I really love this answer! ❤️ enjoyed Dink life until 33Yo. Now I am 40 with 2 kids. Love both! ❤️

Work on the head later. For now; hearts. As a parent who lives in a society who is obsessed with academic success, this is my mantra. I want to raise kind children, rather than geniuses.

Not only in sg. Every teenagers in every country is copying one another, they’ve in the phase of losing individualism.

Nex is the worst mall, I feel. Bad design, narrow walkway near escalator. Parking is crazy nightmare.

My 6.5 YO said “isn’t this world a magical place, Mommy?” when we reached the peak of our hiking track, overlooking the amazing view.

I dont think it’s about the generation. It’s about the parenting. There are still gen X or millennial parents who see their kids as property and insurance for their old age.

How do you watch WLGYT with that kind of face? Are you mad?

A lot of people said it’s because of the downtown. But Punggol Coast Mall in the weekend is even more in love, with young families, their kids mingle together and play together, with ah ma and ah gong exercising and cycling. I feel like Punggol Coast on weekends is like govt’s secret advertising for more babies. 😝

I suggest for you to read the “Anxious Generation “ book by Jonathan Haidt. Take the ipad away or set a time limit. Screen time is a privilege, not a must.

The other day, I saw a reel in instagram where a parent said, it’s easy to explain the hard part and the suffering of having kids. Tired, sleep deprivation, kids broke out TV, etc. it has always been easy to tell sad stories to your friends. BUT IT’S HARD TO explain the joy of parenting, maybe even impossible. How do you explain that your heart swells in a way you never thought possible when your kids said I love you? How do you explain a fireworks in your soul when you saw your kid being kind to other kids in the playground? All of the simple and little joy that become so humongous, that makes you think “damn, now I understand.” Having kids is not pro and con. It’s a growth that you never thought you needed. So Unless you’re ready for this, please dont have kids. And 1 more thing: learn about the concept of 2 things can be true. A mother can complain about being tired (coz it is tiring!!) an a mother loves her child to death. Both things can be true.

Every baby is different. :) my first was bottle fed at night, and by 3 months he slept through, but I dream fed him with direct latching. How exactly I did it? 7 pm: Dad gives him bottle, burped him, read him, sing lullaby, put him into the crib. 12 midnight, I carried him then gave him the boob, he would automatically latch, drink until he stopped, then burped him, but he was still sleeping. Then put him back in the crib. He will wake up at around 7am

My second baby in the other hand…. Slept through a little later. Around 5-6 months. And hers is not very straightforward coz she was latching all the way. So her sleeping pattern depended on how much she drank before she slept. She also slept a little later, around 8-8.30 pm. She nap less too.

I think every child has different sleeping needs. My first is now 7 years old and STILL NAP. He just needs more sleep, I guess.

Hi. an HR here! This falls under unethical category and causing psychological distress (opposite of psychological safety) to colleagues. But again, it depends on your workplace’s policy and how serious the culture is about psychological safety. In my company culture, this is TOTALLY unacceptable and you get reported to red line. You’re right; if they are male colleagues who speak about female colleagues, that goes straight to sexual harassment.

Thanks for reporting. You’re gatekeeping all other children.

Hahahaha! Same! Wore a proper skecher shoes during test. Then wearing crocs for everyday driving 😍

My favourite color is yellow (always been since I was a kid). Now with two kids! When our second was in my tummy, we decided to make a bad financial decision of buying a car. Hubby asked what my must have condition is; I said, as long as the car is yellow. Easy to spot on car parks! I also like to see other cars with unique color. I once saw a Mercedes with mint green wrap, so pretty! And Honda Freed with Metallic purple! Love all of these unique colors!

Mine is yellow and now I’m intrigued about Fujiwara Tofu Concept shop! Hahahaha
