Any Mommies in mid-late 30s with teenages

[Cotton]

Met my hubby at 19 then married at 23 lor! He is a businessman & I travelled with him all the time then both sides mummies felt tat we shld be tied down by de cert so ....!

I gave birth to my eldest gal the nxt year, She is healthy but tend to fall sick often during de 1st 3 years. I became a sahm to take care of her. It wasn't easy! I was still very young, to stay put at home can really kills me. In de 1st year, my hubby still has to travel often so most time i'm left alone with my baby. I did suffer from post natal then but managed to pull through with my mummies help. After 1 year of factory closed, i gave birth to my 2nd girl. Believe me! Without the help of maids, I took care of them myself alone and I believed u know tat when 1 fall sick, the other one follows. So for the 1st few years, it was a nightmare! Luckily, my hubby stops being a superman. He stays put to help out.
Many of my kakis asked how can I stay home to look after my kids & worse still, without a maid. But if u ask me now, I will make de same decision again. Bonding with my kids & hubby is very important in our family. We want our kids to be positive & cheerful plus our marriage life is still very blissful. Cos I always believe if the parents are happy so do de kids!
Now tat my jewels are in sch, I do have more free time to engage in my passion, japanese patchwork. In de mrning, i will go teach my students & in the noon, I will still be \"Maria\"! Ha!Ha!Ha! Tat's my story!

Hi Cotton,


Thanks for sharing! Wow, you sound like a really blissful \"ajuma\", \"maria\", whatever...ke...ke...ke...! I really admire you for devoting yourself to your family, both kids and hubby!

Japanese patchwork? Sounds interesting! I love all things Japanese and have a collection of kokeshi dolls on display at home.

What sort of Japanese patchwork may I ask?

My Dear, I do have my sobbing side! I can tell u I was disliked by my father-in-law and the rest. Dun't ask me why? I also dun know leh! Is it bcos i'm too pretty/! Ha!Ha!Ha! :evil: Guess it's bcos most of them went to work after giving birth & I'm the only 'idle' one! or they jealous my hubby spoilt me rotten?! Wahhaha!:siao: (Pls forgive me! I'm nuts!!!)


Oh, Jap patchwork! Most of my themes are sweet and romantic prints! Sometimes, i made it as a gift or I sold it away as well as a sample to show it to my students, then they will be tempted to learn & i will be rich!! Hee! Hee! I sew & quilt every single projects by hand. I got the fabrics, zippers, laces everything from Jap. I do make quilts, bags, pouches, ..... I made my children pillowcases, bedspread, blankets, bags, pencil cases... whatever they asked for! They will choose the fabrics then i made them! In this way, my kids learnt to match colours. This helps when they are painting.

My hubby always nag this is a luxury hobby! Cos all the things I used, I got it from Jap! But to me, the satisfaction is there whenever I finished de project.

You are a fortunate lady as u can do what you like and have a great hobby. I wish I can sew like u for my kids. Cheers up

Of cos, you can! Start by doing simple zakka items for your child like his pillowcase. Jus measure his pillow then when u get the fabrics, cut accordingly then machine it. Simple! You can get the fabrics from Chinatown, de shops do carry cute prints & jus get 1/2 yard or 0.5 m. It's abt $12 per m.


Everyone have their own stories! I do not wan to ponder over wat happened! Jus enjoy every moments with your child! To be a SAHM is the most wonderful thing in life, though kids are devils!Ha!Ha!Ha!
