hi gretel,
me and serena will probably meet up in Bintan. hehe
hi sue,
I was also thinking should I quit and be a SAHM after my 3 months maternity leave. But then after that, govt announced all working mum got 6 days of childcare leave. Then it made me wanna go to work, if I add childcare leave with my annual leave then I have more than 20 days of leave liao. So maybe continue to work while I still have my mum to help me to look after.

i dunno whether to laugh or cry. i told him bb clothes supposed to be handwashed jus tat we no time no resources so use washing machine. but bb's clothes r never too dirty so jus use the most delicate wash cycle.
he says 'isn't better to wash longer so cleaner?!!?!?!'
fainted.

piggydamien,
I used to work in an US based MNC. Had reached max annual leave of 20days per year, have 3 days CCL even b4 government announced it, have 3 extra holidays for new years given by company, great insurance plan that visits to PD also free, great managment that allows work from home, late of early home if needed etc.
but nothing is enough when comes to supervising and educating the kids. worse for me when i have a difficult one. whoever interested may read my blogs on my eldest son, just wanna share the experience.

Hi Sue,
Wow you got 3 kids and SAHM. Its very good of you can quit and be a SAHM. Its really not easy loh. Understand you want to be there to witness the 1st milestone your child achieve. Its gonna be tough, to work and then also to supervise and teach the kids at the same time. Well, lets see how next time, now all my time is dedicated to my son whenever I am not at work. I don't have any ME time.

piggydamien,
yaya, from shopping at Tangs for my own nice expensive clothing to now JL or Carrefour or any cheaper location for kids stuff... when was the last time I shop for myself???
Can you imagine that I'd only cut my hair once after given birth 10 mths ago and my beautician keep asking me when to visit her...
That's the life for a 3 kids' SAHM. Of course when the youngest grow older, I can start enjoying myself again... I'll endure...

sue,
read your blog. I am worried now. So worried about their studies, how they going to grow up. And I already confirm stopping at 1.
Same same here, have no time to cut my hair after give birth 11 months ago. Cannot bath longer. Initally when I was on maternity leave, I took care of my son myself, I had problem bathing because my son was crying and I am alone at home. I had break my bathing into 3 parts, come out then go back, come out then go back again.... hahahaha. Even my lunch I had to eat it 2 times. Thats why SAHM is worst than FTWM.
my biggest sacrifice is my sleep and tv. I only have time to log in to internet when I am at work. Otherwise I won't have to time.

piggydamien,
not to worry too early, anyway, different kids got different character and development. my eldest is just happens to be those can;t be bothered type and he's a little autistic (nvr confirm that but he does possess some of those behaviour).
and my biggest point for all mum, even for the smartest, independent kids, do not let them have their way too early and your basic caregiver must have authority over them. not to be kiasu parent, carefree childhood i believe but some academic discipline must also be cultivated. mine was totally let free... and is now very difficult to pull him back.
rgds bathing, i'd remembered my eldest time, i hv to on his favorite music vcd, once he glued there, then i hv to rush in bathing and out by the 3rd or 4th songs or he'll notice my non-existence. as of now, i'll have to wait till the bb is happily playing with sis (not bro though, he cannot look after bb well), then i can have a quick bath. if need to wash my hair, then hv to wait till daddy is home.

Hi fellow Mummies,
I'm a 2007 Mum, my son was born on 11 Sept 2007 and I breastfed him for 7 months whilst working full time. I would have loved to continue but supply dropped steadily. Am glad I managed to persist, as any extra day is a bonus for baby!
For those of you who stopped BF - did you find you fall sick more easily? I've been getting ill every 3 months since stopping. What amazes me is that despite the lack of sleep, fatigue, etc I never caught a cold or flu during BF. Now that I've stopped, I keep falling ill! Any tips on how to strengthen my body? Am hoping for No.2 soon...am down with a cough and sore throat AGAIN! Its frustrating...
