ImMeeMee:
My boy will also continue at the same EIPIC school if he can't get a place at PL. Trying my darnest not to worry about the what-ifs now.

Sad case. Probably easy for rest of us to condemn her actions BUT we really don't know what she went through. Single mum, depressed, no support, no $$ and daily grind can easily drive someone to desperation. If I didn't have family support and constant prayer, might be in the same boat too -
I perfectly can relates to the situation she is at…
Definitely not easy …the facts that she is able to withstand until 9 years already very strong …
Only if she know this forum …which help me …
If not I really don’t know where am I now … -
Her child might not be ASD. Could be something else…
Its really a tragic that such a thing happen. May the child rest in peace. -
Yes, very very sad.
She is so young, only 31 years old, so young.
Depression drove her to this.
I really pity the dead child’s grandma.
If the mother is convicted of murder, who will take care of the pitiful aged grandma ? -
Sg mommy,
Normally What are the charges like, at Novena medical centre ? -

Taking care of a child like this takes a lot of patience and strength and I am so sad it ended up like this. Wonder if she had enough support. So sad.Yes, very very sad.
She is so young, only 31 years old, so young.
Depression drove her to this.
I really pity the dead child's grandma.
If the mother is convicted of murder, who will take care of the pitiful aged grandma ? -

Hello Double E and all mummies here!Happy Monday everyone.
Just a quick question. If you are offered a new job with a 20% increment but you will need to travel out of Singapore frequently, work late nights and sometimes weekends, will you take up the job given that you have a special needs kid to coach and take care? How prepared are u to sacrifice the time? With the 20% increment, you can probably save more money to send your son to more therapies.
A long time no \"see\", now that I am on leave I have time to go through all the postings in the month of May and am really tempted to reply to some of them so here goes!
My answer to your question? A very definite NO. For the amount of flexibility you have and especially you are already a FTWM (which means whatever time left is really precious for you to spend time with your kids!).
Also forgive me for saying this but to be able to afford SGD2,500 of educational and therapies a month between you and hubby, I would say you do not need the additional 20% pay increment at the expense of all the flexibility that you now have.
Yes, 7 years is a long time and granted work would be a bit jaded. But it also means you can perform your job with (possibly) one-eye closed
.
Finished work and then zoom home!
Why I say this? Because I am in the same boat as you. Already worked for 6+ years in my current job. Currently I would say I have work-life balance ie. no need OT and no need to travel. At this stage, the ambition and the \"itch\" is biting. I too found myself thinking if there is a better offer to come along, I would jump ship! But it is also a real possibility that I might not be able to fit so well into another organisation anymore and after a short while may have to quit.
Which would be even worst because then becomes zero-pay! :sick: :moneyflies:
My boy going P1 next year and his needs is taking up a lot of our time as it is already. Cannot afford to pursue career, not even higher pay to \"fund\" more therapies.
I have already told my peers work-life balance is very important to me since I have two pre-schoolers. I may have to speak to my bosses very soon about job and pay expectations. My struggle is how to tell them without giving them the wrong impression that I am going to \"backslide\" in my work....
All the best!
