No helper on weekends, everything is DIY. Sometimes even need to double up as babysitter to look after nephews/ nieces


Housework? wait till i catch enough 'beauty sleep' wahaha :rotflmao:

Hi blue-march,


I thought you are in the most ideal situation – work PT and take care of your gal. This also enables you to return to FT work when your gal is older and independent.

Did you negotiate with your employer to convert your FT job to a PT schedule when your gal goes into P1? Or you found a PT job through agency/recruitment page? It’s rare to find PT jobs through the latter channel.

BTW, are to share which industry/trade are you in?

Yes, I agree this is the most ideal arrangement, for now. However, there are people who feel I sacrifice too much for my dd. Everyone has their priority and I must say my priority now is my dd. When she enters into her teens and do not need me this much, then I'll change my focus and go have a life. :love:

I intend to go into FT when my dd is in P3, since she'll be spending more time at school for CCA and supplementary classes. However, subject to change as it depends how she develops, her maturity and how well she copes with her school work.

I have been working PT for about 3 years and was being offered to work FT along the way. I've to decline the offer as I am not confident to juggle between family and FT work as you know, being in FT will mean more OT and I do not want to sacrifice my quality time with my dd with that extra half a month's pay check.

I got this job thru' the classified ad and must say I'm really lucky :celebrate:

Counting my blessings
