morning all!!
delfine, oo, hehee! my #1 helps me a lot hahaa, though he's 3 yo, he do help me in certain things la, like watching out for #2 when i busy in the kitchen or help me to get diapers, etc. Then when mei mei cried, he will tell me "mei mei cried" and run to the room to see. Try to get ur #1 to involve in certain things esp it's for #2, and always telling #1 he/she is a kor kor or jie jie, must take care of meimei/didi. Normally the older ones will feel they are part of the family and more than willing to help out.
chil, avent got 2 types of bpa free bottles, one in honey coated and the other in milky coated. the milky coated ones come with add. ring and is slightly cheaper than honey coated ones. Tat add. ring must put in if not it will leak. It's meant to prevent colic or something.
delfine, it's time to change your avent bottles.
RE:MIL
Clare, my mil is nice too but she's super clean freak la. She always commented our hse not clean enuff, faint! Ok lor, if she think out hse not clean enuff, then clean for us lor, *evil me*!
But she's a very good cook, I'm a lover for her nice dishes!! When i preg, she will always boil soups for me to drink. It's my sil that is monster in the making. I don't like my sil cos she always think just cos she became a mother few yrs earlier than me, she knows everything!! Like real! I remember during my #1 times, cos my bm ss was low, she keep nagging to me that cfm will have lotsa of supply one this and tat, everytime see me everytime nag me the same thing! I was so pissed and i literally told my mil (in front of her) that not every woman will have a lot of bm ss! being a first time mother tat time, i literally taking care of my #1 alone w/o any help, lack of sleep is already affecting my bm ss and my ss didnt come in fast tat time as well!! She tot everyone will be the same, of cos she will think like dat la cos right from the start, my mil was the one taking care of her bb 24/7 and she is just a milk cow in her room pumping milk out! there is a lot of things abt her that mi and dh don't agree on (ya, my ah lau oso bth his own sis!) and she always try to be act expert in motherhood! Anyway a lot of her advices i just one ear in one ear out cos some advices really cannot take in and absorb.
Sometime i really cant stand her, how can she go out to enjoy when my mil was having bad flu and also taking care of my nephew? What kind of mother is she? This happened when i still preg with my #1, even till now her son in P3, sometime she will just go out and enjoy herself and leave the care to my mil, cant stand this kind of pple who take own mother for granted. And the way she bring up her son (she's a divorcee), I think sooner or later her son will become ah beng! No manners, telling lies, the ears dono go where (too stubborn to listen), act smart (just like his mother) and always trying to irritate pple and also provoke my son to fight or quarrel with him.
Worse still, the way my sil do disclpine on her own son is wrong, up to now, her son dono what is right or wrong cos of the method my sil used, first she don bother and just tell her son let it be so her son think he is in the right, next moment she start to cane him, so her son is confused, is he right or wrong? Same thing happen again, her son think he is in the wrong, then later my sil instead of canning him, tell him it's ok, so he think he is in the right. I mean wat i'm trying to say is, she is confusing her son with the right or wrong in the same thing happening few times and that y her son think he always right when we adults told him it's wrong.
Sorry for ranting, cos i really bth my sil's ways of doing things.
