Then u had better not let him know else he'll take over the $$ management himself. (Just kidding) :rotflmao:

Oh he knows..... he just doesn't believe that it's ever going to happen :razz:

Both of u r so cute!!!

Hi sleepy, i’m exactly like you. I run the entire house. We have a joint account only so i don’t have the need to give my wife the allowance. I settle all the bills, phone and internet contracts, everything… She is very hands off when it comes to managing the house. It can get a bit stressful but what to do, she’s not very good at managing money.

Unfortunately, there are times when I question her about her spending and she has, in a temper, said that it was her money and can do with it the way she wants to. She does apologize later on but it’s still very hurtful to me…
Anyway as some of you might have read in my earlier posts (about my justifying still staying at home…i know …i know…not that i need to but a lot of pressure cos many ppl asking me what i’ll be doing with my ‘free’ time since both kids are in school…must be cos i’m a male…jury still out on that one) i have started an on-line shop selling maternity/nursing wear, childrens bed-linen and baby toys. I’m not sure if i’m allowed to post my URL here but if you are interested to know more, pls feel free to PM me and i’ll pass the URL to you.

Stayhomedadof2 ,

Just remember there's nothing to be ashame of to be a SAHD. Sometimes, due to circumstances, dad need to stay at home while mum needs to work. I think both of u have thought about it carefully before making this decision. Thumbs up for u, bravo! :please: (thumb up sign)

Thank you very much Mychildren, that brought a smile to my face and in my heart…

Welcome to our club, stayhomedadof2! I salute you cos it takes alot of courage to be a SAHD as our asian society would expect the men to be the breadwinner and the women to be the nurturer and homemaker. But I feel that both SAHM and SAHD should be given equal recognition and appreciation cos it’s never easy to give up one’s career for the sake of family, especially for the guys.

Hi stayhomedadof2,


I also salute you !!
Like what Angelight mentioned its not easy being a SAHD and from what you have posted, I gathered you have done a good job.

Your kids are blessed with a good daddy.

Also, I think your wife is a very strong and outstanding lady. I think it takes a lot of courage from both of u to agree to this arrangement.

Both of you are outstanding parents who did this all for the sake of your kids. Well done !!

It's not easy to be a SAHdad...takes lots of courage to do so.
I am sure you have a close bond with the kids. Whether it is the woman or the man who is a full time parent, it sure takes lots of compromise and sacrifices.

Be proud of yourself at all times. Do not allow anyone to dampen your decision.

Any SAHMs here having children doing PSLE next year without tuition or enrichment?

Dunno where to ask but reckon this is a possible channel - is there any quick way to mesh up hard boiled egg? I like egg mayo sandwiches but find the prep work too time consuming, particularly the meshing up of eggs. Any tips?

You can use a potato masher. If not, how about a fork?
