“Like That Also Can Ah?!!”

SAHM? FTWM? SAHD? PTWD? HUH?!

Published by simon on July 10, 2007

Mott tagged me on this…

If you are puzzled, let me explain all the confusing technical terms the parent-bloggers like to use.

SAHM - Stay At Home Mom. As in, “Aiyah Ah Sahm ah, you want to buy vegetable or not?”

FTWM - Full Time Working Mom. The opposite of those silai’s playing mahjong all day and going for manicure.

PTWM - Part Time Working Mom. A combination of the above two.

So similarly, you can deduce that the male or father version of the above is SAHD (as in ‘very SAD‘), FTWD and PTWD… got it?

So the question is, would i prefer to be a SAHD or FTWD? Give three reasons.

Of course i want to be stay at home dad, lah. No need to ask one la. You want three reasons?

  1. I hate work.
  2. I get to stay at home and watch Astro all day.
  3. When my full-time working wife comes home, i can bitch on and on about my kids.

~~Instructions~~~
Here’s how it works:
1. So easy peasy, if you were given a choice, would you be a SAHM or FTWM? Just provide 3 darn good reasons.
2. Include your post link to the list below and Finally,
3. Tag another three parent

1. Immomsdaughter prefers to be a SAHM
2. Miche prefers to be a SAHM too.
3. SweetPea is happy being a PTWM
4. AllThingsPurple choose to be a WAHM
5. Dr. Bernard Chan is both Mom and Dad
6. 5xMom wants to be … both?
7. Samm ….?
8. Helen prefers to be a FTWM
9. Adrian is a WAHD and seriously lacking sleep
10. Mott is everything-can-parent!
11. Simon dreams of being a SAHD.

I will tag the following victims…

1. Soon to be mummy 2ann

2. Mom of one Ponytales.

3. super-mom Mama23beas!
