Hi Kiran, I stay in Katong too. I've just sent my daughter to the playgroup in seeds. Chose seeds coz its very near to my place, and that my neighbour's son was there due to recommendation from a friend as well. Why dun you visit the school and speak to the person in charge before making...

Joy747, Happy Lunar New Year. I almost fell into depression coz of my former maid who was with me for near two months. After she left, I realised that one pc of my mil's pyjamas set that I kept as a rememberance got stolen. Few weeks ago, we found money hidden in the flower pot, when my dd...

Aidanee, My dd went thru the said phase for 2 weeks few months back. Could it be teething? U just got to be more patient during this period. Feed him with more milk if he is eating lesser. If its the case of teething, the phase will soon be over and they would get their appetite back.

Claerwen, Thanks for the useful itineries suggestion. It has helped us with our planning a great deal. Mommies, 1) Could anyone advise the website, location, or the name of the sunflower farm? Is it worth a visit? 2) Is Strawberry field worth visiting? 3) If we visit Lavender &amp...

Oh, on the positive note, she has the best English proficiency despite being in Singapore for less than 3 months(2 months with 1st employer). Ironically, couldn't make full use of it since she lied about every other matters (incl. casual chat). Hence, communication breakdown. Also, strangely...

Patsy, So, yr dd's name is Patsy? haha..I think Sarah is a really sweet name. My hb and I thought abt this name at the same time while on the flight. Can you imagine? :-)) Good for you! :-) Tamarind/Patsy/Lani, Oh yes, I do make sure their well being is taken care off. Even when I was in...

I'm really worried that I would have the same/other types of problems with the next maid. Changing few maids within a short span of time is no joke. While I would provide for my maid and ensure that her well being is taken care of. E.g I told her to let me know if there's anything that she...

Mommies, Realized that my maid dun really play with my dd. This afternoon, she gave her a stack of flash cards and let her play with it. While, I'm having my lunch, she would carry my dd away and "hide" at the other corner of patio (where nobody could see) looking outside till I finish my...

Lani/Tamarind, You ladies are right. I've done wrong since the beginning REPEATEDLY. I should have made sure that they tuned to WORK mode since day 1. Keep them on the toes till they are familiar with our requirements and standards. Then, befriend them when I get to know them better...

Coffeedrinker, Guess gals expressed their shyness differently. But is that a sign of growing up, hence the ability to differentiate not only people, but places? My gal once reacted very strongly to her grandauntie for a period of time. She would cry unconsolably once she spotted the...

Tamarind, Since she admitted that she lied, I asked her to wash the toilet right away. She was in the toilet for a while, came back and said washed. I checked and to my disappointment, she lied again!! When I followed her to get the cleaning tools, realized that she hasn't been brushing the...

Tamarind, Thanks for sharing with us abt using WP online to check history. I did what you taught last time and hence knew that my 1st and 2nd maid got kicked out by their next employer after me within 1-2 months. Guess what. I left for my lunch just now and came back to find that she did not...

Lani/Tamarind/KC, I am really hesitant to change as she's my 4th maid within 6 months. I sent my 1st maid away for telling a lie abt the capsicum (she got sent away by her next employer). 2nd maid (Myanmar) coz she has no initiative, wanted to colour her hair red and looked for Singapore...

Raisntan, Yes it persisted for two weeks like what yr PD said. Wow, So accurate...

Clarences mum, Thanks for the good recommendation. Good choice of location and product. Best Wishes! Eileen(littledarl), I had the same problem like you a month+ ago. My dd rejected her usual food and all new recipes I came out with. Feeding her was a nightmare as it took 1-1.5hrs to...
