      I am just back from lunch. Went to childcare to bring my DS1 and DD2 out for lunch and then come back to work. I try to do this once a week to have some bonding time with them. Luckily my office and their cc is nearby.


      Hi tigger88,
      :yikes: It is a blessing to be able to work near home and kids' cc :hi5:

      As a working mum, I wish and hope that I have more time with my 3 kids and at times wish that I am working near home (Jurong West) or work part-time then I can have more time spent with them either for leisure purpose or academic purpose 😉 ....

      It's a blessing for you; 加油! :hugs: :hugs:

      Ya, it's really a blessing. Sometimes when there are emergencies at home, I can rush home from work within a short time. Or when kids are not feeling well, I can just bring them back from cc to home etc.

          Hi poppy15,
          加油! :hugs: ...It's not easy for full-time working parent especially we have to travel to and fro via the public transport! :gloomy: 🤷

          I am staying in the west and work in the central part of SG - to and fro via the EW line takes me 1 hour 5 mins from stepping out of house till step into the office. So, can be quite tiring at the end of the day :stompfeet:

                  i mean when DS begins the am session, think either P2 or P3..
                  they can help, no problem. sent DS to sch, then pick DD up.
                  or train DS to walk to & fro sch himself at a later stage 😉

                      Actually now alot of school are single session which means school starts morning regardless of level.


                      LKVM, my new office is also in central. Maybe we are near each other. I m quite near T.Pagar. Btw, do you know my colleague told me that she feels abit offended that a youngster gave up his seat for her in the bus? She is in her early fifties. So, guess we are never quite happy with things.
