Any parents here have children and are without the help of either own parents or parent-In-laws? I'm in this situation. Hubby and I are on our own and I'm almost worn out liao. Use to have maid but she stole my things and I sent her back. After that have phobia having maid cos previous maid really gives me a lot of prob. My mom's two maids also created a lot of prob. So I have a bad bad phobia about getting a maid. I have two kids aged 5 and 10 months old. I'm a working mom too. Day time kids go to childcare and infant care. Otherwise, we handle on our own and I feel very worn out. Anybody same situation as me? Can share how u cope?

Gd you're reaching out. My kids are now 16 & 10, I don't think it gets easier. Each stage has work& challenges & also joys! What i suggest is you begin with a picture of the kind of family life you want. Our family life quality is the foundation for all other areas. A full time job plus chores plus marriage plus kids is impossible today becoz of pace & expectations. Try to talk over the vision with your hubby. Encourage him in his role. If at all possible scale back work. Save your best energy for those who mean the most to you! And find a way to refresh yourself too! Take care!
