Hi I am working mother too. In-laws stay with us, so better go to work otherwise will have conflict. Just feel not enough time and sometimes feel guilty not to see enough my children growing up. But no choice ...

Nowadays no choice but to work. dont stay with in-laws but near them (just next block). Sometimes, also have conflict as to how to take care of my toddler. I'm more imm-chim but I'm doing for my princess's own good.

As for spending time with my toddler, I'll try to pick her up from in-laws a.s.a.p. I got back from work. Usually during weekdays only have 1-2 hours to spend with her. As for weekends, I'll spend all my time with her and hubby unless I got my own pampering to do. Hehehe. Weekends I hardly send my toddler to my in-laws.

Hi Michelle, out of topic a bit here. My in laws house (they stay with my brother in-law and the wife) is the same block with me but dont't know why they like to stay with us. Slowly they moved in by bringing their clothes etc to my house. They cook and live in my house, only their registered address is not.
I prefer to be stay at home mum actually but for my case really no choice. **sob sob sob**. You know what are the problems staying with IL. Better go to work and less conflicts.
