I love space. Living in a tightly packed city, space is a real luxury. When we picked our new house, we look for ideal units with unblocked view as this gives a sense of space. However, when you have young children in the house, their safety takes priority. Parents with young children should consider putting in some …
I have always view credit cards as just another means of payment and a way of redeeming shopping vouchers with points accumulated from using the card. So I have always tried to concentrate spending on one or two cards and have not signed up new cards for a few years. Recently, however, I signed up …
I did an earlier post introducing Daddy Matters and what the community is about. Today I want to blog about why it matters to have this community. Life is full of ups and downs. This goes for life of a Daddy too. A positive mindset is essential to positive parenting. But with the stress of …

How many of us flash cards to our babies before age 1? Or bring them to extra classes by age 2? I’m sure many parents in Singapore do. It’s become second nature to us to be kiasu for our children, trying to give them what we perceived as advantage. I’m guilty of this myself. So …
I have always resisted installing window grilles. The sight of grilles makes the house looked caged. Plus my living room has almost full length windows, so it seems down right ugly to install grilles on them. But alas the time have come to sacrifice for our boys, again. While it was manageable for two of us to watch over …
I got a surprised facebook friend’s request recently from my university’s course-mate’s sister. It’s surprising because we haven’t kept in touch since year 2000 when she went to visit her sister in Sydney. Actually she found me by chance as she was looking to invite daddies who blogs about parenting to a Daddy Bloggers Get Together organised by …

As a second-time parent, I thought I am fairly experienced and prepared to welcome Lucas. I had my hospital bag packed and ready, my mindset tuned for sleepless nights ahead and more chores to be done. But it’s different this time, very different.
