Hi suelynn,
No one is ever ready for anything. Honestly, when I know I am pregnant, I told my hubby I am not ready. My hb himself also not ready for it. Financially and mentality.
Until then, my lecturer who just give birth told us something during our wedding dinner, no one is ever ready for something until u are into it.
I give up my job because of some pregnancy complications in my 1st trimester plus my wedding is just 2 mths away. Sad to say, i just get promoted but have to resigned after a mth. Maybe this is fate.
When I just give birth, hb and I had a lot of arguements and quarrel, I almost got into depression. Non of us are ready for this baby I guess.. too much transition. We struggle thru abt 2 mths before we can actually settle down. well, for money thing..we just have to watch wat we spend.
As for ur wedding RSVP, dun be mad over ur hubby... guys are like these most of the time. My hubby is not even kan jiong until 2 weeks before the actual day. I dun care abt his side, i just settle my own RSVP and no matter what he will do it. Trust me, the more u nag at him, the more he will not do it and will give u lame answer that u dun wish to hear.
PILs are the same... my MIL also try to meddle in the seating arrangement and in the end i give her the flr plan and ask her to pick the tables she want. Then she herself go and do up the list, who should sit with who etc. I cannot be bother. Cos no matter wat we do, they still think they can do better. Keke!!
Cheer up, dun be too stress up if not u will be lost in all the wedding preps.

kris> I am the type who likes to be in control, control freak. Better not let the poor child suffer with me or in my hands. It takes a lot of courage n sacrifice to give up what u have nw and to step into something else. Wedding ald make me so cranky, emotional and depressed, I dun tink I can handle myself becoming rolly polly and having to worry abt the kid's education, upbringing etc to infinity and beyond. I cant multi-task for sure on this. I only plan my seating arrangement for my own guests, my mum do hers n dad do his. Then those like left overs then we will put together n form 1 table, n still cant form 1 then see the other side how. But I nt gonna do the seating like 2 weeks before the AD. No pt do nw. Jus rsvp 1st.
bear> when it comes to $ issues, better to keep it seperate. My parents offer to help in $ terms they also nt happy n yet they got nothing they can offer to help. So my mum got fed up, ask we all to seperate everything, they wanna go n delay the planning etc their biz. Anyway we got quite alot of guests so split half easier. if not enuff seats or too many empty tables, they deal with it. Since expectations n progress cant be inline so jus have to dettach one fr another. They wanna embarass themselves by making a mess out of the seating on the day itself, its their bis. As long as my guests are nt affected can ald.

BRITAIN: 1 in 3 women grads unlikely to start families
LONDON - GRADUATE women in Britain are having fewer children, with one in three unlikely to become mothers.
According to a new study, 40 per cent of highly educated women are still childless by the time they are 35 - an increase of 20 per cent in just over a decade.
By the time they reach the end of their child-bearing years at 45, about 30 per cent will still be childless.
The study conducted at the Centre for Longitudinal Studies (CLS), based at the Institute of Education in London, suggests that the number of women planning to start a family has plummeted in the last decade. The findings, which have not been published yet, provide a detailed insight into education and fertility. The lives of 11,000 men and women born in 1970 were tracked by researchers.
Of these, 2,000 qualified women were last questioned in 2005 when they were 35.
Some women said it was a conscious decision to be childless, while others were more involved in building careers, buying a home and finding the right partner before even thinking about motherhood.
Graduates who did become parents were having fewer children, and later.
Researchers also studied a group of graduate women born in 1958, and found that 32.7 per cent were childless at 35.
The low birth rate trend explains the ageing population in Britain, where an overall population decline is being prevented by migration and a higher birth rate among non-graduates.
If this continues, the eventual rate of childlessness among graduates now in their 20s is likely to be even higher than a third.
One way to stem the falling birth rate could be greater flexibility on the part of employers, who can assure women that their careers would not be over if they had children.
The research was revealed by Professor Heather Joshi, CLS director and head of the research team, at a seminar held by liberal think-tank Centre Forum, the Daily Mail reported.
The seminar was also attended by Mr David Willetts, the Tory education spokesman who has voiced concerns over Britain's falling birth rate.
He said he feared that pressures such as the difficulty of buying a home might be leaving some women unable, rather than simply unwilling, to have children.
'If this is simply women's choice, then so be it,' he said. 'If, however, there is evidence that people are not having as many children as they would expect or aspire to because social or economic policies are creating an environment which is less family-friendly, then that's a problem.'
Unlike government statistics that only mention number of births, the study also takes into account education level of the mothers.
In the past, small-scale surveys had tried to connect education and motherhood.
In 2003, an article headlined 'Graduate and Childless' in Australia's Quadrant magazine discussed the dramatic effect of graduation among 40-year-old women.
For those with no tertiary qualifications, the average number of children was 2.3; for those with one degree, 1.8; and for those with a higher degree, 1.3 - that is, half a child off per degree.
About 34 per cent of highly educated women were childless, while 22 per cent of women with a single degree had no time for motherhood.

Baby boom
FRANCE: Generous family benefits help reverse falling birth rates
By Susan Sachs, For The Straits Times
PARIS - WITH the highest birth rate in Europe, France seems to be bucking the trend that England and much of western Europe are reeling under - an ageing population.
Nearly 830,000 babies were born in France last year, a bumper crop that was the largest in 25 years.
The birth rate, defined as the number of live births per 1,000 people, increased from 1.8 to 2.1 per cent last year. On average, according to the government, French women of child-bearing age are having two children each.
But as they have more children, French women will disappear from the workforce.
Experts believe that, in its eagerness to take the financial sting out of raising big families, the government has created a system that induces mothers with few skills or poor education to stop working.
Almost 80 per cent of mothers with one young child, however, continue to work. With two children, that percentage drops to 60 per cent, and with three or more children, only 37 per cent of mothers remain in the workforce.
Generous family benefits also make it easier for many women to have children without having to give up their career ambitions or their creature comforts.
France spends more than most industrialised countries on social benefits, about 44 per cent of its GDP. And, according to the most recent figures available, for 2003, France spent 16 billion euros (S$33 billion) just on programmes to help parents with young children.
In addition, tax credits for working parents who hired nannies amounted to 545 million euros.
France has long pursued a deliberate policy of encouraging women to have children, by offering free day-care centres, government grants to stay-at-home parents, cash bonuses for large families, generous parental leave and an array of other subsidies.
The abundance of babies is evident in any French city.
Municipal day-care centres in Paris, for example, are filled to capacity and the competition for the services of a 'nourrisse', or licensed nanny, is fierce.
Any afternoon in good weather, the lucky children, strapped into six-seat strollers, are wheeled about the sidewalks of residential neighbourhoods and parks.
Ms Cristina Melo, a Portuguese grandmother who takes care of five children ranging from three months to two years old, said she is hired by mothers who are students, executives and teachers.
'There is a lot of business,' she said as she tried to keep her charges quiet. 'Lots of babies these days.'
Although only 20 per cent of preschool children in France are able to find places in public childcare centres, the government provides support, through tax breaks and other grants, to parents who have to pay for private child care.
Parental leave rules are liberal, allowing mothers or fathers of newborns to take up to six months off from work with nearly full pay and a guarantee of reclaiming their old jobs. Parents also receive a back-to-school cheque from the government for about US$350 (S$530) for each school-age child.
Last year, France took its baby policy a step further, boosting the incentives for women to have three or more children by sweetening the benefits, including discounts of about 30 per cent on train tickets, 50 per cent off public transportation cards, and discounts on rental cars, food, clothing, newspaper subscriptions, hotels and even pizza parlours.
But the big-family bonuses have done little to change the modern preference for having just one or two children.
The number of families with just three children has remained stable, at about 15 per cent of all households with children, for years. And only 4 per cent of households have four or more children, according to the government.
One-third of these big families live in public housing for the poor.
However, despite subsidies, many French couples say they cannot afford big families and do not want their work life or lifestyles to suffer from the demands of a lot of children. But they do want children.
'I just have a different life than my parents had,' said Mr Thomas Lebraud, a 27-year-old real estate agent in Paris who is one of five children. 'They married in their early 20s and started having kids right away. I'm not even married yet and there are lots of things I want to do first.'
Still, Mr Lebraud said, his girlfriend would like to have a baby. She is his age but has been bouncing from one low-paid internship to another in public relations companies.
Paradoxically, her bleak financial prospects make it a favourable time for the couple to plunge ahead.
'She hasn't been able to find a full-time job and so she has the time,' he said.
'And because she's living partly on (welfare), she'd be able to get reasonable help from the state to cover a lot of our costs.'

Dajie: ya, i feel so drain everytime after the interview. got to sound enthusiatic for 5 times talking about the same thing. *faint* The HR says will let me know the result by friday next week. so hoping for good news. If not, i got to start searching again.
haha, kids topic again. Met up with some old buddies yday. both are with kids, the inevitable questions was of cos targetted at me. 'when you going to have your own?' even one of their mother asked me. I have given up trying to tell them why, so i told them very shallow replies. 'i still want to play, so cannot have kids' , 'I am afraid i will put on weight, so cannot have kids'...
heng the gathering last nite was good cos these 2 friends are good at disciplining their kids. They dealt out punishment as and when required so the kids were more or less under control. been out with 2 other friends, basically their kids control them with their crying and tantrum. i have since stop going out with the 2 incapable mums. They like to show off their kids, talk about their kids, but their kids are just spoilt brats and i cannot tell them straight in their face. just irritate the hell out of me.

tea> u wake up so early ah??? 5 times is alot...its like some govt job liddat..... *yawn* gotta work tdy. Now ald got ppl keep bugging me abt kids. I normal throw another question back at them like "I very old now meh?" or "Y must have kids?", better still if they have children older than me n still nt married. So I will say I am waiting for them to get married and have kids 1st. Sometimes I just give my standard answer, I din get married just to have kids.....so they got offended or they get the hint, I dun care as long as conversation ended.
U noe when I was abt 21 or maybe younger I ever tot of having kids like 1 yr after getting married......means immediate have kids after AD. But as I got older and get irritated by parents and kids ard me, I start to tink otherwise.....n now come to a pt where I will only tink abt it after I settle myself down.

dajie: i definitely have drift apart with buddies who have kids. think we are all in diff stage of our life, they will prob come back to look for me when their kids leave them. in the meanwhile, i have another firm circle of friends who are not for kids. I am happy. we are even talking about staying close together so that we can keep a look out for each other when we are old.

What I mean is there must be some kind of frame/skeleton done up, sure to last min have some re-arranging.my hb's cousin wedding was in a mess n n one to organise properly, so end up all the relatives help by splitting up filling up empty tables. End up alot of ppl nt happy altho no choice had to help. I dowan mine end up like tat also. Mil nvr learn fr the nephew's wedding, she dunno wat is malu I tink..... My hb did his frens, colleagues up to abt 90% ald, was bugging him to go help his mum.
tea> I am sure u will be rewarded for waiting, jus like me.....am glad I preserv till nw tho i dying to leave heheh. Better to have a gd one than to anyhw jump on the wagon ya? Till tdy she havnt touch the cards. That time we book the tables were based on min tables. Nw increase by abt 20%, she got nt enuff cards is her bis ald! I m left with 1 mth 1 week left, we have to confirm the tables with coordinator by next week. Dun care ald, I m going to minus 2 tables tat she estimated, she got not enuff is her bis, let her go n make her relatives n frens spilt up n fill up watever gaps there is or she go n squeeze. I tried to imagine her look n she panic etc, I can only laugh, we too busy to entertain guests tat nite to clear her shit for her, as long as my side the guests all seated properly I dun care. Let the 2 bils n her dear sistas to go n help her then! Hahaha, as the chinese saying goes, making happiness out of bitterness.

Eh, i finally have time to come online to wish Anna a wonderful married life ahead, blessed with lotsa love and children! Congrats babe! by this time u shd be sending ur guests off...
Wah, back to the kids issue again... are we running out of things to talk abt? First we were harping on SIA, now the kids.. heehee.. BTW, if anybody is interested, last Wed newspapers, last page (Money section), SIA took a half page ad to list down the awards they won in 2006... abt 50+ awards, more than half of it was for the best airline of the year.. so SIA is still the best.. heehee...
I guess those who haven't have kids won't understand those that have them and vice versa... i think it is very easy to get overwhelmed by the thoughts of having a baby. But it is equally uncomprehensible for those who have kids, and enjoy their kids' company, that there are ppl that don't.... i think its a personal lifestyle choice.. if we choice a certain path, walk it with no regrets...
Sue, u sound so gleeful! wahahahaha...
Tea, hope u get the job, either of one... cos my eyes are hurting liao.. ppl are staring at me when i go out! heeheehee..
Anise, have fun tmr.. heehee.. i think diff ppl got diff threshold of pain so don't bother comparing... if u really scared pain during labour, then op to have epidural...

Anna,
congrats on yr AD! I was having lunch at HOtel Rendevous yesterday...thinking abt u having yr AD there at night =)
Anise,
ya mayb the companies dont wan to spent $$ advertising for recruits so they called up ppl who sent them the resumes in the past.
Tea,
I never tried a phone interview. Shd b easier than a face to face one. But phone interviews wld only be used when one party is not in sg.GD luck for the 2 jobs!

BLUE... =) there is another couple choosing the gown.. so they see wat i wear, they will oso ask from my coordinator.. but luckily my coordinator is good enuff, knowing this will happen, she slowly take out EG that she feels it's nice and not hanging outside so prominent for others to capture it hehe .. anyway m happie with her service =)
cherz.. true.. guess the company saving advertising cost.. hehe.. so u can give it a try as well right =)
jannie... hmm guess i will be over-joy saying the baby playing inside mi.. hehe.. so u oso hoping for a boy??
sue.. understand how u feel.. true it wont reflect nice if u got to make ur relative feel up the gaps.. wont make their comfortable at all.. let u hubby handle her mum.. u juz get ur stuff done... =)

Hello!!
Hahahah.. Sue and Jannie, it is much scarier for me to tell u guys face to face.. telling u guys on the forum isn't scary enough.. heehehee...
Jannie, i wanna return u ur SATC! yes, toilet can go.. but try not to stand up too long or sit upright for too long...
Tea, any news on the last interview? i think having interviews is better than nothing though.. despite all the hassle, i feel better to know that i m still in the running for the job... hang in there!

Rachel: i am kinda surprise by your comments on the job issue. It just shows how insensitive you are. You are a mummy now, think before you comment or share your comments. somewhat this image came to my mind....
-------------------------------------------
"20+ yrs later...
Rachel's son: mummy, this company called me up for the 6th interview!

Rachel's son: ok mummy, then can you continue to give me pocket money till i find the next better job?"
---------------------------------------------
what kind of message are you sending to your kid? Your view reflects your character and reflects the kind of value you will bring your kids up in.
A lot of times, things don work out the way we want them to be. Who is this world wants to be out of job, going for numerous interviews, be judged,... etc. thus your insentive comments are uncalled for. If you are currently out of job, with bills to pay, are you going to be doing what you preach?

bear, me also wanna take back the SATC from u leh...guess can onli get back if i make a trip to ur company again...
tea, bet u r drained from the interviews oredi...the most i had was 3 times n i got the job...but like bear said, at least u noe u r still in the runnin for the job...so cheer up

Tea,
Pardon me i dun knw u hve been retrenched (got clue fr jannie & bear's post)till I traced back previous post.
Firstly,I do agree wif u tat we need to pay several bills for personal,household or parents.$ is a very useful tool -able to solve many issues but it also will lead others into wrong path.
Second,wat I commented is my opinion where I'm holding a job.Definitely needs to take half-day leave or time off for interview.Tat's the reason y i'll say wasting time for going to interview,money for transportation,effort where I need to keep taking leave for interview.
Thirdly,if my son wan to change a new job.of cos I'll wan him to look up for more job interview to broader the chances(give up a forest b cos of a tree).Hence if he's out of job,any job is better than nothing at all(no fish,prawn oso gd).
Y I'll vote my comments because I never come across/hear a job where needs many interviews.

tea> don't fret k. Hang in there, I was out of job for sometime the last time too. Understand hw u feel. U just do what u tink is ... ya? Since u ald passed so many stages, jus go n try right. If u dowan the job later, can always dun take it mah rite, doesnt mean u will take.... Then u can tell them let me tink if I want it, then their turn to be upset ahhaha cos they interviewed so many times n yet u said that! Ok, there I go again...trying to imagine ppl upset n yet I get happy! Anyway wat company is that? They are paying the big shots just to do interviews ah? There shld be other candidates too rite? hahahha! Damn free!
