I wish I had not gotten married. Think I will be happier single. My husband likes to blame me for everything. If cook only 2 dishes, he will criticize why did not cook 3 dishes. If cook 3 dishes, he will say 2 is enough, why have 3 dishes? It's very hard to please him, he must pick on...

Actually both Waif's & Apple's cases are not that unusual. It usually happens in very traditional families with old-fashioned attitudes regarding family ties. My in-laws also don't like my son to be close to my parents. So when we visit my parents and my son stays overnight there, we...

Hi Grace, as you've mentioned, it's probably a blessing in disguise to just withdraw your son from the childcare. Since there are already negative feelings all around, it will do your son more harm to continue with this school. As for what is "normal" behavior, I have learnt it's very...

If you are the main caregiver, then it's a bit unusual that your son would prefer someone else. But if you are a full time working mum and not the main caregiver, then it's not that uncommon. My son was also the same when he was small, between 2 full time working parents, he would prefer the...

But even we mothers also sometimes let baby cry when we are busy with cooking right? If we have to keep carrying the baby all the time, then how to get the household chores done?

Just to check - i heard that getting nanny to go to one's home to babysit, the cost is around $1300 to $1500 a month. Is this true?

Agree with luvagape that you'll continue wishing for a higher age. When my kid was 3 years old, my colleague said things will get better when they reach 10 yrs old. I held on to that hope. Well, 10 years old has come and gone and I don't think things have gotten that much better. It's just a...

Yes, she's ok now. The specialist said there's no harm about overdosing on cranberry and probiotics as these are not medicine. For maintenance, I still give her probiotics every day but at normal dosage.

Genbaby, my gal saw a specialist and went for ultrasound scan. I think cranberry juice is not sufficient cos must drink a lot to have effect. That's why I did not bother with juice at all, I gave her cranberry pills cos stronger. Even for probiotics, I double the dosage.

Have you tried cranberry and probiotics? My gal had episodes of UTI 2 yrs ago (but not urine reflex) and taking cranberry extracts and probiotics helped to clear the infection on top of the doctor's medicine.

I agree with meowie323. People always paint a rosy picture to you, telling you not to worry and that you are thinking too much. After I had my first child and was complaining to my friend how difficult it was, she told me she didn't dare tell me about the difficulties as she didn't think I...

Wow, seems most of you do mop every day. Maybe I should mop more often then. Thanks for sharing.

Just want to ask mummies here - do you mop the floor every day? My neighbour just dropped by and said I should mop the floor every day. She said she mops her floor every day. Her children are all grown-up and working and she is usually alone at home. I'm a stay home mum with 2 kids and no...

Some of my neighbors who work from home - babysitting, tailoring, hair services.. Kanec's suggestion to work in childcare is quite good, can work and look after your child at the same time.

Hi mummies Does anyone have any feedback on "Frankel Tutors" at Kembangan Plaza? They conduct group tuition for upper pri to sec school students. Thanks
