Hi mummies,
Good Monday to all and thanks for the warm welcome.
Twins are double-edged swords. Yah, the advantages are 1 pregnancy ‘gao dim’, double the joys etc but also very tough to cope especially when our #1 was only 21 mths when the twins were born, so he was just starting his terrible two. There were times when hubby and I felt we were pushed to the limits of our endurance on so many levels.
Anyway, at the end of the day, we know we’re very blessed with 3 healthy kids so we just do what we gotta do lah!
Sometimes, I wished they will all grow up faster and be a little more independent but then reading your posts and also talking to friends and colleagues made me realize that once reached pri school is no joke and parents get so stressed. I don’t really hear this from parent friends with school going kids in the US or Europe – guess, it’s the price our kids have to pay for living in Asia.
mumusings,
I hate lizards myself but don’t have the courage to whack them with newspaper. One fell on my shoulder once during my schooling days and I still remember that sensation….yucks.
At our previous place, there was also a resident big fat lizard and we bought lizard traps to catch. For a few days, nothing then my mum told must put some strong smelling food. I put dried shrimps and next day, the bugger really fell for it.
Helen,
Yeah, I am reading and taking notes…hehe. I think I have potential to be a semi-tiger mum although my hubby is complete opposite. Will see how that pans out in the future…
Fairyprincess, Bloom,
Same here, love gerberas – hence the nick
They are such cheerful flowers!
My twins go to nanny’s place, together with my helper. Every morning, must do 2 pit-stops, first to nanny, then to DS1 CC, then to work. Mad rush.
