    Advice to Parents whose children are going to Pri 1

    Apologies to augustmum! The accolades were meant for you haha. I too have sacrificed my job for my kids. Too tired to be anywhere close to being fun and creative otherwise. Catharine, hang in there. Know moms who did not do anything until P1 then struggled to supervise and teach and still did...

    Advice to Parents whose children are going to Pri 1

    Hi Catherine, Good job! Your son owes you big time. Big sacrifice on your part though, but no doubt worth it. I am somewhat like you as in I'm the one who teach my kids to read and write. If I had left it just to school, dont think they would have gotten too far. ;P But started...

    Ya must teach kid to wipe his own backside if not already doing so. As for buying food, am expecting a few laughs. My friend told me her P1 kid brought a dollar to school and a dollar home. But insisted he bought something to eat. Another time he overpaid hee hee.

    Hi Hong, He will mutter "But... what" (emphasis on "what" in Singlish way =P). Flick his spoon coz we force him to finish last mouthful (oops!) There are other examples, but at this point, seem not to be able to recall... Also throw toy on floor if ask him to stop play for bedtime. You're...

    Dear all, Let me share with you the irony of it all. Yesterday after i posted my nice positive mssg, found myself texting to hubby: "So so mad with (son). The minute you are nice to him, he starts his nonsense again. What with sticking my keys in soap, and talking back." =P Boy does such...

    Think Hong's method sounds sensible. Must know how to hong3 (haha excuse the pun, "coax") kids. Like for my son, his swimming lesson is only 45 min, piano only 30 min.
