Mag,
As for the emulation, I meant no offence. Well, knowing that the government has molded us to be like that, its on the individuals' onus to break the mindset. Quoting Adam Khoo, humans often do two things during failures, blame others ; or give excuses. Esp. when the economy is good, the garment will state its due to good foresightedness, leadership etc. When economy is bad, the garment will say, the whole world is affected by it wat, not our fault. Guess Adam Khoo is right huh? Anyway, I thank you for sharing the recipe, it's great!
Cynthia,
Yes, its our 1st child. Ever since my wife was pregnant, I told her to quit. So in all, she hasn't been working for 15 months. She been in the workforce for about 4-5 years.
Romance. As for your suggestion, I have already instilled them during the courtship days and even when baby is around. I called Romantic Week, where she has absolute say in everything she does. I even open the door for her during this week. We even managed fine dining but was cut short because we forgotten to leave the milk with our in-laws. I even arrange a spa treatment during our short retreat.
Finance. As per many households, she doesn't pay for any utilities bill etc. She is also given some acceptable amount for whatever purpose. Just 2 weeks back, i gave her some money for rebonding and highlight, if reqd. She saved them instead.
Outing. I will always bring her every Sunday. But it might turn out to be double jeopardy because there's a lot of pack up she needs to do when going out with baby. As she is expressing, not many places suit her liking in Singapore (See: Cleanliness).
End of the day, I must conclude it's communication that may be the stumbling block.

How old is your baby? Cos when my boy took his last 6-in-1 jab, he weigh only 8.4kg and at 66.5cm. Well, I assumed he's normal anyway. Maybe my wife is like you, because she tends to be react a lot faster than me. Maybe you people should go and be snake handlers, fast reactions are essentials skills.
JP,
Thank you on the article on Spirited Child. I think it's an useful article but it may not be exhaustive because i perceived every child is different. I don't know why my child seems to fit the bill of a spirited child. Guess his parents are both too stubborn!!
Warrior Angel,
Not only your hubby and I should "hi-5", but I think you girls should also understand the intricacies of how sunlight penetrates the clothes. Under prolonged lighting (plus wind), its just a matter of time. Who knows some god-damn neighbours upstairs not automatic, no matter how nicely one hang the clothes may not be fruitful too wat! (Yes, its an excuse by the guys...haha!)
Anyway, the silent war continues. . . . .
P/s: You girls can really chat. .. .only a couple hours and the chain mail is already so longgggg........
