What are you guys' childcare arrangements after maternity leave? I'm still headaching over it..
Same as me! I oso natural curl. Up till now, I dun dare to cut my hair cos once cut without rebonding, my hair will be so messy!I trim shoulder length, just enough for me to tie my hair. I cannot take short hair cuts, got natural curl which will poof my hair and look like wearing a helmet if nvr rebond.

I'm thinking of taking NPL for 2nd half of yr to take care..my mum is not working but now she's taking care of my nephew..so dunno how it will he like also..My mum is going to help me look after, but not sure if I will bring baby home every night and bring back to my mum's in the morning... She quit her job since the job doesn't earn much, but she told me that she might need a helper... Hiring a helper is not cheap, that's my headache now.
You looking for infant care or anyone helping you to look after?
Yup..For me I really wanna spend the first few years with my kid till at least she's bigger. Working full time won't be an option for now. So now is either I go on NPL or quit. Need to think carefully..Me too. Company is reluctant to grant me no-pay leave (at most 1 - 2 months) after ML and even for part-time work they only want it to be temporary (at most 6 months). I have not approached my in-laws to even ask if they could take care of LO while I work part-time.
I don't think returning to full-time work is an option for me, I don't see the point of devoting so much time to full-time work and leave my child to the full-time care of another person… if that was the case, I would not want a child in the first place. So probably have to resign at some point in time, or transfer to another department that can support part-time work on a longer basis.

I know of many colleagues who are like that..chiong at work then go home chiong housework etc.. I don't think I want this kinda lifestyle. Will be very stressful and depressing. I guess when we decide to have kids, we have to make certain sacrifices which I'm sure will all be worth it in the end..Should share the story of my friend who had 2 boys while working full-time. Her work is the pressure cooker type, but her hubby does not want her to be a SAHM and she's passionate about her work anyway. Her boys are in her PILs' care when she is at work, but she lives with the in-laws. Every day go home after work already very tired, still must do housework after dinner to please the MIL (otherwise MIL get angry), do until 10-something then she still must clear her office work, until 3-4am then go to bed, then go to work the next day. How to spend time with the children like this? She chiong until she got infection in the right eye and nearly became blind.

Was saying tentatively give my mil to take take day time, night time being baby home den next day bring him over again.
But not sure can cope or not, coz imagine after one day of work, night time still need take care baby.. And I heard fren say first 3 years are the hardest to take care..
Still quite headache over this.
But was thinking after give birth first and see how it is like before deciding that . After all sometimes what u had planned might not really turn out the way I wanted to.
So jus relax and see how first Lo..
Maybe be more flexible is the key .

same as my family... we got a maid to handle my dad and the housework and free my mom for kids lolz .. anyway the other 2 kids already old .. one 8 years another 4 years so they are quite independent alreadyI'm gonna tender after I return from ML... It was planned from even before preggie as I needed to look for a new challenge in my career as I feel I am no longer learning much in this job. But end up with a bun in the oven so holding on for my ML benefits. Hopefully can find sth during ML ...
After ML, will be most likely my MIL look after, my hubby and SIL will be hiring a maid for my mum but the maid will predominantly look after my FIL while my MIL focus on the baby. We will want to bring the Bb back every night as we live v close to my in laws...
But again, plans are plans... Have to see how things go... In any case, backup is my mum who has given us the assurance that she will help take care of the Bb if my MIL cannot manage...
u can train her starting 3rd month ..can be done ..but if you want to bf .. still have to wake up to pump even though bb is sleeping throughI will bringing my girl home everyday as we live nearby to my parents.
Pray and hope that my girl will be able to sleep thru the night before I return to work hahaa.
I feel should bring home if I can so at least my parents get to rest at night, if not I can go stay over if my hub is not around. hehe

my experience as FTWM is it is very tiring during the 1st one year only ..thereafter it is ok already ..
i tot natural curl the more must cut short ..i too got natural curl that is why i always cut short short
she wan her son to have good night sleep lah lolz ...anyway man are known to be heavy sleeper so no diff lah lolzI know, my sis bb slept thru the night around 2mths plus I think. but different bb different pattern. ya gotta wake up at night to pump.
I think my hub will help me with night feeds so hopefully will be ok. My MIL suggest we sleep different rooms to take care of bb so we can get enough sleep. good intention la hor, but I dun wanna do that.. y should I sleep separate room with my hub...
mine is curl outward so have to cut short i beh tahan messy curly hair lolzMy natural curl is those at the roots kind, when it grows will have c shape! so cannot cut short short, will become pom pom. ended up I gotta keep long then heavy can weight down the curls if I don't rebond, or I perm lor, since already luan. hahahaha
