Hi CG and good morning to all moms,
Yes, agree with you that Bishan Lib is more interesting and I brought my son there few times. But as I like to get my groceries at TP, so I used TP's Lib more often. My boy is going 20 mth next week!

I havent really seen the playground but I know the children played there for outdoor activities.. the childcare centre is very popular, it seems..
The cats really have a good life there ya, sometimes I'm so afraid they'll jump onto my stroller n frightened the baby..
wow, u mean the 2 monkeys so clever.. actually crossed the road, wonder if they jaywalk or used the bridge?? hmmm...
oh ya, there's a foodcourt at the factory, is it good?? Been wanting to try there but havent had a chance..

I don't mind earlier since these 2 weeks, my girl is having school holidays.

Do you realise sometimes the world seems to see us as ALIENS for being SAHMs. Especially there is a growing trend in hiring maids and childcare centres.
Personally I feel most important my child and myself get to enjoy each single day, and I call this priceless!

I have a 4.5 months old baby, and a SAHM for a year. Had my Master in Edcation but still prefer to stay at home to take care of kid myself because I strongly believe in building strong foundation for our baby in the first 5-6 years or so. It's the best time ever to teach moral, social, language, and motor skills that you believe in, or you want your child to acquire. It's the best time too that they absorb the most. When you see what your baby accomplishes each day, it's the most fulfilling things compared to having a monetary career that allow you to miss the best moments of your child's life, like first walk, talk, teething, etc....
Don't have to feel guilty of having maid, she is there to help out, and you also can spend quality time with your bb or do your own things to take a break. I struggled too, but i believe that my bb is a blessing to me, and I want to provide my whole attention onto him before it's too late. They grow up fast, and before you know it, they will want to be with their peers and not you anymore. We all went thru that stage, didn't we? We can start our career anytime, but once we lose our kids, they will be lost...

I am a SAHM. Although I am not young (as I had my kid late), there are still many whom I met and told me I should be working instead of staying home looking after my son. More so when they know I had tertiary education. Although I left the job I loved 4 years ago, I didn't regret the decision and have been enjoying everyday spending quality time with my boy.
I absolutely love being a SAHM if i have a choice man.. unfortunately at this point of time, it's just not possible.. i'm counting down to the SAHM time.. haha.. only those who hv no kids will wonder if quitting a high paying job is worth it..
Sunny,
what's MTB?? Blk 200 is both infantcare n toddlers but they r in separate rooms. nursery n K classes is in blk 201 i think. My baby is at Blk 200 infantcare. She's doing well there n very close to her teacher. there r abt 7-8bb with 2 trs n 1 auntie. not sure if they have vacancies still, can check for u.. when r u planning to return to work?
i tried finding a nanny at my blk but dun hv.. checked out NTUC in central.. not too bad but compared to this one, i think this is nearer to me n prefer the environment. din check out SAFRA n the one at HDB Hub.
my hubby n i felt safer to leave the bb in infantcare than nanny cos we won't koe how nanny is treating her.. so far v happy with the tr who's very familiar with my bb's pattern.. she's firm n patient lor..
wher r u staying huh?

Oh ya, especially my ils have always against the idea of me being a SAHM.
Haha, maybe they feel heart-pain that my hb has to work so hard.... hee hee!
Despite my hb and I explain to them, they simply don't get the message.
And for the fact, my mil has always been a SAHM.
But because of the society, a lot of people are wondering why we choose to be SAHMs with more freedom and time, and yet we choose to give up our careers for our children.
