        Welcome PinkiePirate! I don't work anywhere near Raffles Place!


        By the way 2ppaamm, how did the New Year Gathering go. What did you cook?
        Hakka Yong Tau Foo steamboat style. Nice change from the usual kind of new year food. Thanks for remembering!

          All home made items, I'm sure! Sounds delicious. And for dessert?

            2ppaamm: Hakka yong tau foo sounds wonderful… a lot of work to stuff all the veggies?

                  As a new mum (my son is 13.5 months), I’d be interested to hear from all the experienced mums here about how they deal with being a FTWM, how they manage to handle the baby (or children) and the hubby and the household, pets, etc.


                  I work as a professional. I have no maid at the moment (no plans to get one) so sometimes my house and my cars are left dirty (esp. since there is a large condo being constructed right in front of my house). Between hubby and I, I am definitely the one who ‘takes charge’ of the household - I make sure the bills are paid (because hubby always forgets!), I keep track of what is running low (toiletries, petfood, etc.) and various appointments (baby’s checkups, people’s birthdays, etc.). I also ‘take charge’ of my son’s education/entertainment - I plan and carry out his Shichida home practice every night plus I do all the ‘research’ on all the interesting stuff that’s available for him (that’s how I ended up in KSP forum!). I try to have some time for myself too, but this is considered low priority. I have to sacrifice some things - like preparing homecooked dinner for the family every night - I love cooking but since my son came along, I can count my kitchen visits on my two hands.

                  No complaints at all. Still, sometimes I wish that I could put it on auto-pilot and put my feet up.

                  How do you all do it?

                    lovekidsverymuch: how wonderful that you have help! unfortunately my parents are in Sydney and my ILs are in Malaysia, so it’s just hubby and I in Singapore. My mum came to visit for a while over Jan/Feb - it really made a lot of difference to have even one extra pair of helpful hands.
