TTC successfully or finding a job first?

Yeah, my hubby also told me the same thing. But after that, he will add on "why didn't u tell me when we married that you wanted to be a housewife?". Had I known, I would not have bought a 5-room flat so as to lessen the burden". At this point, I would have nothing to say because I only thought of becoming a housewife after realizing that I dun like stressful work environment (like tremendous workload, demanding boss, urgent deadlines. I hate all these!!!).
My hubby makes it sounds like it is my fault & he is blaming me... Ok ok, so in a sense, it is my fault but surely he does not have to say it this way right?
dun he knows tt there's always unforseen circumstances?? LOL... i did told my hubby before, if we hav our own children, i'll definitely stay at hm and take care of them on my own.. at least e 1st 2 yrs as i dun wish to miss thier 1st flip, 1st crawl, 1st laughter, 1st time standing up etc etc... hehe...

Hey regina, so did your hubby approve of this arrangement? Or did he frown upon it? Actually I also think this way too because once that very FIRST moment comes & goes, it will never come back. You can press the rewind button but nothing will go back in time.
At this moment now, I think my hubby is more concerned that I find a job, even a PT job first.... I went for a few interviews but did not managed to find a suitable one.

dun wry.. just keep observing.. only a pregnancy kit or blood test will tell u whether u're preg anot...

las time whenever 1 or 2 days b4 my menses come, i keep hav the "feeling" tt something is flowing out even aft i just got preg but turn out to be i too paranoid lol...

this time nv strike, try again next mth! next mth still cant strike, try again... NEVER GIVE UP! :Dancing_tongue:

Wow, your company is really good huh? Does she have any special skills that makes the company values her, instead of treating her as a liability???

Hi Jal,
Since you have a 5 room flat...which is a blessing as i don't even have our own nest...why don't u rent out one room to student to lessen the financial burden?
just a suggestion ;0)

my company use to have a similar case as this...the temp does not really have any special skill but she does has a good working attitude ;0) despite the fact that she was pregnant while temping for us..she has very good attendance and take pride in her work.

I was jobless when i got married. and i TTC immediately cos me n hb wanted a baby straightaway (hb not younge le).

finances wise it was amazing. we din even tink about it. we jus prayed hard :)
at tt time hb was e onli one bringing in money, we were renting a unit cos flat not ready. we tot ttc a few months then i can rest also. but who noes, strike on first try.

end up i started working when i was 8wks preggie (company called me back even though they noe i'm preggie). and hv been coping well with childcare arrangements n work.

my hb was very prepared for me to stay at home but i noe his income isnt alot. though can survive, but my hb gotta work very hard and hardly hv time for me.

I'm starting to TTC for #2 now. And am starting PT work in Jul this yr. hopefully by then will be preggie liao so PT will allow me to rest more n spend more time with my son :)

for those who are making this impt decision, always ask urself:
- can u cope without luxuries?
- does ur hb understand ur POV?
- are u willing to take up the hard work (being SAHM is 24/7, no leave, no mc, no weekends, no off duty!)

What is POV?
Your PT job refers to the company highlighted in black above?

Hi Ladies, need some advice..

I am not out of job.. but I just lucky to get accepted for inter departmental transfer... at the same time i am TTC... Now i am in dilemma.. i not sure if i should continue TTC or stop for a couple of mths.

It seems not fair when i go over to the new department.. and if i am really lucky to get pregnant shortly after joining.

*headache*
