Hiyya buds,
LHL can't thank me though cos tho' I contributed our 4 SG kiddies, I didn't go back to work. Well, how to yah..
So far, no immense pressure leh. :skeptical: Just that I wish I had more time for them and myself. The girls are doing fine in school by my non-kiasu standard, of course (read:pass) 
and the boys are happy and healthy, growing so handsome everyday and learning new things very fast. I must keep up! *pant pant* 
You are too humble. Both your girls have excellent writing skills! From their writings, I can tell your P4 has inherited your bubbly nature
Thumbs up for raising such capable kids!buds:
It's weird, I know. Now that my kids are spending more time in schools, I should be enjoying the silence and quietness. But I am starting to miss them already... :nailbite:
A friend just asked recently how i had been..
I replied.. on bad days very noisy and tiring :frustrated: but most days are good days filled with lotsa laughter. Suffice to say, the phrase silence is golden rings true in my case. :rotflmao: -
metz:
Not confusing lah. You are one lucky mother that can still bring home money and be with the kids all day long.mummyliv:
hi mummies!
jus saw this thread and want to join in haha.. but i have read thru the thread yet...
i am a hmmmm flexible working mum cum SAHM... very confusing hor.. haha
not really with them all day long la.. just that i can stay with them in the day, coz my work involves running ard after office hrs and weekend...

but after quitting my 9-5 job, and be with them at home, i dun feel like going back to desk bound job liao... will miss them haha.. -

Please don't think SAHM as a thankless job. I'm sure your family do appreciate you very much in their own ways.I am proud to say I have a career (thankless) which is not easy....there are good times and of course there are bad times.
It is the ultimate career..bcos it gives peace of mind to the one who brings the bacon home.
Yes, there's always good and bad times regardless if we are working moms or SAHMs. Let's just appreciate what we have, treasure the good times and let go those not so good times. -
Sometimes is the frustrations that we, SAHM faced like no ME alone time… most private time for me is when I m in my bathroom…

Homemaking is indeed not easy, but it is a skill that can be learnt and refined.
I recently borrowed this book ‘The Home Experience’ by Devi Titus from the National Library. It teaches women about homemaking. It is quite a good read. I am re-reading sections of it after reading it once. -
Too much ME time also feel very lethagic. This year both kids in morning session. My house suddenly so quiet. And I don't feel like doing anything at all, even feel lazy to go gym although I finally have the entire morning to myself.
Can't explain what's wrong with me. I think I'm beginning to suffer from empty nest syndrome in the morning
Then when they're both home in the afternoon, they quarrel non stop! Aiya, too extreme a swing :frustrated: -
