Glad I found this thread. I have been a SAHM since my boy was born (save for the 2 mths of notice period served to company).
I agree it is not easy, and many times my self esteem really suffered and it's worst when u have to put up with people's comments esp only mum!!! until now i dun tell my mum that I am a SAHM because she is sure to say it's a waste of my NUS education.
I appreciate how I feel like I have all the time in the world for my son and i bring him to different places sometimes, mostly for him to experience the great outdoors. I believe too many sg kids are too sheltered and deprived of outdoors time!!!
Every now n then i really wish I can have part time job but I know my son at home with him is the best for him - best physical nutrition: food breastmilk, best emotional nutrition: mama has time for him (except when cooking n cleaning... when i would shout out to him and he would come show me his trucks)... i dunno if it is the right choice for my so called career, but i know it is the best choice for my son's well being.
