Qpik Supercharged July 10, 2015 Share July 10, 2015 for few devoted stay home mums that i know (degree holders), with the consistent care over the years, their children minimum guarantee 250 and above. Well, I won't push her for IP unless she wants. We did consider NY n DHS but still too far. Secondary sch long hrs. Since her secondary sch is not too bad, if she cannot get into IP, it's not the end of the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lala81 Hypersonic July 10, 2015 Share July 10, 2015 Have been trying to convince my wife to quit her job but she downright refuses to do so saying that our standard of living will be affected. Guess I need to make more money like you Unless u earn like the bankers, don't say standard of living not affected is a lie. Dual income (both degree holder) and single income the difference is substantial. Especially with kids. Missing out income from the prime years of your life. Live simply lor. Still need to plan for retirement after all. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enye Hypersonic July 10, 2015 Share July 10, 2015 Probably Nan Chiau. They also don't accept PV. http://mypaper.sg/top-stories/clans-schools-end-parent-volunteer-scheme-20140610 this one is SK used to accept PV but i guess numbers are too overwhelming already for few devoted stay home mums that i know (degree holders), with the consistent care over the years, their children minimum guarantee 250 and above. i'll let you know if I broke your record when the results are released Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
