Hi Artist,
Coincidentally, Ryan also just had stomache flu passed on by me and had lost some weight too due to poor appetite. You are right, after a while we seem to be more "seasoned" being not overly obessive of their weight anymore as long they are well, healthy and happy...U indeed have a long maternity leave or did you had a second one after Ryan...? In anyway, i trust & hope that you wud find another side of joy too getting back to work besides gaining financial enhancement cos being full time sahm can be quite boring and depressed at times...btw, hahha...I am glad to know another mid-thirties mum cos at least i am not alone. I am putting up in the West area, how abt you ...? Keep in touch. God bless.
Jamie,
Welcome & heartwarming to have you into my mid-thirties club...heehe. Thanks for your comforting words which i agree that spending quality time with him during my stay home period is sth that money cant buy. As i watch him grow from a newborn to now 17mths is the least achievement i take pride and joy in. As a result now, honestly ryan is pretty sticky to me most times even when i have "urgent call" to toilet, he wants and enjoy to tag along too... hence i agree that one day when he outgrow bigger...he will sure say "aiyah, i dont want to follow you anymore cos chou chou..." haha. Btw, no plans for No2 cos i am already aged at 36now... abit too old for me to restart all over again and i am scared of the whole episode of preganancy Where do you stay and what do you usually do being sahm...?
Hi Violet,
Yeah, thanks for your advice... You are right. We become too stressful with all the remarks around us about our child thus i have also now learn to laugh it off cos no one knows best except his own mummy, right. Afterall, we have tried our best and each child develop differently thus i have came to accept so long he is well and healthy and happy, i am fine with it. Cos whenever he is sick... my heart ache and stresssssssssssssss. Meantime, i am hoping to so sth part-time or some small business to get going too... but at a loss what shd i do...?? Any thoughts to share abt it ? rdgs
Hi Xav,
Am i right that you are also fulltime sahm ? If you have enrolled xav in full-day cc playgroup thus does that mean lesser time to spend with him at home...? but is indeed good for him to gain better independence as compared to my ryan who is clingy to me as being only child and having me with him only most times... quite boring for him thus plan to send him for 2-3 hrs class daily for playtime... Btw, ryan had used to attend kindermusik for 4mths at 11mths old... which i personally find pretty good cos it does help to stimulate his interest in music and socialabilty.
Xav mummy, i really think i share the same sentiments as you being the only person to tend for our son cos i have no one to help me too. I dont even have a mother-in-law to care and concern for my son which usually most people have attention in this aspect but i dont hv at all. It is indeed very stressful, tired and upsetting at times on the thought of it. Thus, i could only wish for ryan's well development in all aspects so that is sth that i cud still feel my worth...You r right that we really feel rewarded when we see our child grows and develops well. U r indeed a good mummy too, so deserve a good pat !!! Btw, i am also planning to do some small business or sth that i cud still earn my keep and find my worth to keep my boredom mind at bay too...At least feeling effectively happy to keep myself more balanced. Do u have any ideas or suggestions to share...??? lets catch up.
