Nattan: same ML. so if WCC is just as concentrated, means same bah. dun drink whole can in a seating.. too cooling liao.
Cassandra: I wanna be a SAHM too.. aww.. lucky u have ur hb's mental/physical support.
don't worry abt chores and child rearing. it will come naturally
When i was SAHM for #1 for 3yrs, the only thing I had to deal with was mental stress from a screaming toddler after he turned 1yo.. haha
all the constant watching to prevent falls, dangerous cupboards, items in the mouth etc..
Babies slp most of the time. if u TBF, u have nothing to wash for bottles/fm etc.
so u mainly need to handle laundry, basic home cleaning. prioritize your things, if u can't handle everything in the day, wait till ur hb is back before doing cleaning.
if u r ok, u can buy a dryer so that u dun need to worry abt laundry. since u can put in washing machine then transfer to dryer then keep in cupboard already.
The real test comes after baby turns 1.
Enrichment
My boy started N1 in 2011, born 2008. prior to that, he nvr attended any classes. I self-taught him everything I can. Via dvd, self-created cards, whiteboard..
in 2012, we started him on BERRIES due to lack of mandrain speech skills cause our whole family speak english only.
Till now, he is only on BERRIES chinese class once a week. $$120 per mth.
We will only start him on piano in 2013 if he shows great n constant interest. I won't start him on classes to satisfy my own dreams
He attends his usual N2 daily 3hrs class in Maris Stella Kindy which will progress to K1/2.
Groovy: We are moving to Bt Panjang so that our mthly installment will be covered by HB's CPF contribution. Currently our combined salary can buy flat in HV which is across the street from our current flat. So it's considered a downgrade for us, location wise.
We are planning around 1 income. So currently all my income is being saved for rainy days in future in case nxt yr i intend to resign after CNY 2013. If these few mths we can survive on 1 income, my hb will allow me to resign. If these few mths, I fail the spending tests, then no SAHM for me..
