Hi Lydia, haha... all is quite well... baby is 10 months old already. How time flies! To think I started posting in this thread when I just got pregnant with her. I am so glad to have her. She brought lots of joy to the family :D. As usual, the house is perpetually full of noise, fights n...

hi mommies, my #3 is June 07, also in his terrible twos(threes) stage now! He is super stubborn and I had to cane him coz he would attack my #2 gal. She is always very nice to him, so he would bully her. He would go and bite her or kick or without any reason at all. I reckon he wants her...

Hi Vivienne, wow, the age gap of your kids is 1 yr apart for all! It must be tough to cope. Do you have any help? I have a part time helper who does housework. I am a SAHM, how about you?

Hi Constance! welcome to the club! Many of us have 4 kids in this thread too. My youngest is 9 month old and my eldest is P2 and I have 4 kids too. We are living overseas w/o our family now. It is chaotic indeed, tell me about it. Hahaha.....

Hello everyone! How are all the mommies doing? Noticed that this thread has been very quiet for months... guess everyone is busy with kids in school, huh? Hope everyone is getting on great.

hi mommies, Happy Chinese New Year! Thanks, Chris & najmom. I am fine now... kept taking panadols for 2 days and fed the gal continuously. Managed to clear the clot. Whew! I was very busy the past week coz my day helper here in SH has gone back to her hometown for 9 days to spend...

hi najmom, glad to see you back in action again... I kena blocked ducts yesterday and broke out in chills n fever last night. Aiyoh... now whole body aching. Hubby came from Sg for just 1 day and he flew off again this morning. Sigh.... BTW, I can access facebook now! Yeah... I downloaded a...

Hi Chris, I did what you did as well... referring the kids to daddy whenever they fight. I just felt that it is hard to mediate between the older kids. Either way, one of them will feel unfairly treated. So recently, I tell them to settle it themselves since daddy is constantly travelling and...

Hi Choc06, I din know you stayed in SH before as well. So you can totally understand my situation now, hahaha... These Chinese are really strange, right? In Taiwan, we also always get strangers asking us how much salary is my hubby drawing, how much is our rental, etc... we also ignored them...

Hi Najmom, I am feeling just like you... depressed on some days and fine on others... I am also struggling with my emotions. I felt that I went thru a lot with this pregnancy... moving from Taipei to Shanghai, dealing with mil's r/s, hubby's constant travelling... I felt like I am handling...

Thanks for sharing, Lydia, Choc06 & Chris... so glad to know I am not alone. I kept wondering if I am difficult to live with, which resulted in the sour r/s with my mil. Things got quite bad between us after her stay here. From the day she came, she made a lot of comments which made me feel...

Thanks Lydia. Till now, my gal's sleeping timing is still not consistent, so it can be quite hard to get ard a routine yet. My mil left suddenly 2 weeks ago and I had to scramble to get a daytime helper to come in on that very day. My helper basically helps me with the laundry, housework and...

Thanks Choc06, najmom & Lydia for the sharing. It makes me feel a lot more assured and normal that I am not the only one who has to 'work' during confinement. Perhaps I am not totally past my postnatal blues but I am pretty perturbed by small trivial issues and this happens to be one of...

hi Choc06, Happy New Year to you too! Your description of how you did your confinement and the situation at home seems almost like what I am going thru now! Haha... at least I know I am not the only one. My #3 also needs help with going to the toilet and I had to bathe him in the evenings too...

I was bathing my #3 yesterday and started to wonder if the rest of you mommies who had many kids are like me. I mean, we can't possible stick strictly to the usual confinement practice and do nothing but stay in bed all day long for 1 month, right? My china ayi (helper) kept commenting that I am...

hi najmom, mil is here to cook, so I just have to basically care for the baby but it has been tiring taking care of her whole night. Hubby usually does the diaper changing at night but now I hv to do it. I m going to bathe her the 1st time today too coz hubby has been doing it since day 1...

hi najmom, my hubby has been on leave since I delivered as well but he will be going back to work tomorrow, in fact, travelling again for 4 days. My mil is here to cook for me. Other than that, diapering n bathing are handled by hubby and myself. I know how you are feeling coz I m feeling...

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to mommies here! Bet the house must be bustling with kids' laughter with all the presents today! Hi najmom, anyone helping with you with confinement? Hope you have a great time with your 5 precious gifts too :D!

Thanks Jas! Time to consider another one?!? I am so thankful for my #4. It feels so heartwarming to carry a newborn again tho it was only 2.5 yrs ago that I had my #3.

Congrats, najmom! Now, our babies' birthdays are 6 days apart! So happy for you that it is finally over also... ahh... now it is back to breastfeeding days ah? I also had bad engorgement on day 4... tried pumping with my manual Avent pump w/o success. Hurt like crazy. Then I started using my...
