		<description>Hi there,I like your post.I am one of the FTWM and the one who rushed out early in the morning together with the kids. I feel so sad when I need to wake my kids up eventhough they&#039;re in slumberland :( but I tell myself I must archieve my goal to become a SAHM in 2 yrs time. Cheers!

&lt;strong&gt;I hope you achieve your goal. :)&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>Fantastic post. Your echo the thoughts of many SAHM out there, including me. Our family is our legacy. When my friends were passing out business cards, I offered to pass out diapers. Kakakaka. I love a quote by one of our church leaders that goes &quot;No success can compensate for failure in the home.&quot;

&lt;strong&gt;Thats a very good quote indeed. Thanks for sharing.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>Bravo &amp; well said. I am a FTWM but my whole life revolves around my kids. I wish i could do spend more time with them by being a SAHM but unfortunately, i can&#039;t.

&lt;strong&gt;Thats the hardest part of all. Wishing you could spend more time with them but can&#039;t. :(&lt;/strong&gt;

		<description>I must say I really admire you.

I know I can&#039;t be a stay home mum, though I wish I could at times.

IMHO, to be a SAHM, one requires self initiative and disciplines. I&#039;m a very bad with time management and self-initiate and of coz I love to procrastinate things.

It&#039;s best that I remain as who I&#039;m, a working mother at least I&#039;m obliged to get up early in the morning to get the kids up, then report to work. I like it this way.

When I have too much time in my own hands, I will become very disorganized. It&#039;s very risky...hehehe...

But I can really see that you really love what you are doing. It &#039;s inspiring, make me wish I could be one, but I have to think twice, since I lack self-organized ability.

&lt;strong&gt;Its true what you say. I&#039;m very disorganised too. However the kids&#039; schedule keep me in check. Hahaha. &lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>I totally agree with you and in fact I am proud that I am a SAHM and able to spend all my time with him watching him grow and nurture him the way I want. 

I have a friend who send her girl to nanny 5 days and 5 nights a week and only bring her back during weekends. If you ask her how did she train her child to wish good morning, she&#039;ll answer you, &quot; I don&#039;t know. My nanny taught her.&quot; She dare not even bring her to a playground coz she said she cannot manage her. She did not even feed her proper dinner during weekends coz she said her girl refuse to eat. *pengsan*

I have another friend who is a SAHM but everyday complain about her kids and her boring life. She never play with them, never plan activities with them coz she said I don&#039;t want to chase them when they are out. 

I am glad that we enjoy playing with our kids, planning their food menu, planning activities for them and most important, happy to be with them. 

Cheers to all SAHMommies......

&lt;strong&gt;Oh yes,  planning their food menus and activities is a fun thing to do. I remember I had a friend the same way too. She had her mom and mom-in-law look after her kid during the weekdays AND nights and only took him back during the weekends. Another friend had her mom look after her kid during the weekdays AND nights too because they said they couldn&#039;t cope. I feel that they should at least look after their kids during the weekday nights. This way, it&#039;ll be too late to try and bond with the kid or communicate with them when they reach their teens IMO.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>I lost my freedom when I had Philip. I mean total lost. I cannot just go out at night for teh tarik, shopping, etc. Everything now is based on the little fella. Sometimes when I&#039;m depress, I wished I didnt had any child. But then when I see Philip happy, I&#039;m happy.... *siao* (crazy) hor!!!

&lt;strong&gt;Ah yes, no more middle of the night teh tarik. Now if I want to have roti canai, I drag the kids along. The kids do love roti canai.... with sugar.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>All mummies are child centred :) That&#039;s what our blogs created for. 

I love being a SAHM, ppl wonder why i can live my life as simple as this, no colleagues and no social life, but for me &quot;colleagues + social life = gossips and bitching&quot;. Are these more important than spending time together with our children?

A SAHM&#039;s life can be so simple and actually life itself is simple, if one thinks that Life must be full of excitements and works or achievement in careers, then I suppose the person will be having hard time when he/she retires. Wait n see lah! I&#039;m glad that i have settled down myself in my 30&#039;s!

&lt;strong&gt;Its the simple things in life that makes us happy. :)&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>Agree with you. I&#039;m very proud of what I&#039;m now. A SAHM to three kids. What else and what more could I ask for? I&#039;m content to be around to nurture them and see them grow and be an active part in their formative years. :D

YEAH to all SAHM!

&lt;strong&gt;High 5!&lt;/strong&gt;</description>
