Well, its not tough and tiring at all being a SAHM, if staying with parents or parent-in-law. I took care of DS with my mum-in-law till he is 2+, before he went childcare. Whole day I had time to myself while DS in childcare previously. Went back to work because of boredom… and want more cash in CPF…


So can imagine the same if I’m SAHM now, having half day off everyday. As long as you are not facing the kids alone all by yourself all day, SAHM is quite a nice and fulfilling experience, sometime fuss over grocery shopping, cooking, maintain household accounts, pay bills, surfing Internet… More things to do but definitely much less stress and worries than working

Now as a FTWM having to look after DS @ nite every day, I occasionally take leave to recharge myself. Sometime rest/sleep somethime shopping sometime movies with hubby etc… Because it is really tiring juggling both work n family over prolong period.

Either I be SAHM or FTWM, not healthy to combine both. Am fortunate to have both hubby and parent support. Looking forward to moving near my in-law place. Less tiring and nutritious dinner to look forward to end of day.

Just sharing experiences only…

dicky, thanks for sharing.

i have to be a FTWM if i wants to maintain slightly luxury lifestyle, like 5rooms flat, a KIA Picanto car and personal grooming(facial).
my sis-in-law advised me to give up all this so i can be housewife and look after 2 kids.
i am still struggle....cos my elder son started not control by my parent-n-laws. :roll:

i feel very tired..thinking to give up my job.

The plan to stay at home for the kids is always at the back of my mind, but so far no courage to carry out yet.
Really kudos to all the SAHMs and the sacrifices they have made for the kids!

hi, constancet, thanks for sharing with me your views...M too really kudos to all the SAHMs and sacrifices they have made for the kids. i am struggle between \"sacrifices\" and \"luxury lifestyle\".
1 income is enough to survive but 2 incomes can have slightly luxury lifestyle.....

Hi, yday my boy went bk sch after 2 days MC, he says the maths test is on 25 may leh, anyone can advise whether is 18 or 25 may?

[dicky]

Ah Ha! We are in same boat leh. My first job after comeback is really stressful though good pay. Complain and relieve stress at HB, and he simply act blurr.... HB told me before, he also have stress at work, and still take care of 2 \"babies\" after work.... :oops:


HB did mentioned afterall DS only need supervision until Secondary 2 at most which is 8 years. After dat teenager time DS don't want us \"anymore\".

Reckon is all about balance. HB says cant have 2 cakes and eat it. :roll: That's why we downgrade move house, and I change to a less stressful and flexible work for less pay.

Wonder why the newspapers always feature FTWM and yet have time and energy to attend to home matters and family like SAHMs, stressing family balance. Like a piece of cake.....
