hehe! $500 for just makeup, bags & clothes or including allowance?
i thought allowance of $50 per week is already the norm these days.

$500 on TOP of allowance... that's alot for now.
Maybe 10+ years from now still ok.
still have to include transport, HP bills, etc... faint!!!

I also think so.. If they wanna buy things, they shd get from their allowance, or just do PT work etc. Why shd parents spoonfeed them?
Next time they will become those pple who got no control over spending & end up being bankrupt b/c of credit card debt or something.

Yeah. About the $500 in 3 months for make up/bags/clothes, my first reaction was "I dont even spend that much every 3 months!!!!!!!!". lol
Clothes: He thought a 18 years old girl need to buy expensive clothes (like $50 a piece), I told him bugis village/stress got $10 - $20 a piece. Then next he said what "what if baby wanna buy levis jeans". wa kao! Till now I still dont have levis jeans ah!!! Each cost $100 or so leh... I rather go and buy FOX jeans skirt for $20 during sales.
Bags: He donno heard from where that girls buy bags every month (not all girls tho cos he know I dont). Maybe his colleagues bah.
Make up: He said brands like MAC, bobby brown, shu uemura ect (those counter brand... not drug store brand) and might need a lots of $$ (he imagine our baby - if girl- is gonna wear make up everyday...). On the side note: I dont put make up. Once in 2 months maybe. Most I do is apply mascara and concealer. Rarely I will use eyeliner.
Lastly, he expect baby to spend a lot when going out with friends during weekend ect... still wanna give money for weekends.
Then my reaction was like "WHAT??? $500 for 3 months???" and he replied with "then $300?".
I also think that allowance is enough. Actually for my kid/s to get allowance, he/she/they will have to do housework for me inorder to get it. =) I've seen too many adults who got spoiled by their parents... some dont even bother to go work and reason is "cos daddy and mommy will give me $$$$ whenever i need".
hehe in the future, my kids will be the one doing all the housework hahaha + cooking also. Like american kids.

Yeah, the TMC staff told me that thats a good time to go for the class as my EDD is 10 Aug. Maybe the next class starts around June leh? *shrug* or they are worried by the time tummy so big, not convenient to go for class?
RE: email
haha actually hor, just reply me when i say items arrive. i a bit kiasu scared u all dont reply when the items arrive hehe. are u going for our april meet ups? I hope most of us will go then can pass the swimsuit. i think should arrive by then, now just waiting for vPOST to contact me =)
For confinement nanny, i will prolly get TMC one. more expensive ($300 more than freelance) but better i think cos TMC-trained and singaporean.

I dont think his office de girls all like that cos all work night shift de (he work night shift). I think he read from stomp or flowerpod or hardwarezone or I donno. lol Maybe cos got once he bought the bobby brown eyeliner for me for $80 (end up i dont use cos too expensive and using kate gel liner).
For mascara, like months ago I bought shu uemura de... for $30+ or $40+ cos I dont use it often and it is good... so can last longer (i think). Then for MAC, I use their concealer. like buy once a year!
come to think of it hor, maybe he is trying to hint me recently I spend too much le. Remember the day before yesterday, I spent $260 on swimsuit and victoria's secret stuffs... hahaha
For bag, I want a LV one!! +_+ But if I got it, doubt I will use it leh... like heartpain if I throw my stuffs in there and then too heavy and bag spoiled. lol So I use those brandless one now.
DolceVita
only female give up sits! mine also, both females... all the males act blind or something...

LOL ya lor! Come to think of it hor, if I really really have to go back to his parents place to stay. If we got the TMC one, then I doubt my monster-in-law is gonna say anything. Cos if she kepo want to say the nanny do things wrongly, i can just throw her with:
"this nanny is thomson medical centre parentcraft TRAINED!"
"which means she wass trained by qualified senior consultants from TMC’s Parentcraft Centre who run various types of training courses to equip care-givers with the necessary skills to confidently care for both infants and mother" (hehe copy from their webbie de)
"if there is anything that she dont know how to handle the baby, she have 24-hour access to a ParentCraft consultants"
lol then she sure shut her foul mouth up.
Ok... must check with TMC about this service.
