Yes, it's like that.


On some days, my baby's already asleep when I pick her up from my mother's place. so sad. Sometimes, I play with her first. Then take a late bath at 10+pm.

That's why I choose to work 4-day week & started a weekly playgroup for her in my centre.

I don't buy too many toys. I spend most of our time playing, creating things & talking. It helps a lot.

I also outsource a lot of energy-sapping stuff like hsework, even bathing her on weekends. Otherwise, no energy to play with her.

Hi mummies - i hv shared with some mummies here before that I m working towards the goal of spending more time with my boy without lowering my current standard of living. Do you want to join me n explore the option? We earn passive income by helping ppl to lose weight. Let me know :)

This thread seem quite time ago.. I do agreed. After I come back from work , I really left not much time. My boy now is 14 month old , sometime is I feel abit guilty as i really exhausted no energy to play with him.

As a teacher I usually spend almost 12 hrs in sch from 6:40am to 6:30pm... Reached home 7+! I love my job so I really have no plan to switch... Worse is after I got home I still hv to mark assignments, set papers, do lesson plans until around 1am. I'm still on maternity leave now but I'm really worried when I go back to work :( the only perk is I can take unpaid childcare leave so I'm taking a few mths... I'm a very obsessive mother and i wanna be around to witness my baby's milestones. I seriously wonder how i'd cope once I have to go back to work... :(

I'm working as a nurse, full-time.. and recently just returned to work after ML.. feels so tired most of the time because I have to deal with patients so it's a zero error tolerant job..
Whenever I am home I have no more energy to do other things except deal with my 2 kiddos.. haha..
