Hello!
Today thread still ok. Not running so fast that I cant be able to catch hahaah.
Hmm topic about housing? Job? Recession?
Now recession started liao I believe after hearing and watching news etc. I guess now is not a wise idea to change job esp year end getting some bonus for some of you.
Cactus,
No matter living in what housing, still home sweet home for both and ur kids. If you can afford to SAHM why not do so and make the time for your kid which is precious. If your man & family is supportive, i think wont be an issue. But sometime been a SAHM also not easy (talking from my own experience) You have to be 24/7, stress, less $, no annual or sick leave
Stress becos of all nonsense from kids hahah. Stress cos need to manage financially carefully ( I think wont be an issue for you). My HB is not earning alot but able to substain monthly and once awhile indulge. I guess after having kids, can have time with each other very good liao phew. I am staying in HDB 5 room. After 5yrs of paying off, realise downgrade will be better to enjoy more of the rebates
and can make fully use to the $$$ in other stuffs. Maybe if interest you find those resales flats that are bigger rooms and reno as much as you like. THe effect could be alot better than landed bah.

oh veniz,
can i trouble you get the desitin creamy for me please?? i dun mind picking them up at a location of your convenience... i can arrow my hubby to do it for me!! ahah..
byt the way, the babies need to use desitin cream till what age ah? that time during our first meet up i got 2 tubes, subsequently i got the smaller and more expensive tubes off the shelevs in pharmacies..think i bought n used at least 4 tubs so far and counting!! so expensive leh! but gwenneth really have a smooth ass lah... so i credit it to desitin.
if i have to use them right till she stop using diapers...then thats a long way and i see a lot of $$$ flying.

Hey ladies, I just read tinyfeet's post. I'm sorry if my posts have caused ruffled feathers on this forum. I didn't mean it. I didnt think how certain things will sound when I put it across on this forum. Please accept my deepest apologies. It's just my character to be very frank and open in what I type. actually, I've only started having more time to spend on this forum because I'm starting to have a more hands off role at home vis-a-vis the caring of my son in preparation for my return to work next week. My mom advised me to spend less time with him so that he will take the separation better. Anyway, I hope you believe that my posts did not mean any harm and did not mean to upset anyone.

ya man, a lot of the repayment went to interest. damn sian. now my plan is to accumulate more cpf then try to clear a portion of the loan. then restructure house loan for a shorter repayment period. poor ppl just have to think far far ahead.. cannot afford to make too many costly mistakes along the way.
no money v fan, too much money oso fan.

tinyfeet, my 3 year old nephew is still using desitin cream. The blue one. But I'm told the purple one is stronger. I'm presently using the blue one for less serious redness. Didn't need to use the blue one for more than 2 days in a row before the redness went away. I normally use Avent's bottom balm because it is nicer smelling and it doesn't have any chemicals. I feel that desitin is too strong. I've purple one on stand by but didn' tneed to use it yet.

babycupid,
Same leh. I also got think about it...but calculate liao, like the same leh.

hey mummies, funny how Cactus can find rocking her own sleepy baby to sleep boring? Anyone can enlighten me? I find sleeping time is the best time to bond.
Cactus, i've been married for 10yrs & I went for marriage counselling also. We were told that it's not necessary we have to leave the house most of the time so that we can have some "couple time". Even spending 15mins everyday after bb falls asleep is gd enuff to communicate too. It's a matter of whether u r willing to communicate @ home. For my case, everynite after my boy falls asleep @ 9pm in our room, we will watch TV programs together in the living rm & chat until we r ready to sleep.
It's quite sad that your material gains come b4 your child's well being cos u mentioned that your loving DH gave u green lite to b a SAHM but now u said your DH will have to slog to pay the mortgage & in order for u to fulfil your promise to your DH, u would rather compromise your son's development. Sad.....
My advice to u now is that u better not try for a 2nd child so soon cos he/she will also end up wif your parents & maid/s too cos u need to go for drinks & movies wif DH. I seriously wonder how much time do u & your DH actually spend bonding wif your baby now. From a psychologist's point of view, making the bb feel loved & secured is better than providing abundant material stuff. ^_^ Another of my humble opinion.

"It's just that I let my maid rock him to sleep cos I find that part really boring. no point rocking a sleepy baby to sleep EVERY time. My back and arms ache from bringing him on morning walks."
<font color="aa00aa">i wk a 5-days work wk like u, 9-6pm, & i believe my job is equally impt as yours in contributing to the organisation tat we r respectively in. however, what makes us differ is tat while i recognise tat spouse r impt to us, so are our bbs!
i personally dun find rocking my bb to sleep a BORING JOB. In fact, i make it a pt to rush hm from wk daily to spend watever lil time i ve wif her & make sure I ROCK her to sleep DAILY b4 i attend to my wk or give more attn to my hb. i wan to be the last person she is looking at for the day as she falls asleep in my arms.
my ger has grew & in the process of carrying her / rocking her, i may ve now over-strained myself resulting in chest pains! but i m not complaining & it is not my bb's fault cos i m the one who INSIST on carrying & rocking her! and in doing so, i derive pleasure from seeing her grow up, smile, laugh & play wif me! all these i would not trade in for anything in the world.</font>

Rocking/Patting bb to sleep
I, too, like to go thru the process..
cos always find them very peaceful and it helps me to relax fm a tiring day as I can slowly whisper into her ears... saying mummy and daddy love you always.. and give lots of kisses to my gal..
Personally, I don't it boring but rewarding..

ehem.. from a SAHM n working mummy POV - if u work full time outside, u may find every moment is precious with ur little one.
fm SAHM's view - spending this minute with your bb is just the same as next. so MAY BE, it's nothing special to some people.
fm my personal experience, i do find it taxing to pat/rock bb to slp cos i do that almost 4times a day (including naps).. of cos there are also times when i find it peaceful and satisfying to make him slp.. a bonding session like some says lor.
so what's ur take? everyone is just different la hor?

HI everyone!
Busy and only able to login now.. will go off a bit late cos hb is working some OT.
So much postings within today to catch up with.
read abt tinyfeet posting on cactus. i dunno but it remind me of a person with nick of rabbit/korea in renotalk forum, who posted on how big is her house etc etc etc, and renovation stuff how grand etc. She has been warned by the moderators but has always came back as another character. i understand tat she also appear in sgbrides as another character. No one ever know her true identity though.
Anyway refer to cactus posting on carrying baby to sleep. I agree with crystal tat rocking baby to sleep is not boring. It can be tiring yes. But i find tat when doing tat bb get more attached to me. Usually on weekdays night i be busy with sterilising bottles for next day bf sessions etc, most of the time my hb rock bb to sleep or pat him to sleep. So i find tat on weekdays my bb is not so close to me. only on weekend when i spend more time with him, then he will be more close to me.
As for the discussion on terrace house vs condo vs HDB. Personally i tink it is a matter of preference. no need to tink of upgrade if satisifed with HDB flat. like my flat for example, me and my hb love the location a lot that we do not tink of upgrading unless it is also of favourable location.
as for the pumping topic, i know articles said the more exclusive pumping, the less likely chance to get menses. However, i have also read articles tat said the pumping is to be of regular interval, and if they are not regular, e.g. today u pump at 4pm, tmr u miss 4pm. then menses will come, even if number of pumps is still a lot and exclusive too.
