Thanks for the warm welcome one and all.


Big Devil - the INLAWS thread is wow…always thought I was alone. I went through some stuff during my confinement. We still had my old place to move to, now no choice, sold it and need to move back with MIL. I am TERRIFIED as experience from confinement has never gone away…despite the fact that baby is already going on 15mths.

Hi,


Anyone with feedback on the two centres? I am caught in a super tight situation. I have a 14.5mth old and I will be moving from the West to Bedok area by end March. Need to find infant care and eventual childcare for her eventually. Smartz is convenient as it’s within walking distance from the temporary home I am in but takes in only 18mths up.

Spoke to a few centres and it seems MCYS does take in appeals. Price strapped so the few places which quoted me were still very hefty in terms of fees.

Thanks for feedback.

Hi all,


I know thread is almost a year old but take heart that many out there have gone through this and survived. I know, I went through the same situation in 2002 and though have not in my own opinion gotten rid of ALL the baggge a divorce brings, have moved on.

I went through a separation with the ex, lost my father during the long drawn process which went beyond 3 years, met my husband during this period and now am remarried with a 14 mth old. We finally wrapped up the matrimonial homes issues from the divorce this month and though the future is a little unknown as I will have to move to MIL’s home in 3 weeks, I just feel like a burden has been lifted off my shoulders. Yes, I may have been a ‘tai tai’ if I had stayed on in marriage 1 and not worry about struggling financially like I am now but I have a new life with my hubby and baby. He is a doting hands on dad who helps me along the parenting journey.

I still carry the scars from the past but without family and friends who stood by me, I would not have gotten so far on. Talk it out, cry it out, live life - it does help. Take care now!

Hi,


Stumbled across your forum and was also recommended by friends to log on. I am a working mom to a 14 1/2 month girl, facing a transition of moving back to MIL’s for a while and desperately looking for affordable infant/child care services, which is what led me to your site.

Looking forward to learning more.
