You already 5 days never spend time with your children and weekends also you refuse to.
Why you want to give birth in the first place?
Spending time with your children can prevent mental problems.

I send my 2 year old to HeGuru at midvalley. Once a week, one hr class.

Rather than wasting money on useless programs, is good to do more house activities at home. Bringing children to see their grand parents are another good idea.
For children, is good to let them play more in the beginning age, good for their brain development.
Put them to learning center will give -ve result on this.
The fact is, you are heading towards useless and irresponsible. Money can't solve anything, waste money on this is more for you to show off. You never think what is the best for your children.

The class is one hour per session and you'll need to be with the child.

Flashcards, games, story telling, history, writing, etc. All done at very fast pace and that's the intention for right brain training. Toddler class RM450/month.

I gone through some info, comparing kindergarten from different country.

In M'sia, most kindergarten tend to teach skills like reading, writing, calculate... etc
In German, the kindergarten there will bring the kids to explore around the town, visit police station (place you can seek for help), post office (place you deliver things), bomba, train station... etc

I feel that weekend is a precious time to spend with family, especially our little one.
Besides let them learning skills, I feel that bringing them to visit various place is a good exposure to them, let them know about the city they stay, if anything happen, where they can go, who they can call to seek for help.

I believe every parents is giving their best to their kids within their limit.
We cannot keep on comparing with the past, like during old time, kids swim and play in river, running around the kampung to chase after the chickens. We do not live in this environment. Besides, last time also always heard cases of kids drown...

But we still tried our best to provide our best, like bringing them to swimming class. With a certified trainer and safe environment. Attending these classes, not only the little one get to learn, but the parents get to learn at the same time, especially the new parents.

I feel that not only the kids need to learn, we as parents also need to keep up to date, expose ourself to different thing, so that we can give proper guidance to our kids.

Now most people are sending their children to kindis at the age of 4.
If our parent is advising us, we can always listen and judge.
Straight forward deny them are bad.
BTW, by looking at your reply and finding all sort of excuse, why you want a child in the first place? Just merely to show off?
Don't forget, sooner or later you will get old also, do you like that your children also ignores you at that time?

TS...u better close this topic as the replies are way off from your queries.

Answer here will never pleased any parents as they have their own opinion.

Always listen to what old men says, then judge your self.
Keeping both the young and old together will strengthen the family ties.
What you are doing now is what you will be getting next time.

Do you have a small playground at your room?
Before sleep, usually my husband and I will spend 30min-1hour, staying in the room, sing songs, read story book or play with him, then only put him to bed.

During weekend, usually morning we will go out for breakfast, then will bring him walk around at playground.
If it's a shopping week, we will go out together to shop for groceries. Else if stay home, we will let him play with his toys, lego and montessori materials. We have been trying hard to teach him to collect back his toys and put back to original place... it's really depends his mood 

Why don't you try making flashcards for a start?
I make my own flashcards from wild animals, ABCs, numbers, transportations, occupations, fruits & vegetables, flags etc etc.
One day flash like 50 to 100cards and trust me, babies can know what you are showing to them.
I continued doing so and increased the number of cards after first flashing around 20+cards to my 9month old girl and she can correctly point out all the cards after few days. She can't talk or walk yet at that time but would stare tentively at what you show them. So doing this earlier the better because as they grow, they can't concentrate so much as they will be walking around.
I have now made more than 1000cards and still growing.
It's cheaper this way and you can choose what you want to teach your kid.

It's OK if they don't show any response but they know what you taught them. They will only respond when they are happy or in the mood to play with you and that's the time you can test them.
