i'm having one of my low moments..
i see one of the current topics is being a sahm. well, i'm temporarily one - took a leave of absence till sam turns 1. after that, the intention is to send him to ifc, or to get a helper n ferry him to mil's every am.
hubs wants me to stay home another year till he turns 2. but financially, really cannot make it. as it is, to stay home for 8 mths - i've to dig into my savings to supp h/h income. hubs doesn't earn that much.. n neither did i. we definitely had a few luxuries such as holidays, car, etc when we were both working. but now with sam n me income-less, really cmi.
hus is trying v hard. he's thinking abt cutting down office carpark, cable, etc etc to get $$ to let me stay home. but even with sacrificinf these litle things, it'll still be net zero savings. not to mention i'm really down at the tot of not being able to afford cable n a new hp n to order in pizza when i like. then.. there's future sch fees, food, doctor's fees etc. i keep telling hubs sam wun forever only drink bm. he'll need food, books, will fall sick etc. n i'm not talking abt buying him expensive toys n clothes, but he can't poss run ard naked.
other than the $$ issue, i'm quite sian of staying at home. being tied to the hse n facing sam alone all day is slowly taking its toll. guess having to pump 2.5h a day is a factor n if i stop ebm, things may get better. but there's still the fact that i'm not a household person - dislike cooking, cleaning etc. dunno how to survive.
hubs' solution is to get a helper to do the 'unsavoury' chores like washing botles n pumpsets n cleaning n cooking meals - but then $$ factor again.
and sam doesn't seem to like me. seriously, i feel he doesn't respond to me. he nvr cries when i leave him. he doesn't really calm esp quickly when i carry him when he cries (he responds to others the same). i dunno how to play with him. n he smiles at his papa n my ils n my mum n even strangers more than me.
sorry for the long grouse. guess i'm just depressed..
oh yeah, just to add that hubs doesn't want anyone else to take charge of sam. like mil will feed him porridge n no cereal/puree n use a lot of salt n soy sauce. she'll give pacifier.. i also dun like all these, but if need help, then gotta close 1 eye. besides she loves the boy n wun harm him on purpose. but dunno y hubs trusts me so much. i'm not that capable man. can't even cook, am blur 1st-time mummy.. y does he want me to stay home?

I can understand your feeling. in fact with a good helper things will definitely be a lot better i think.. but again $$ is the major issue, we still can afford one now because although i am working from home, i am still getting the same pay but my expenses goes down as i do not need things like new clothes, transportation, outside food etc..
but i can already feel the pinch as i just got my 2nd last pay today, and march 24 will be my last pay day, after that i can imagine there's no $$ coming into my bank account, instead i have to draw out 1.2k a month just to make a living.. really scary sia.. and i cannot send away my maid as she's with me for only 4 months and her contract with me is 1 year till this Oct.. plus i still need to return back to work next year Feb-Mar so that my boy can enjoy the govt subsidy when i send him to childcare.. so by then i will still need her no matter how, thus i just have to bear with it till then lor, no income still have to pay for my helper, haiz.. but of course she is doing a lot of things and for the 500 bucks we paid, it is really worth it i must say.. nowadays put baby at nanny place also cost 700 like that leh, and only 7am to 7pm, my helper still can help me with all household chores, she can cook also but now i am the one cooking lah since i work from home and have the time to do that..
my sis just shared with me about this story of a mother bringing up a kid with autism, the baby lost his smile since 18 months, i heard about that my tears drop sia.. so now i try to talk more often to Renzo, although my helper is the one looking after him during daytime, as long as i can leave my computer for a while i will play with him..
so look at the bright side jul, true that we have no income and life is not any better than a FTWM, our babies do get a lot of our time and attention and love so it is worth sacrificing.. and i am also planning to send him to infant care after he is 1 year old, at least by then we have less worries and the only problem with infant care is that they tend to fall sick easily, but all kids will go through this period de..

Jul,
understand ur feeling.
guess being a SAHM really not easy and not everyone willing to sacrify to be SAHM, myslef is one of them. I have house loan commitment on my own, my parents pocket money, saving plans that need to cont for years..just purely the above few items i need abt 1.5k a mth already. Sometimes i really salute for those mummies willing to put aside personal time n income to be SAHM, sincere words from bottom of my heart!
Jul,
ur hb prefer u to take care bb cos u r mummy ma.think of the brige side, thats bcos ur hb trust u
Ur boy dont respond to u as compare to others, well, u r not alone. my boy smile, react very excited when seeing my MIl more then me too, when we bring him out, no matter how i talk to him, he will nv bother me...i used to feel very sad abt it n talk to hb saying i think my boy tot my MIL is his mummy more then me but hb told me it is not true, bb noe who is their mummy just that they r very clever always take us for granted...so now i tell u the same thing hope u feel better

SAHM isn't that bad.. i have stopped working for 2years+, but i m still giving my father pocket money, but not that much compared to the time i working and HB's paying handphone bill for him too.. i still got my own insurance to pay..
understand $ is really a issue but if u dun think of luxury like holiday or designer products, life still can carry on..
Ur HB trust u ma thats y want u to take care of Sam.. u wun want anybody u dun trust to after ur bb too right..

Re: SAHM
Same for me! it is so boring at home. I don't mind doing household chores but it will be so much better if Zachary doesn't scream cry whenever I am doing chores or out of his sight. so stressful. I also don't know anything about cooking so I went to library to borrow books on baby meal planner. Initially I was so stressed about it but so much better to have instructions to follow. =)

Hello. My situation is similar here. After baby comes out healthy, HB wants to clear all loans, so one time clear everything. Choke choke for a few months. Now back to normal and must work very hard to save up more money for my baby. All mommies jiayou!!!!
Any mommies feeding green peas to baby? It's recommended in the book. Errrr guess no fresh green peas in Singapore hor? I'll get the frozen one from NTUC.

Reira thanks. I'll check it out.
BTW, I also scare my baby will not be close to me so I insist to take care of her in the nights. Lunch time I'll rush home to see her then rush back to office. I also wake up earlier to bath my baby and my hb comes home around 7pm to bath her. It's tiring to stay awake in the office some times but must jiayou!!!!!!

i wanna share with u this...
http://lilsmurfy.blogspot.com/2008/01/letter-to-son.html
i know it's very difficult and i remember i was crying then... but hey 2 yrs down the road... he's still pretty much a koala bear
for staying at home, no comments on that coz err kekeke i think i mentioned before, i still love myself more... but i can guess why ur hb trust u so much in taking care of bb is that no matter what.. u r still the baby's mummy mah... watever wrongs or things u do poorly are never on purpose and no one else will have as much love as u have to ur baby.

smurfy, breast milk is our blood, sweat, and tears, its definitely not free indeed! How come your PIS died? Mine coming 5 yrs already.
jul, when the kids grow up, they know mummy is important. I looked after my #2 24x7 when she a baby, and later when she was 7 mths old, I went back to work, and she was super sticky my to MIL. I kept wondering where did all my effort in looking after her myself went? But now that she is almost 3 yrs old, she will come looking for me for this and that... its a phase, and it gets better, so hang in there.

I guess u also stressed up by your pumping..if u nit rest dun nit to pump every 2.5hrs..mayb 4-5times/day cos now your supply more & less stable liao so can drag longer then pump.

Jul, hug hug ok.
It seems like you need some time of your own. I always believe in that. You stay in Sengkang rite? Next time when i am clearing leave i ask you out ok?
As a FTWM, i regard work as a time of my own and even that, sometimes when i am on leave, i will view that as personal time without baby. This is to maintain my sanity. Do not think that i can be a SAHM. Guess i can be deemed to be selfish to some, but this works out best for me.
Yah, i think that babies are weird. I can be carrying my little one, but he is looking at DH and smiling at him. He totally ignores the one who is carrying him. Maybe it is just a phase. But i am just happy to have him around. He makes me talk like a crazy woman, sing and make funny sound in public.
Apr, may i know which type of the sunblock that you bought? Saw in kiddy palace that there are quite a few types, in the end i did not get it at all. Lately he has these rough red patches on his face. Not sure what is causing it. BUt i have been using the mustela cleansing gel for hair and body for him recently, don't think that it causes the rough patches right?

donkeymami, I am still pumping but its down to 4 times a day, and only 10 mins per time. Overall ss down to 300ml only. Planning to drop to 3 pumps tomorrow, and from there, should be able to stop in about 1-2 weeks time?
Looks like u can stop almost soon! I feel very sad to stop, but yet very relieved at the same time.

then change her lor. SHe's not like MIL cannot change. Since you're paying her, change. This is just the start. Next time she'll ask for more things. Why make yourself angry? Are u sure u want her to continue taking care of your bb?

Felicia: I also show my black face , heck care, this auntie know my husb since he is a small boy, so my husb will greet her nicely. They know I am the difficult person to talk to,conparing me and my husb. My husb is the qingcai person whereas I am the type will lay down instructions for the nanny to follow.
Mashy: I cannot change her, I have no alternative person. My husb strongly against infant care. He dun have fren who put theirbabies in infant care so he is skeptical abt thelevel of care and attention there.

of appetite etc.
Mashy: I cannot change her, I have no alternative person. My husb strongly against infant care. He dun have fren who put theirbabies in infant care so he is skeptical abt thelevel of care and attention there.

i heard a loud thump n rushed out of the bathroom n sam was lying facedown on the floor. i snatched him up just when he started crying n rocked him n sang n comforted him. brave boy stopped crying after 5min, but then i started crying after the immediate crisis was over n i think he was so shocked he started crying again, so i forced myself to stop crying too.
sam has a red nose like rudolph now. n a bump has developed on his forehead

Hi everyone...
how is your day today? me super tired and working very hard. sian...
1. WORKING
i thinking of quiting my job cos i have been working hard. i always reach office arnd 9.15am than leave work around 7.30-8.

3. Food
I let bb eat 2-3 meals a day.
i read a book, they suggest do not give bb milk before and after a meal. its better to have like 2hrs interval else the meal nurtitions will not be absorb well.
always give bb 70% full so it is better for their health. but i don kw how to gauge.
4. Extra job

Hi Jul,
Aiyo, you having post-natal blues? I was feeling blue earlier this year too. Then one of my relatives commented maybe I have post-natal blues. So I decided to perk myself up and go gym and do stuff that I used to do.
My bb also fell off my HIGH bed. My fault actually, few nights ago, I was sleep latching her, then too tired, dunno what happen, she slipped and fell. Cried like mad. But dunno why I was not worrried. Maybe too tired to even feel worried. My HB was the super worried one. So dun feel so bad k? Got one mummy here worse than u

Ok, finally updated my blog on Kate Spade Spree and Coach.com Spree.
Can visit http://bagacoach.blogspot.com/2010/02/pre-orders-for-coach-boutiques-kate.html
or my SMH thread http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/messages/581296/3639250.html?1267051296
by the way, anyone can teach me how to make words large and have colour at the same time? I try and try only can have one formatting at a time. Feel so dumb.

you have a very nice blog site there!
i am looking for a evening pouch for wedding dinners, still cannot decide to go for coach wristlet or LV Eva clutch.. haiz both are expensive to me since I will be a SAHM soon..
you are referring to html code right? thought in blogspot you don't have to do that manually?
if you are talking about this forum you want to do that, i noticed we cannot do it in every thread but not sure what is the reason still...
