"Even though I was happy I could support my childr

"Even though I was happy I could support my children in their needs, there were many times I felt empty. Here I was, looking after other people’s kids. I showered them, cooked for them, played with them. I even slept with them every night. From morning until it was morning again I would be there for those kids, even later when they started going to playgroup. My employer asked me to teach them how to count, and how to spell the alphabet. I taught them with love and responsibility. But then I realised that I never had the chance to do all those things for my own kids. I missed all those precious moments." As we celebrate Mother’s Day, do remember there are many mothers in Singapore who are far from their children. We hear from Indonesian mama and FDW Novia Arluma, who had to leave her 6-year-old son and 1.5-year-old daughter behind in Indonesia when she came to work in Singapore. More in our link in bio. We may be a day late, but here's wishing a very Happy Mother's Day to all our amazing helpers ❤️

"27 years ago I became a mother. I was 18 years ol

"27 years ago I became a mother. I was 18 years old, back in the days before social media and parenting communities... It was a strange thing: being old enough to carry and care for a child, but still years away from being old enough to drink alcohol or go out dancing. Being old enough to pay bills and rent and have responsibility for a human being, but not being old enough to be listened to or respected as a parent. I didn’t have the life experience or maturity to demand any of it, but I sure felt entitled to it and like I had all the answers. Like most teenagers.⁠
It was hard. ⁠
It was rewarding. ⁠
It was messy, it was beautiful and it was lonely."⁠
⁠
Photographer Irina Nilsson @irinanilssonphotography⁠
(the lady behind many of Sassy Mama's interview photoshoots) reflects on becoming a parent at the age of 18. Read the full piece in our link in bio.⁠

Tomorrow is Mother's Day! Here's to recognising and thanking you for all the amazing things you do - the nights spent looking after sick kids, the days spent worrying about your little ones (are they eating enough, are they making good friends, are they sleeping enough - the worries never cease!), the school drop-offs and after school ferrying, the lunch-box packing and meal cooking. This mum job is hard work - but we wouldn't change it for the world! ⁠
We hope you'll be spoiled rotten by your family mama, you deserve it! Here's to YOU! x⁠

Bed shortages, lack of oxygen supplies and rapid t

Bed shortages, lack of oxygen supplies and rapid testing kits, overcrowded hospitals, and overflowing crematoriums and graveyards are just some of the devastating effects of the second wave of Covid-19 infections that are currently plaguing India. According to Unicef, the second wave of Covid-19 in India is “almost four times the size of the first wave”, and hospitals and healthcare centres are struggling to cope. India is reporting a high number of new cases – these continue to stay above 300,000 daily and are among the world’s highest at the moment – and the country’s top health experts are speculating that the numbers could, in fact, be higher than the official figures being released to international media. Many charitable organisations, private businesses and non-governmental organisations are raising funds to donate medical supplies, oxygen tanks and other vital necessities. Not sure where to look? We’ve compiled a list of reliable fundraising measures – both in Singapore and in India – that you can donate to. Link in bio for more.
