Hi mel928! :) I agree with abbba that it's more stressful for your child to need to adjust to both a nanny and going to CC, yet at the same time, I can understand your concerns of rushing to pick up your child by 7pm. In the early days when my firstborn had just gone to CC, we kept kenna...

Actually it's not that rare for parents to catch HFMD from their kids. I know so many moms and dads who have! Tungchia, Your hubby trying to be funny hor?! Lol

Oh, don't be too surprised. My hubs caught HFMD from one of the boys when they caught it from school. My #2 even caught HFMD twice! Different strains cos he has different symptoms, but still!

OMG pnut! I hope you're all better now! It sounds really terrible. It's not dengue is it? tungchia2301, I'm not an "experienced mommy". Just anyhow 混过去 one lah. hahaha But you will realise the noise level between 1, 2 and 3 kids is erm... vastly noticeable. :p My #1 has skipped pri school...

OMG CONGRATS!!! This is a great age gap between the two, they grow up together and develop a strong bond. Not so great for parents though, too close very tired lah. Lol. You are not recovered yet as well? Please rest well, eat well, feel well. Pregnancy hormones are like… URGH (for lack of a...

Oh dear. That does not sound good at all! Hope both of you get well soon, and don't pass to the husband when he gets back! Maybe both of you can just cuddle all day and sleep, since you're both infected anyway. :p My girl caught a bug too last Thurs. Had runny nose and was coughing through the...

It's been awfully quiet here. I'm assuming all the kiddos have settled in good and well? Hope all of you had an enjoyable long weekend over Good Friday. Another public holiday coming next week! :D

I'm sure once she settles in and gets tired, she will nap eventually. Maybe she just "recognises" beds (认床). My girl never settles in when we travel. The first night she is always such a pain, staying up and fussing til 2-3am or later! Then when she starts to settle in, it's always time to go...

An update on today's CC status: #3 is skipping school due to a slight fever caused by vaccination on Saturday. Yesterday I asked her if she wanted to go to school tomorrow, she said "No!" while furiously shaking her head. lol I'm not keen on the idea of picking her up halfway through the...

Where do you live? Sounds like heaven, not having to queue at all 3 CCs in your area! I thought I was living in an aging estate (at least 60% old folks here) but still the demand is high! Probably due to new housing estate in the area in recent years (City View @ Boon Keng) and maybe some kids...

Hmmm I am just wondering about her digestive system. Because my #1 is like this too, and doctor said some kids just have "sluggish digestive system" so things take a while to move to the back end. :D In fact, even at 7 years old, my #1 is still only pooping every 2-3 days. Doc also mentioned it...

Eh... then I guess you stay in Sengkang/Punggol area? Cos when I was on the phone with First Skool, they told me the centre near me 90 pax wait list is considered OKAY liao hor. Cos Sengkang/Punggol area centres are minimum 150 pax wait list.... :p I agree on the perks of being a SAHM! When the...

Tungchia, Constipation? Check her formula milk? My #1 used to have that problem too, along with frequent phelgmy cough. When we switched him to UHT milk packs completely, it was cured! I am not power. Just powerless to change the situation. Haizzzz

Marc Jacob, Actually I went through the exact same thing with First Skool. The centre manager told me waiting list is 90 pax long, as some parents already out their 2012 kids on the list since 2011 - before the babies were even born!! Really super kiasu. Personally I feel most of the CC with...

Mine has been taking the school bus all week without incident - except Wed morning when she insisted on bringing her unfinished breakfast up the bus... I had to find a small container to let her "ta bao" the biscuits. She was never one to waste food! In fact, she was the one shouting "faster...
