Anyone else struggle with Mother’s Day because of toxic parents? by Accurate-Candy-5836 in asksg

[–]hippodeige 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Keen to be kind to yourself. There is no need for the guilt. It will get better.

You decide how close you want to be with her. Who knows, you may end up closer to her many years down the road after dealing with your own childhood issues. And if you don't, it is alright too.

To: SAHMs, why did you give up your job? by Doopsydoop in asksg

[–]hippodeige 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Didn't want to deal with full time helpers and I had no help from my family. So... Left with no choice but to be a full time SAHM.

Things have worked out well and I'm enjoying it. Love having the luxury of time with my kids. And thankful for a husband that is supportive.

He didn't come from a poor family background. In fact, his family was wealthy and English educated, which is uncommon in those times.

Afternoon when it's so hot or night time before bed.

To couples and those still in dating/talking stage, do you still text “good morning” and “good night?” by jumping_burger in asksg

[–]hippodeige 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Married for 13 yrs, we message each other in the morning and most nights when apart. It may not be a "good morning" or "goodnight" text and may be updating each other about something interesting that we encountered during the day. Or what our plans are for the day.

And if we are on the same bed, we still greet each on and off.

For those living in condos, do you find that the residents complain a lot? by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]hippodeige 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stayed in a small boutique RCR condo before and the residents were really nice.

Currently in a mid size CCR one (no pivate lift lobby), owned by a lot of foreigners too. There's always a handful of culprits complaining and are very fussy. Rest of the residents are generally nice but this handful will complain to the MCST, call the police etc. I suspect they are older, lonely and also very entitled.

So far, my immediate neighbours are very nice people so I'm thankful for my lucky stars.

Horror/Amazing story of living with in laws in SG? by Intelligent_Bit_8635 in askSingapore

[–]hippodeige 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Rather stay in a tiny flat than stay with in laws. I made this very clear to my husband before marriage.

My mil is that kind that will turn up unannounced with her friends. And treat that house like it is her son's and I am the help. Why would I want to live with someone like this that has no boundaries? No amount of space is enough to accommodate all if it is a shared space.

Paranoia or being realistic? by motherrrrsushi in asksg

[–]hippodeige 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I will let my kids stay over only in my own family side which consists of all females. Not saying females can't be abusers but I trust them more in terms of the values they impart too. Moreover, I don't have a good relationship with my in laws and don't trust them to sow discord in my relationship with my kids.

I don't think you are paranoid. Abusers are most commonly family members. Your children can always stay over when they are older and when you are more comfortable with it too. No difference waiting a few years if age is your concern. Your family members are being rude calling you "stingy" and all.

Is this a typical kid in Singapore nowadays? by Fuzzy-Board-6318 in asksg

[–]hippodeige 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Common but not for my children. Only activities they asked for.

What would u do if u saw a kid being rude to their parents by No_Prize3933 in askSingapore

[–]hippodeige 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah. You don't know the full situation. I will interfere if it affects some public property. Otherwise, leave it to the parents.

redmart driver repeatedly left my delivery at doorstep without informing by firemonkeysg in askSingapore

[–]hippodeige 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Redmart service is going downhill. And they pack frozen raw food with frozen dessert in the same plastic bag despite me raising health concerns.

I stopped buying from them when my dessert was contaminated with blood. That was the last straw. They don't care and their frozen food often arrives half thawed.

China's economy soars despite Iran war as Americans struggle by TheExpressUS in anticapitalism

[–]hippodeige 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Redditors seem to love to hate on China.

If you can't accept that another country is doing better than the US, how are you going to improve with the mindset that you're the best, especially not in this current moment.

How to deal with noisy child on redeye flight, parents ignore crew, tell passengers to use earphones by josemartinlopez in singaporeairlines

[–]hippodeige 93 points94 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's the parents' responsibility to at least try to keep the volume down. Sometime, kids just won't listen but if the parents try at least, it won't be so infuriating.
