahrah:


        Had hired a maid to look after my FIL ~1year ago.....with her presence, there's help in household chores esp. cooking which I find I'm lousy at and it's also very time-consuming 😓 Tho I had gone maidless for 3 years before the current one, kinda got used and enjoyed the additional help 😉 However, due to FIL's illness, we will probably not require her services in 1-3 months' time..........so gotta do everything myself again :gloomy:

        On the bright side, I can now do things my way (well, maids are always an issue and normally cannot follow instructions well enough) and I do look forward to enjoying my privacy again. Soon I'll have 2 sets of problem less.......

            Yes, my mum always reminds me to appreciate hubby for bringing home the bacon by HIMSELF. It’s a tough world in the office facing the boss and colleagues (plus office politics). I can’t imagine going out to work again after being a SAHM for the past 11 years…maybe can’t even fit in at all. This ‘dinosaur’ better be put in the museum.

                    count me in! :imanangel:[/quote]Although i considered newbie to SAHM, only 4 almost 3 mth but my mentality is the same as the rest of u. By the time, my dd1 graduated fr Pri n my dd2 entering 2 P1 will be happened simultaneously. Total will be 12 yrs of being SAHM. I don't think I can able to adapt this kind of hectic n politically working environment.

                    For this reason, pls count me in if such SAHM museum being setup for us....
