Club SAHM

Angelight:
Calling all SAHMs, how do you spend your time at home beside taking care of your kids? Me also a SAHM and want to know how other mummies use their time at home.
I don't have any free time, leh .... so there is no time other than taking care of kids, lor. -
Watch εΆεε§. Not much free time during the day. After kids asleep, chiong drama :lol:

Another SAHM reporting here. Wondering if any of you mums feel your life revolves around your kid and DH and nothing else? I feel this way alot of the time. Especially when I'm a degree holder and yet not contributing to the work economy, sometimes feel that all my years of study have gone wasted...
although I never regret sacrificing my career for my family, especially for DD, seeing her grow and achieve every milestone is a satisfaction no career can provide. But I do wish sometimes that I have some kind of career or work I can do to fulfill my self actualisation.
That's probably why I set up my blogshop...and hopefully, write my own book one day. :xedfingers: -

How long have you been a SAHM?
I've crossed my 7th year at home and hence totally immune to this thought

I quit my job to take care of my DD personally. She is 2 plus coming to 3 yo

Angelight:
Hi Angelight, I share the same feeling as you. I think there are a lot of SAHMs around like you, highly educated and had a decent job before giving it up for the family. I have an old classmates who was the top in the class all thru secondary school, and later got an MBA from an Ivy League school. In the end, she also became an SAHM after quiting her management consultant job.Another SAHM reporting here.

However, all is not wasted as according to some research, the mother's education level is the dominant factor in determining a child's achievement. So your DD is lucky to have you at home :celebrate: ! -
Hi all...
I am oso a SAHM. I was wondering how do the rest of the SAHM keep ur cool and sanity while facing ur kids at hm, after they are back from school.
Staying at hm is definitely more mind wrenching than working in the society.

i find working more stressful.
so long i take homework and schoolwork out of the picture, i keep my cool; don't we all?
-
I quite enjoy my time at home.. ..
DS still P1 so still 'honeymoon' period with regards to schoolwork. -
Hmm... wat abt in areas of discipline and behaviour!!
Seems like we, as SAHM will be more responsible for curbing and moulding them in this area.
Any experience that ur child is \"more sticky\" to u coz u are a SAHM than if u are a FTWM. :!:
