Hi Mom Mom,
South Bay係咪SF定係其他City我都慢慢要認識其他地方位置,我未有車牌所以遲一步都就要去考啦?妳囝囝4歲係咪返緊pre-school?我知道e度5歲先入幼稚園.我先生係十幾歲開始係美國長大.但男人對屋企小朋友等好多嘢都想女人去理.我哋個囡囡係第一個baby,所以我自己要去學識湊小朋友之外又要識係美國點居住,認識生活環境才可以幫我小朋友.我去年七月嚟美國..好多嘢都未去認識(因為顧湊囡先),跟住十二月我又同個囡返咗HK二月個(太掛住自已爸媽,屋企人同朋友)..從來都冇諗會嫁去第二度住.所以二月份再返到嚟,我開始覺得要認識點係美國居住生活,個囡慢慢大我要帶住佢,老公要返工嘛!!我好開心找到e個美國媽媽會,有好多媽媽指教同分享,令我有好多得着!!YEAH

Btw, I am using iPad, typing Chinese will take me a lot of time. Typing English is fine?

South Bay = south of the SF Bay Area. Cities like San Jose, Milpitas, Cupertino, Sunnyvale are in South Bay. East bay cities: Fremont, Union City, Oakland etc. Peninsula: Belmont, Redwood City etc.

Yeah, you will need a driving license. The public transportation is not as nice as SF city.

Yeah, my son is in pre-school now. He has been in Daycare since 11th month and join the pre-school when he turned 3. If you are not working, you don't need to send your kid to daycare, but if you like, you can send your BB to playgroups etc. Usually people here send their kids to pre-school when the kids are 3 or 4 yr old.

Actually it is not bad to live in San Jose. Many Asians here and it is not hard if you need to buy some Chinese or Asians stuff. So it would be easier for u to adapt. I guess I came here for too long so I probably can't adapt to live in HK now. :)

妳打英文當然OK啦!Ha..多謝妳explain我有d 方向啦,我諗我睇下NBC weather TV再認清位置東南西北先hehe!原來e度都興playground,我真係要開始留意下啦!我都會覺得HK生活係多姿多彩.但有咗family同小朋友,環境舒服平淡,其實會更識合!

Hello ah KellyIcy. Welcome to the Bay Area ah. I'm not living in San Jose either, but just 45 minutes away (San Ramon which is in East Bay). I have a 3.5 year old boy. I'm working full time, but I have my parents take care of him; so, he only goes to preschool part time (half day program).

I understand that start new life in an new area is not easy ... especially need to take care of a little one, but in Bay Area is not too bad already ... lots of Chinese around the area, and lots of Chinese restaurant for hometown food ... haha, just don't expect the quality as good as in HK.

I would think go to local library or park during day time, should have some moms there with their young kid(s). Also, check out some playgroup/class (like http://www.gymboreeclasses.com/index.jsp or little gym). That's one of the way for full time mom to meet new friends in US.

I also like the 多姿多彩 life in HK, we all had fun in HK during our vacation back in November. However, I like the life style here for kid to growth ... more simple ma. Hope you can get used to your new life here soon la. When the weather become nicer in spring & summer time, you probably can take your little one to zoo or aquarium ... more outdoor activities in US than in HK.

Thanks HappyMatt,
好多謝妳的意見,我都正打算幫囡囡揾些playgroup class資料,真係太好啦!我住嘅付近都有park和local library我會常試去打法下時間同接觸人,不過我未有車牌,所以都要等我老公有時間先可以車我去,其實我都晤想旨意佢,我想我會快d考個車牌,到時自己想去邊都得!聽到妳時在職媽媽,有時我都會幾羨慕,其實我是喜歡有自已工作自己收入的,我想如果我依加是住在香港我晤會是全職媽媽!!但我跟在老公黎美國,我冇得選擇,因為我依加跟本冇工可以做,所以我唯有尊心做個全職媽媽啦!都係一份開心工作,而且我都打算生多一個.等真係d小朋友大d我會想工作!我都覺得係San Jose住都有好多Chinese stuffs and food可以買得到,我地間中都會出街食飯,飲茶等,而我對食要求不是太高,所以覺得樣樣都OK.依加我最注重都係個囡各事項,湊小朋友真係大把嘢要去學.真係好開心同妳分享和得到意見!yeah

Hi KellyIcy, 你好!
學懂開車響美國邊樹住都好重要0嫁。冇車開又冇退休人士0甘多時間，就等於冇左對腳0甘唔方便。
如果你老公響美國有左超過五年以上0既駕駛車牌，佢自己都可以教你開車，你自己去考車牌。唔使花錢畀人（開車師傅）賺。我老公當年自己教我開車0既。我地當年得一部車，所以，有時我開車送左老公翻工先，我再自己開車翻學。有時老公送我翻學先，然後自己開車翻工。睇家裡各人D 時間如何就最好。

我依家系：
老婆揾$揹起成個家, 老公係家庭主男同湊細路。有無擂同？

我有認識左十年0既朋友響聖荷西，南灣住。我一得閑就一家大細開車去佢地屋企滾搞下佢地。
佢地響南灣住左二十幾年喇。
佢地兩公婆好熱心幫人，好好客。向公園行都可以識到中國人朋友0既。

I have 3 daughters.

Yeah, my husband takes a lot of responsibility and work load upon his own shoulder due to what I think the reason is that he set the standard very high. He also home school to our 3 children. A lot of work.

mouth:
I support whatever he does as long as it is not a sin.

KellyIcy,

San Jose is big ... Which part of San Jose do you live?
East San Jose - more Vietnamnese, but more Chinese now if in the Evergreen district.
South San Jose - near Los Gatos, more White.
West San Jose - near Cupertino, Saratoga and Campbell. more diversified. if in the Cupertino district, mostly Chinese and Indians.
North San Jose - near Milpitas, mostly Chinese and more Indians now. if in Berryessa area, mostly Chinese and Vietnamnese.

ndw, just read your other post. your husband is truly amazing as taking care of a family is not as easy as people think.

i work full time and sometimes i'd rather be at work than being with the kids as they're too demanding.

加油 to your family, your daughters will be so proud of their parents.

babytomato,
Thank you for the encouragement.
I know, being a full time care taker and education provider to our children need a whole different set of mentality.

Originally, we plan on me as a wife to take this position. However, in reality, things are not always going our ways.
My husband and I take turn to outburst our emotion and say things that we did not mean to hurt each other.
Last Sunday, I was the one being dump on. When I realized what was happening, I stopped saying anything back.

The good part is that my husband apologized to me within one hour after he had a brake down. He hugged me and said sorry to dump on me. I said we should have a hug in front of our children because they saw Daddy was very angry at Mommy and they may feel uncertain of our relationship. So, when our children saw we hugged and they all want to join our huddle. At the end, we all hugged and laughed together.

The children, constantly yell at each other, complained other to us as parents. (告狀). They drive us parents nut. And my husband does not spoiled them either. That made our parenting work even harder because children always challenge parents limit. They need our attention all the time.

I don't need to say much, I know you know.
