Hey Ivy,
I do salute moms who cope with very little help. It also takes a lot of logistics to have baby at infantcare like need to instruct the teachers there about all the necessary things to do for baby on a daily basis. So u must give yourself a lot of credit for having gone so far with minimalistic help
My mom is my bb pri caregiver now and when she reaches between 18 to 20 months, will have the same arrangement as u. Will look to send her to almost full day cc and have my mom fetch her back say at 5pm.
U had to send your gal to that far cc in the first place becoz u could not get a place in a nearby one is it? Which cc is ur gal going to now. Nevermind, life is always fair in the sense that given that ur gal has to take school bus from such a young age, she will become a more "worldly" kid and not a mountain tortoise..heeee..giving the child exposure is good in the long run.
Yes, ur working hours are indeed long. During nite shots, who looks after ur gal? Are u the director? heheheee..the one that shouts cut cut cut!!
Yes, indeed, FTWM face a big challenge in work life balance and the truth is that we can never be as attentive as a full time mom. For instance, sometimes, my gal has to play with same set of toys on many many weekends when she is at her own house simply because I am too caught up with housework to change new toys for her. Such that some new toys are forever new in the cupboard ;p But the silver lining is that as we spend limited time together with our bbs, every min is made into quality time.
I stopped breastfeeding at 4 months after returning to work as workplace totally not pro-breastfeeding. Happy for u that u are a contented mom
Same here, although got a lot of dark eye rings from nite feeding, don't mind looking ugly for her loh..heeee..
Didn't know that got suicide case at ur side. Actually the way that our city is built up (high rise and mrts) leads to suicide via jumping. In Korea, its hanging. Many times, its people suffering from depression but did not get proper treatment. Lets hope our asian society can open up more such that people who need mental help can seek help and not feel its a taboo..In ah moh countries, its very normal to seek a psychiatrist when a little unwell.
Glad u moved back to TP and reduce the average age of dwellers here
Janice,
I also feel my health deteriorating and the recent full body checkup confirmed it. Lets take better care of ourselves by eating slowly...taking some time to exercise a little..U exercise?
My friend has the same complaint as u about memory and her hb who is a dr stressed that she must try to practise her memory. Meaning force herself to remember things such as ic nos and telephone nos and dates. He said that memory is something that the more we use, the better it will be and vice versa. More omega can certainly help. But just remember that when u take omegas, take both 6 (plant oil, primrose etc), and 3 (fish). Need to have a balance between them.
Dor,
I order tingkat..have tried, moms cooking (getting too exp), neo garden (portion very little and quite a bit of msg) Kim's kitchen (soup also a lot of msg) and went back to Tong Jiang Kitchen as very little msg. But Tong Jiang also delivers to toa payoh at about 4pm. I remember Neo garden delivers later at 6pm, but of course there is msg concern.
