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.

"Dear Husband,⁠ Last night you came into the kid

"Dear Husband,⁠
Last night you came into the kids’ room during our bedtime reading asking where the adhesive tape was as you couldn’t find it in the drawer where we usually keep it. I told you it was on the kids’ bookshelf. You took the tape while muttering in annoyance, “Can we just put things back where they are supposed to be?” Well, I wish to explain why I hadn’t returned the adhesive tape to where it was supposed to be.⁠
⁠
You see, after the usual morning rush to get our son ready for the school bus picking him up at 630am for primary school and after you had rushed off for work, I heard a wail from our daughter’s room when I was filling her water bottle and getting her pre-school uniform while in-between bites and gulps of my toast and lukewarm coffee. I ran to investigate and found her distraught over her favourite book (which she had intended to take to school today) that had come apart. I took the adhesive tape from the drawer and mended the book. We were running late, but I had her dress and use the toilet, then packed her book and water bottle and drove her to her pre-school.⁠
⁠
When I came home, I worked on my laptop for an hour while sipping the now cold coffee...."⁠
In the lead up to Mother's Day, we thought it appropriate to reshare this piece that talks about the invisible workload that many mums bear - researching paraben-free shampoo, ordering groceries, rejigging kids' schedules, and 99 other daily things that often go unnoticed.

Heard the news about the new PSLE scoring system,

Heard the news about the new PSLE scoring system, mamas? This new system (taking effect this year) scores each standard-level PSLE subject using eight bands known as Achievement Levels (AL), so each student will be given AL scores from 1 to 8 for each subject, totalling the PSLE score as the sum of the AL of each of the students’ four subjects. It's been over 15 years since I took the PSLE, but I still remember the stress I felt while waiting for my T-score back then! It's too early for me to worry about how this new system will affect my daughter (who's only almost 2 at the moment) so we reached out to other Singaporean mamas in our circles to hear what they thought about the change. Plus there's a helpful score calculator we've included so you can predict how your child will fare based on their current subject performance -- link in bio for more. So what do you think about it? Will this new scoring system be more or less stressful for your kids?
