Haha najmom, I get the same question as you from strangers and hawkers too, once i replied a woman, "Err.. half of these children are mine and half are my husband's".. She broke out into laughter and I just kept quiet.. hehe..
Hey m&m,
I stayed in SH for 2 years and that time, I only had 2 kids.. I already got all the stares and weird looks and they always asked me if my 2 girls are twins( my girls are 2 yrs apart, and one was toddling while the other was walking by herself):0 . Some asked where we were from, what my hb was doing in SH and HOW MUCH we were paid.. haha.. they must be thinking we are very well off to have 2 kids! So hb and i didn't answer them aft a while( v rude of us, but they were not offended)
I can understand the irritating smoke everywhere
and the dirty toilets.. one thing I missed there is the fresh vegetables and fruits in season. My hb loves the Bi4 Feng1 Tang2 dim sum.. yumz
hang in there najmom and m&m,
Very fast your babies will grow up and it'll be lots of fun.. It's normal to feel depressed aft birth. It took me abt 6 months, and hb was always traveling. Even up till now, some days I look like a crazy woman shouting and screaming for things to get done and esp when I m tired.. I pray and ask God for strength and patience daily..
Hey chris,
ya, my no. 2 and 3 are very active too,. so I let my no.3 do puzzles by himself , told him i'll reward him by giving a sweet or go down to scoot on the skate scooter when i'm free. Maybe you can try simple puzzles for your no. 3?
Take care and jia you
