jen, there is one course at bt batok east too.. u can try that ...
mommies, yest kate was reenacting.. she took out a soft toy dog (yes the one which i was supposed to clean but did not!

), then she put the dog standing on its legs and said 'mommy bao bao', then she carried the dog, then put the dog down saying 'come down', basically reenacting me refusing to carry her... so sad..duno if she is showing that she is being affected by my refusal to always carry her...
2nd thing... does any of u who are still working feel constrained by ur role as a mother without the necessary/much support who has to put her career on last priority becos she does not have someone she can trust to take care of the kid when she works OT/flies overseas. I think this is minor compared to a few mommies who are SAHM now (100% sacrifice their careers), but with global competitiveness and old age, it frankly does not pay to be so fussy, but its a delicate balance that I am unable to find a 'balance' to (hb constantly bring work home and for certain reasons, refuses to find a less bring-work-home job/higher paying job so that I can leave my its-difficult-to-find-ajob-without-OT industry, and with his poor health, i canot say shrimp and survive on his salary cos one day he might not be able to work and then i will have to be the sole breadwinner).
Just ranting, since I know everyone have their own 'mommy' problems even for those who need to fly overseas and have the family support. Just feeling frustrated.
