RE: Kids pretending
Kieran is only 9 mths but he sure knows how to 'kay kay'. For instance, when he doesn't wanna eat smthg anymore, he'll cough n cough n cough. COs he knows last time whenever he coughs, we get real gan cheong, scare he'll puke (puking is his fav past time). So he's using tis trick to stop us from feeding him. At 1st we really thot he had a cough but each time, when we remove him from high chair, he stops coughing liao.

B2,
Just now was a bit rush for me, need to attend a briefing, just want to share this with u:
what u mentioned is very true, i find tt if i walk away and come back later, i can deal with the matter better. There was this time YH refused to eat his porridge after 2-3 mouthfuls, i was very frustrated with him, i spent so much time preparing the porridge for him and yet he refused to eat after 2 mouthfuls! I kept trying to put the spoon into his mouth, he just refused to open his mouth, after a few times, he started to scream and push the spoon out with his tongue if i managed to put the spoon inside his mouth. He screamed until so loud tt my part-time helper who was with us during then and my hb had to come out and see what happened. My part-time helper advised me to pour the porridge back into the slow cooker and feed him later. Hubby carried YH away fr me and played with him. After tt, i really feel very bad, how can i force him to eat?!?!? Like what u said, some of these things r common sense, but when i was directly involved in the situation, i just cldnt see tt i shld stop feeding him.
While hubby was playing the keyboard with YH, he was in a very good mood, so i took the opportunity to feed him the porridge again, and this time he finished up the whole bowl! I was really delighted, coz i had already lowered my expectation to half a bowl, as long as he can finish half the bowl of porridge i would be very satisfied, and the bonus was, he was even willing to drink water after the porridge!
After this incident, i kept reminding myself if YH fussed a lot over his feed, i will stop and come back later.
Thanks for sharing the part on flaring up in front of the kid, so far i hv not flared up in front of YH yet, and i hope i wont, it will break my heart to know tt YH will want to avoid me if i do.
I really apprec ur sharing very much, do share with us more. Thanks

i believe ur incident happened to many mummies here... maybe in different case. like u said, said easily than done. i am thinking hard how to solve this, after listening to b2, i have a solution.... i.e. before i lose my cool... i will quickly go to toilet and concentrate on my bowel movement....

deer,
Wat u described abt feeding YH was exactly wat i went thru. I got so MAD each time i fed him. N i hated it when hubby came n 'rescued' Kieran. I felt so so lousy, machaim i'm the step mum. It was so bad until it was like going to a battle when it's feeding time. I really dreaded feeding Kieran. At least u'll calm enuf to walk away. Stupid me kept on persisting to feed him until i couldn't tahan, i screamed at him. Nearly slapped him on the face.

skyblue and deer,
err, not sure if you would like to adapt this method. I always tell Gareth, if you don't want to eat, forget it. and then I will just go and let him be hungry. Then when he's very hungry he will come and ask for food by crying. Think by now i can differential the different kind of cry liao.
By doing this, I don't lose my cool infront of my boy. That's what my grandma did to me last time. haha

Shook,
Chen Chen also same same huh? Yeah, maybe YH also likes crowd, maybe he likes the warmth of pple surrounding him, even when they r not paying their attendion on him???
I apologise to YH also whenever i hv nasty thots or when my tone was too harsh .... same as u, they r so helpless, how can we be so nasty right? But on the other hand, i m also afraid tt this kind of "they r so innocent/helpless" thinking will make me spoil him .... i must really read up and see how i shld teach/discipline him .... sometimes i really cant differentiate whether this is a case tt i shld put my foot down, or i shld just let go ... or whether they know i mean business since they r so young????
U woke up for so many hrs last nite? Must be very tired today. Did u hv a nap during lunch? Most prob not, coz u were bz posting, try to sleep early tonite if possible .... hope Chen Chen can be guai guai tonite.

Hubby usueally played with YH 1 hr b4 his sleeping time .... so if this is not the cause, then dunno why he wake up and cry at nite .... never know tt bringing up a kid is like solving mystery, one after another .... last time our grandmothers had so many kids, dunno how they handle????

skyblue,
I went thru exactly wat u r gg thru and share same sentiments with you. So now, when he screams I juz smile n say "wow...Randall so loud ah?" Distract him a bit like pointing to the tv programme or books. Seems to work and most imptly, Randall is "seeing" a happy smily mummy n not mummy who always frown at him.
But I always wonder, how long do I have to continue doing tat? Y cant he be like other bbs? be more tam jiak then I wont hv such prob.

Jo,
U r really funny leh ... concentrate in ur bowel movement ... u mean feeding ZL actually made u want to poo ... hahah ...
Think B2 wanna collect tution fees fr us liao
Skyblue,
We same same, scared our son skinny skinny, so must feed them no matter what, we too kiasu liao, so more diff to feed.
I was not calm enuff to walk away, it was my part-time helper who asked me to feed later. I was really glad tt it happened to be the day my part-time helper came, she taught me an invaluable lesson. Otherwise i will still be tt 'step mum' who forced YH to eat. I guess if i have done the fedding with my mum around, i would hv learnt the lesson fr her, but it was always my mum feed YH when i m working, and when it comes Sat and Sun, my mum is not around, she hasnt seen how i feed YH b4, otherwise i would hv kena scolding fr her for forcing YH to eat.
U shld try out what B2 'teach', think it will work. Try what i did, ask ur hubby to play with him, and u feed him at the same time.
Actually i m not in favour of this method, coz i feel tt eating shld be just eating, shldnt play, or watch tv at the same time. But since YH so diff to feed, i give in liao, if he can eat better with playing and without me loosing my sanity, i will just let him play. But i wont let him eat and run around when he can walk or run. Hope i can really enforce this.
Pigletz,
Ur method is good also, but hor, when YH really hungry, feeding porridge to him become impossible, coz it's too slow to fill up his stomach, he will cry and kick and arch his body, diff to feed porridge in this manner. So must feed milk liao when he is too hungry.
San lao jin hor ....

Hi mommies,
Lyn, I think I know how you feel. My boss also think I am very eng... everytime surf net that he has got me involved in his 2 other businesses. So more work liao. In addition, he hinted to me that the staff are surfing the net all day and clogging the server. Then he removed everyone's access. So, I reminded him that he remove my access I cannot check exchange rates for him. He immediately turned my access on again. hehheehe..
eureka, think you may have to put one special room as "photgraphy" room for your hb to spend time with the subject (i.e. our bbs) and then he'll be able to photograph for us.
Hey! Must remember to take group photo. I think I may just drop by for a while to pay shook and get some pics of ethan taken by your hb. eheheehee... Will have to check with the bride 1st. <soooo...>
viv, when will u be holding the celebrations for Jana? Remember to take pic hor... Then we can see how grand it is and learn from there.
Oh viv, I am also preparing some activities for the little ones. Have bought t-shirts for them and also fabric markers so that they can draw and create their own shirts. Am going to get Ethan to do one too so that he'll be able to see how 'well' he can draw at age one. heheee....
Another idea... for future parties.... you can also buy the white mugs and special markers from www.plumandpeaches.com.sg if you need. This idea maybe used when the kids are older... or they may break the mugs.
I am still having a headache about the birthday cake... don't know where to order... can someone plssss... give some advice?
B2B3M4, thanks for your timely advice. I actually think I don't have to get the book lah... coz, you are sure to update us on anything interesting and also, with all the talk going around and with about 30 families here teaching and advising live, I think I am quite covered.
Am so glad we have found each other.

Yap, we dunno when to put dwn our foot n mean business to our bb. Sometimes they seems to understand, sometimes they dun. I juz follow my mum's q since she is n experienced bbsitter. She said when Chen Chen is older, she will cane or use cane to threaten if he is noti.
Once I met a mum of 2. She taught me to let toddler face the wall as punishment. She said max 15min. But Eureka said not workable leh
Chen Chen wakes up @ least once @ 9 for feeding. Usually twice. Normally both of us zz after feeding. But tis morning he refused to sleep. My mum said he slept till 10am after I left the hse. Normally he sleeps till 9am.
BB during our grandma's time seems more guai
Jo
I meant Lyn will say choy choy choy when u said skarly ZL sxxk.... then can't go eureka's hse
Lyn
Yeah, I wz wondering how come u so quiet today. Thot u on 1/2 leave or wat
Mom2Nat

Mom2Nat
Eureka invites every1. U come lar
When u touch Singapore?
Eureka,
So what's written on Rae rae's report card?? No kitty hair clip please?
Deer,
think when bbs grow up.. their dreams become more vivid... (they start to dream when in our tummy leh) I guess if it really escalate to a point like rae's one.. then mebbe got to be concern n make sure they dun hurt themselves while dreaming.. if not, usual time Jem will also suddenly shout/cry in his sleep but he will fall asleep again on his own or look for his teddy for comfort.
Lyn,
aiyah.. gonna miss u leh if u dun come in often..
i think i remember mom2nat mentioned reaching SIN on Saturday..
HI mummies,
can share share something with me?
I'll like to know what will the concerns be to considerate having a no. 2?

U v lucky leh. Jem wakes up middle of the 9 then sleeps on his own or look for teddy for comfort. Last 9 Chen Chen slept @ 9+, I thot I can hv early sleep. Who knows he woke up 10:30 to play. Can't let him play alone coz he pressed cd player buttons, played wif wire/fan. Put him on the mattress on the flr, he pushed my hubby to wake my hubby up or crawlled to the fan n power socket.
Eureka
Hmm.... I dun c the link b/w putting a box to collect $ n Elyse b'dy leh
Anyway sorry lar if I offended u
Hey dun say teacher nothing to say then say Rae cute n handsome
. Rae is indeed cute n handsome
Measuring tape n ruler the same mah
Book = teacher
Drumstick = chef (all the items signify a career)
calculator = businessman (I mentioned wrongly in the postings when I said Chen Chen picked calculator n the posting addressed to Mom2Nat. The traditional 1 is abacus but calculator easier to find nowadays)
the rest r correct
remember to use same color for all items. Tell us wat Elyse picks on Sun ya

I din ask for fotos.. can i wear less
Wah... 4 strokes. I 'ouch' for rae rae.
Hmmm, mebbe they gonna incorporate modelling into the edu syllabus. If not, put handsome for what?
HB felt its abt time we try for our girl. I also start to do the necesary stuff for TTC few weeks back. But dun noe why at times when i see Jerome, I'll start to think whether is it the 'right time'. Some feels tat its better to hv the bb before the firstborn turns terrible 2. Some feels that wider age gap will not strain the mummy so much etc. HAIZ~~
Think most mummies here not going thru this yet.. but can share share what's ur thots abt having no.2?
Shook,
So far, most of the time jem wakes up at nite for very short while only (mostly due to dreaming) if he cries for too long.. i'll stuff his teddy into his arms, then he goes back to sleep. If not, he'll look for it on his own or the most, stars flipping his books.. Only once he woke up to play, hb closes all doors n we continue to Zzz.. he got sian i think n fell asleep at my feet. Chen Chen got any comfort toys/blankets etc?

Tried Minute Maid Lemonade surprising at a malay nasi padang store. Thot sure very ex one then in the end, only $1 per can. My colleague paid $1.20 for his yeo's can. haha! Yah... quite nice and refreshing.
Mommies
Been feeling very rejected by Ally. Now that hubby is on hols, it seems that she prefers my maid then sometimes hubby before me since I spend the least time with her now. boo hoo hoo! So it's not true when they say children will know who's their parents are. Two nites back, I decided to seat in the back and carry her while we return home from in laws and I think Ally spotted my maid sitting in front and she was practically bawling to get her to carry. cry til no voice also continue crying and in the end, threw up her milk in the car. Feeling a bit upset now... do so much for her and in the end also like that.
Lyn / Eureka
