Supplements aren't always as safe as they claim. At the end of the day, like Evelly said, Nuskin is like an MLM company, so it's better to seek the advice of people who have tried TRA before but who aren't selling it. That way you can get a more balanced perspective :)

Mm.. due to lack of practice or confidence maybe? Have you consulted a PD?

That's terrible!! Secondhand smoke is much more dangerous than firsthand smoke. Please tell them to spare a thought for your baby. Nothing wrong with smoking - it's your own body anyway - but not in front of the baby. Maybe you can show them some statistics about the dangers of putting infants...

Hmm. How old is your son and what kind of trivial things are you talking about?

Depends on what poison you want to pick. Are you a diet, exercise or supplements person?

Call me cynical but I don't think anything can replace the presence of a real human teacher. Often times children learn best when they establish a human relationship with their teachers. Just my two cents worth. I still believe for convenience sake online tutoring may be worth a try though!

After maternity leave, my son was in infant care for a little more than a year. My mother-in-law retired after that so could take care of him. Even though I try my best to trust the people there, it's always better to keep the responsibility of care within the family.

My 3-yr-old boy used to be in infant care for a short period. Not much changes except he slept better at night and more regularly also.. because I think he refused to / couldn't nap in the care centre. Probably feeling scared or not used to new environment.

I tried a home-based cupping therapist in Bedok, she helped me lose a lot of my post-pregnancy fats, and used to be very cheap. Not sure about now. They recently moved to Holland V.

Folic acid, which is readily available in citrus fruits. Like sane said, just eat in moderation since you don't need a lot of calories during first trimester. :)

Agreed about the slimming pills part. They really do rebound once you stop. Spent 2k plus on TRA before so I know. My friend saw success with TRA though, so I suppose everyone's bodies are different. Guess you can only tell once they stop using the supplements. I finished a course of TCM...

I'd be wary of slimming centers/pills that burn fat too quickly via chemical methods. But I will say that some women really do need that external help with weight loss, especially if their fat has become stubborn over the years (speaking from personal experience!). After some time you realise...

That's the most depressing thing I've read all night but I know for a fact it's true. Long working hours and stressful corporate environments really give your S/O more opportunities (and incentive) to cheat. Simplicity is the best sometimes

OMGG troublewife I totally understand how you feel. At the end of the day a marriage shouldn't be kept intact by constant surveillance and what not. Really stresses you out. I think it's best to do what you can control -- try to boost your confidence so you won't feel like you lose out to the...

Gave up on hiring a maid! In the end in the amount of time I took to teach her/enforce on how to do a chore, I could have done it myself twice or thrice. Now I just get my kids to help with the basic chores as they should :)
