Angeli: wow 6 yrs mean u dated him when u were 14-15? Very sweet! Actually 2006 we ROM just nice before my 23rd bday then plan for wedding in 2007 just nice after i finish my course.. 2007 I was 24.. Same age as my mum when she got married
then got pregnant shortly and gave birth before 25th bday.. Confused?
We didnt want to wait to have kids so number two came along in 2009.. Wasnt exactly planned or unplanned was like God's plan coz my son wean off thats why can get pregant.. Nature's way..
Actually we wanted four but looks like three is good enough for me! We got married then at the same time start our jobs.. Bank no money, cpf no money also managed somehow bought our own home n car.. Maybe young has advantages more energy to do part-time jobs!! I worked alot during pregnancy.. Now also work two jobs

Angelia: Im in teaching so second job is tuition. It pays me
more than my full time job so cant bear to
give it up le.. So far used up all the fees to
buy stuff for my kids.. cant stop if i wanna
save some and my tuition kids with me for couple
of years and parents expect me to commit also.. But tuition everyday very xiong and travelling takes 3hrs to n fro! Kinda crazy ah.. Sometimes i see my kids an hr a day or so
so feel guilty then start buying them toys so my place can fight with preschools.. For toys part..
I wish I can stay home and be with kids also but cannot afford.. U are lucky! Can always find a job later now that govt also encourage mothers to return to work. So u gonna get maid then will there be anyone around to supervise? Two kids can be quite tedious also... More help is always good.. I'm lucky i have MIL and her sis around so plus maid is three adults to two kids...

joanne: that's great if u can use the seats given?
regarding the maid, hmm if u getting maid in May, perhaps u can let MOM know.. then the levy will commence only then. Doesn't makes sense to pay for levy when u haven't get maid and I think it can be worked out with MOM.. If u need only in May, then u gotta pay two months extra from March..
As for car, we got second hand car so the COE isn't high..
Diamondfericia: Car seats come in different sizes, mostly by age 0-9months, 6mths-3yrs, some even 0-7yrs.. do take note of the weight limit too.. the difference is the different padding and structure for different stages.. best is when u go to the shop, do get help from the sales staff then later on u can source for second hand ones if u wish to.
Angelia: your hubby is in very niche business and a young entrepreneur... u can help him with admin matter, even marketing!

Joanne: I got my maid when my baby was two months old... so the first month my MIL and mum helped out plus I was on leave.. so wasn't so bad.. then later when we are settled we got the maid..
So u gotta see when u really need. Maybe u can wait. I'm sure there are many others available..

Joanne, I agree with Jas. Better discuss first with hubby on who is the primary caregiver i.e. parents or you or maid or others. I kind of think that it's better to let maids handle more housework stuff than babies but help you when necessary. also, it might be better to get her one month earlier than your edd so as to assimilate her into your life or world and vice versa. You might not like her at all as this kind of relationship is very subjective.
tough choices. used to have maids when I was living with my extended family. there are alot of issues to handle and sometimes it boils down to chemistry. which is also why i just couldn't bring myself to have a maid yet but might do so once #2 is out for a while.
few cents worth. all the best. let us know how it goes k?

jas & angelia, on hindsight. i think i shud have married younger cos now it's definitely more tiring to play with kids, energy wise. but then.. i doubt i was so emotionally stable then! hahaha.. still partying very hard and playing the field at the age that you folks got married.
but it's so interesting to read your stories!

Suddenly i have an idea.. Shall we have a gatherig where we exchange clothes? Like i have baby girls' clothes that are in gd condition, some even new.. We could meet up and exchange with those who are expecting girls and vice versa..Maybe applies more for second time mummies.. Like that can save money!

hi joanne, i agree its better to have a maid earlier before your edd while you still have energy to train her. I got my maid in feb and she is helping to look after my mum and taking care of housechores..really helps a lot especially when we need help with housechores. But one thing about transfer maid is, there must be a valid reason why her previous owner rejected her. Did you try to ask to speak to her previous employers to find out the real reason? Agencies always try to cover for their maids saying its the employer's fault but it may not always be the case. Usually its becos the maid herself has attitude problem. So be careful if you're really getting that transfer maid. I got a fresh maid who has worked as a maid in her country...and glad i found her cos she is already experienced with housechores and looking after kids. Just need to do simple coaching. The last thing we need now is more headaches.

Jas, not too bad an idea. But nt sure if it's a fair exchange on my part cos i usually dun buy so many stuff and not much of hand-me-downs to give at all. and at that time when i buy for my boy, i kinda made sure it's unisex-able so that I can reuse! hahaha...
i dun mind receiving hand-me-downs for bb girls tho.

Hey have anybody tried making bread while pregnant? My mum has this theory that pregnant women can't make bread rise. So far, the 4 times I tried it has been like this. So upset! I really doubt it but after 4 times, now I'm feeling it. Last night failed again.
Is it true for you too?

angelia, oh... i.e. when you bake homemade bread from scratch, you need to knead and then proof it i.e. leave it there to let the yeast work. that's when the bread "rises" and double it's volume to reach the fluffy stage that we want when we bake it.
kawaii, oh dear... so what happened? what's the diagnosis?
qing-er, really ah! so it's not just my mum! i love to bake so sometimes itchy hands want to bake something. it started from the last maternity leave... i was so bored and started baking. then got hooked. i prefer breads to cakes but just can't seemed to get it right now. even use breadmaker also fail! can u believe it?!
joanne, hehehehe.. i was just thinking about it too recently. are they identical? remember to tell us!
mrs c, so many girls now! congrats!!!! your #1 boy?
