Soh_WL,
Hi!
I saw my name. Thanks for the name list! -
Soh_WL - thanks for compiling the list, can see why your hubby will not let you ‘quit’, obviously you are an excellent ‘employee’!
Bronzy - I send DS to a nanny during my working hours (Mon-Fri). I fetch him home every evening after work and we will all go out for dinner. By the time we get home, it is usually close to 9 pm.
From the time we get home till we sleep, all the time is given to DS. We let him play, explore, do his home practice, etc. until he decides that he’s had enough stimulation and wants to sleep. He will crawl into my arms and ask to be latched on and all of us will go to bed. Sometimes (well, most of the time actually) DS sleeps very late - last night he slept about 1.30 am! and as a result, hubby and I also usually sleep very late, haha. -
Hmm, looks like a maid and a MIL are the answer? I have neither...
-
lovekidsverymuch: You are right, but unfortunately, the nanny only helps me to go to the office… It is those times when I’m not working in the office (ie. for home matters) that I feel a helping hand is good. Nothing gets done when I’m at work since nobody is at home… sigh. Hubby was always in favour of getting a maid but I have always opposed. Told him we can consider when we have another child. But yes, thank God for the nanny, so at least I can go to work knowing my son is being cared for.
-
lovekidsverymuch - completely agree with your wise words! that’s exactly the reason that i gave to hubs for not getting a maid. Even when we have another child, I will still wait till they’re older (can talk) before considering getting a maid. Nervous la…

It's great that you try to spend quality time with DS. How do you manage to get to work and stay awake at work after sleeping so late though?! Parents need their rest time too so don't try to overdo it or you will burn out. -
hi, happy to know there are so many FTWM here

Hi Bronzy, thanks for your concern. Yes, it’s tiring, but there’s just so much joy. I guess things will get more ‘normal’ when DS starts pre-school. cross fingers
