How much do you spend on the kids' tuition/enrichments?
-
jce:
If the child is enjoying and not stressed up by all the enrichment, and financially you're not stressed up by the amount, then I guess it's alright. $700 for so many things is not ex. I know many others who spend a lot more.
Thank jce...sometimes I feel stress instead of my DD. I'm worry whether she can take so many things or not. It seems she enjoy most of things. Maybe I can cut the one she is not so interested in. Like Biligual... -

I just heard there is a grade exam set by UK Trinity Drama and Speech Examinations, just like piano, violine exam.
This enrichment center has related training for P4&P5 students. I called this center, 80% teachers are from UK. The rests are mostly from US, Austrilia, and 2 of their teachers are local.

Deep down, i'm sure you know your DH is right after all.

Hahaa.. aren't we SAHMs all multi-taskers of diff professions at home? :lol:....need to hire a maid as well...so I'm now maid-cum-tutor.
Maid will help out in terms of those nonsensical in out chores that never ends
so that you can concentrate on managing your family time while balancing
working full time. By not having to do chores, quality time is enhanced.
The only thing we spend on is mainly DD1's violin lesson... for now.
May need to outsource for Maths with #3 coming soon, dunno have time
anot to maintain.
DD2 learns very well with me and most times a
very independent learner... hence for her it's all DIY. She used
to do piano but the interest was shortlived.
So current damage only : 100+ (for my pri sch gg girls)
