      Hi, I am a SAHM and I hope to make more friends. Hopefully can meet up for some chit chat too. I live in Yishun area, any SAHM living in the same area as me?

        As I am SAHM, husband expect me to do tasks he don’t want to do sometime, if not he says I am useless.


        I think I am unappreciated at times.

          agree with you. As SAHM, I often hear remarks like:
          a. wah, you so good life, no boss to boss you around :roll:
          b. you're a tai tai mah, everyday shop and go high tea :skeptical:
          c. you so free, can run errands for anybody (esp family and in laws) :stompfeet:
          d. seriously, do you know what is happening around the world now? :frustrated: do you keep yourself updated? :roll:
          e. we are not contributing to the economy :nunchuk: :spank:

          care to add more 'remarks' ?

            A Working mother refused to be SAHM as she thinks nothing much to do at home. 🤷 For me, everyday so busy... morning do things till evening. Buy things, cook meals, wash things, teach kid, clean house, iron clothes...etc. end of the day comes very fast.

            Working life got office politics and if nothing much to do (some can use internet) or have to try to be busy, have to find things to do. If too many things to do and overload got to OT.

                    Didn't know got such club. 🆒


                    What are the stay at home/part time job suitable for SAHM? Need to pick up my boy on time from cc.

                    Being SAHM is good, but husband expects me to do tasks he don't wish to do. If don't do, he says I am useless.

                      Although the things we do seem mundane; fetching kids to and from school, marketing/cook/clean etc etc but they actually add up to a lot. At the end of the day, I look around the house before I switch off the lights and for sure, I'd exclaim (to myself) \"AIYAH! Forgot to fold the laundry or wash the soup pot etc\". Never ending tasks. And then at the back of our minds, many of us might still be thinking if it is possible to squeeze in some part time work. 🤷


                      There is nothing I ask for except that my children grow up well and that Ah Lau appreciates whatever contribution I give, home-front.

                      Maybe when DD is older and less clingy, I can resume some adhoc work. In the meantime, I guess I can only stash away some extras from the marketing money. Hehe. Just saying. 😉
