mtdt,
hmm... I might not want my parents to "train" the maid, cos we might have different ways of doing things. I am not sure if the maid should listen to only one person.
okipoki,
I just asked my mum. She said I should get the maid after my hubby's reservist. Gotta ask my hubby tonite. He went to work today.
Ivy,
I have sent you a PM
Do you teach her how to pronounce the words properly? Does she learn fast? hmm... I scared later A learn all the improper pronunciation.
rodeo,
I dun mind eating Burmese food. kekeke... If they can cook and do housework, quite good already.
Ok, so now I know if get Myanmar maid, gotta get one with Uni degree.
Angeline,
I read from Glen Doman book that we should not sneak out. Wherever we are going, gotta tell our toddlers. I experienced that in JG before I gave birth. I sneaked out once to the toilet. He could not find me in class and started crying, and I had a super duper clingy A for the rest of the week! After I read the tip from the book, I started to practice what was recommended. He's fine when I need to get out of the class for a while. And now, even when I go out, he's fine with it as long as I tell him that I am going out, and when I will be back. It's like asking permission from A. And tell him things like mommy will be back after your nap and your dinner. Or mommy will be back when you wake up in the morning, after your milk, after your shower, etc. And you be a good boy for por-por.
When we are suppose to be there, and not there, to them, it's like mommy has disappeared into thin air. It will cause insecurity in them. The first few times when you tell them that you are leaving, they will cry a little. After a few times, and you kept your promise everytime, they will learn to trust you and feel more secured.
When I gotta stay in the hospital, I told A that he will be going home with daddy, and mommy will not be going home. He will see mommy tomorrow after his milk, after his shower, after his rice and soup, after his nap. And he be a good boy for daddy, ok? I make sure he say ok. And make sure he's willing to wave bye bye before leaving. He was very calm and did not cry at all when his daddy brought him home and slept through the night.
Maybe the night before you start to tell Celeste that she's going to school the next morning when she wakes up. Then tell her the whole process that she will change into her uniform, leave house, say goodbye, car ride, reach school, see teacher, bye bye mommy, play with friends, etc. Then when she wakes up, repeat again... It might help in calming her and knows what to expect.
Paula,
I do not use meat in soups for A. You can add pork ribs if you want. My mum will sometimes add frog legs into his soup to boil.
Lotus root soup:
Lotus root, red dates, wolfberries, chestnut, "zhen1 zhu1 dou4", cashew nuts ( sometimes), black beans, soya beans.
Radish soup:
Radish, carrots, red dates, wolfberries, sweet corn.
Potato soup:
Potato, carrots, sweet corn, shiitake or brown mushroom, cherry tomato, wakame seaweed (sometimes), soya beans, peanuts (if I can get fresh ones)
Usually I will boil more than an hour. Sometimes two hours under slow fire, so that the soup will have stronger taste. I have thermal cooker, but does not seem be able to boil tasty soup.
