BTW don't take it that my wife don't want to participate, due to some financial commitments we cannot afford to lose jobs..

:salute:

It takes a lot of courage for both husband and wife when it comes to have daddy stay home. My hubz always says that if only one parent were to work, it actually makes better sense for the wife to work cos she gets better tax reliefs and we would have better savings.

My wife at times ask me if i will be ever jealous if she start earning more money than me, and i always tell her i would be more than happy not only for her but for us. I don't know but i know she have what it take to be successful. BTW she is in-charge of every thing from buying kids stuff to hunting their school (she is very good at it).
Sorry too much :offtopic: .

My Hb always say he wants to be a stay at home dad so I can claim all the relief too. Lol.

I am a full time working mum whom is constantly trying to juggle in between my 3 kids. Its pretty stressful and the constant guilt. Cos night time is so precious and sometimes is impossible to spend time with all 3. I am still doing my best for them.

How much do you think about your child's future, and about how they will sustain themselves when parents are no longer with them?

Hi, I think you have posted similar question before n I believe it has been a constant worry on your mind. My greatest fear is what will happen to my 2 young children should mishap fall upon my husband n myself. I cannot bear the thought of leaving my babies behind. What will happen to them? Who is going to look after them? Will they be loved n well taken care of? I try not to think about it as my heart wrenches when I imagine them having a life without parents.

I got my husband to write a will with me. There will be guardian n co guardian. We even stated a second guardianship should first guardian n co guardian were no longer around. This is the most important n difficult decision. We had to decide who is the \"right\" person. Someone who can love my children as their own, who is willing to sacrifice their time n effort
to raise them, guide them. And this is even harder when it involves with a special need child.

I am also concern whether I will be able to leave substantial amount for the
guardians to look after my children without worrying for the cost n have my children living comfortably n that my son to continue with expensive therapies n diet. I am already grateful that they r willing to look after them n it is unfair to burden them on the finances.

Perhaps my child is different from most of the kids here. He is not hf. I am doing my best to help him and my goal is to improve his condition n that one day he is able to enter path light or mainstream. As for his future, it is just way too far to plan. I just want him to be happy.

Sorree I did not made myself clear. I was not trying to say you & wife leave the kids alone :stupid:

I mean if the cc is leaving the child alone then it is no good for them. Then they will have lots of opportunites to retreat into their world. Your idea of bringing the kids home early to play with them is good. Not easy yah, no grandparents support. Jia You !

Wamin. Ya lo very hard to get married and young age…


I mean the facts some how make some sense.

Last time when pp can get married early so lesser ASD .

Now pp very difficult to get married earlier then all asd increasing …

Wamin,


My child just turned 4. He is a moderate asd. He was non verbal, couldn’t follow simple instructions, very mild tempered, never fought with his sister, played on his own.

I noticed something was not right when he turned one. But it took me one year to convince my husband n my child was diagnosed of asd when was two ish. I took advices from others n brought him for therapies n classes but improvement was very little. I started changing his diet n it helped but not enough to make significant changes. I then started doing biomedical august last year.

Now, he is able to follow simple instructions, imitate words n putting effort to speak when he wants to eat or drink. He sings. He will play with his sister (when he is in the mood). He throws tantrums n fight with his sister over toys. I am very happy with his development. Although he is still very far behind his peers in term of "everything", I see hope. I will do my best to help him overcoming his learning disability. I sincerely wish that your son will improve. Jia you!

No worries, no harm done.
My kids have their ah gong but he like to work and not good with kids and too old to keep up with my son :).

@helplessmum3, at 25 cannot lah. Even in our age buying a home is like pain in butt, and in 25 without home, stable job bring a baby to this world is not wise.

@jme, this is constant fear all of us with special need kids feel time to time. When i think about it i want to cry but then i think again if cry will help i will cry the river so i just don't think too much about it. But yah trying my best to move to the some goal so that they can live comfortable if something happen to us (touch wood).

Faulty reasoning - it's a fact that DIAGNOSIS rates were lower in the past, all over the world, not just Singapore. You cannot conclude fromlower rates in the past that ASD rates were lower then. There are also so many changes over the past decades - environment, diet, lifestyle etc, why should parental age be pinpointed as the cause? You could as easily say that since cell phone usage has increased, or vaccination rates have increased, or diets contain increased fat, that those are the causes of ASD.
