Eeyore and Zoe - Congrats to u all, finally BB can crawl. Emerson is still creeping, but i suspect he will skip the crawling part because he keeps pulling himself up to stand and wanna push things to make him walk.

JP - Yr msg has too many short forms liao.. Ha, dun quite understand, anyway, me not pregnant yet, coz have not checked. Kekeke...

YLC - Actually if u dont mind, u dont really need to do up their room coz they're still very young, I bought my flat when I already knew I had Emerson but I kept his room as clear as possible to make way for his toys etc etc, now u decorate next time he wants his fav character up then i have to do up the room again, so i guess i better wait til his older. But if u want, u can join BPs here, they sometimes organise Wall decors etc etc.. but hor, dun buy wallables hor. I bought mine.. kind of regret. The music is quite soft and doesnt really grow in the dark. With regards to fever, I read ferver usually last for 3-5days in children. Just give their medication regularly and sponge them... if temp didnt increase to 38.something then shld be quite safe. Other wise, u might want to ask for IBUFEN from yr PD, its quite a strong medication as compared to DHAMOL, my doc says only to use if temp more than 38.2 degrees.
 
hi ylc,
is it viral fever? give her lots of water. barley water is good....without sugar. I gave that to my boy when he has viral fever. It takes about 2 to 3 days for the fever to be subsided.
 
Mummies
How did the Kindermusik trial go? I had been nursing a cough for the past few days, and woke up this morning to a worsened cough + sore throat. Caitlyn is perfectly fine, thank God.. but thought it better not to attend the trial in case the bug spreads.

Sandy,
I'm also looking at diaper bags.. very tempted to buy a Kate Spade one, and ship it over from US..

Peach,
I didn't know you were doing a collage for July babies! Will send you a foto soon, as soon as the studio shots of my girl are done (think possibly in a week or two's time).

MTDT, Mezzo17,
Congrats on a successful surgery! Rest well and say hello to clear vision! I'd probaby opt to do LASIK as well... will check out your clinic and a couple of others before I decide.. Less than $3K for both eyes is very affordable!

Misaryeo,
I live in Bukit Batok and work in Raffles Place.. Why dun I pop by your area to pick up the bpads from you? Paiseh if you have to travel to pass me stuff. Are you the mummy going to US soon?
 
Hi mummies,

Thanks for all your concerns!!! Cait is feeling so much better. Today fever all gone. i'm so happy.

Wah cleaning up the hse is no joke!!! HB gotta work OT today, he only let me know this morning when his office called him back. Sigh... thank goodness my ILs came over to look after Cait while i clean the whole hse. super happy cus now the hse is super clean!

hey, i m also going for studio photograhpy. wanted one professional family portrait to put at home.
Peach,
will email you Cait's photo

Re-decorating Cait's rm:
I was also thinking abt whether next time she will want her rm in her own deco. But at least for now, just sell away the furnitures then at least can have a proper nursery... as a gift for her... next time she want to re-decorate it, gotta ask Daddy to sponsor haha!!! Was thinking of doing a mural for one side of the rm, then ceiling put clouds deco... something very colourful n soothing for her

Mummies,

Yesterday was really a drama day . I was so happy that my mother offer to help me look after BB so that i can go do facial and hair cut but things didn't turn out to be that way.

1 PM : End School
1.45 PM - 0230: Reach Bishan and have lunch with HB
0230 - 430 : Facial

0445 to 0630 : Company HB go buy some computer stuff for his shop

0630 to 0800 : Hair Cut

Guess what ? My father call in the middle of my haircut and say he & my mother quarell becuase I am nt back home yet .

I got very furious when i heard that. TOTALLY NO LIFE AT ALL. Already no time for for self -revision and going out with friends. I ask my HB call and ask what really happen ; he reluctant. I storm out of his shop and go home.
When I reach home, this first thing i do is scold my mother " BU KAN Yuen ar" then carry bb and slam the gate behind me and go.

I go back to shop pass BB to my HB and start venging all my anger by throwing all my notes and complain " GIVE UP STUDY . DON"T WANT TO STUDY ALREADY !! NOBODY HELPING ME OUT"
My HB do nothing but only say "Enough hor". Then left me crying there without coming to hug or console.
When I got back home again, my just put BB down and feed him milk . Then open his laptop , I am so disappointed with him . I asked him to choose BB or Me ; he says he wants both. Fine. Computer or me , he also wants both. I think i am really depress, I tell him tonight is the last time u seeing me. I go to my drawer, grap a scissor and start cutting my wrist. Only then he come and stop me.

My parent knew it , i was expecting so words of concern etc. but NONE. All sarcartic remark like it is nt their duty to help take care of BB and help me wash BB clothes and my clothes. ( I give her $800.00 a mth on the condition that she help take care of BB.) etc. Worst she say my action only make myself look disgrace. I don't what wrong with me , I just dash to the window and attempt to open it and wanted to JUMP !!. 2 time yesterday but was pulled back by my HB. The 2nd time, i got kick and punch by my mother.

After that, my HB also agree with my mother that my attitude is bad, and ask me go and "THINK".

Sometime really don't why my life so drama....or really because I suppress my post-natal blue too long.

morning gals...

Yesterday KM Class was GREAT!!! I think it's a really good class and the teacher can sings really well!!!

But i will only consider signing up for it when Zavier can walk... if not, too tiring for parents us!
happy.gif


How about the others?
 
sandy - Aiyoh!!

I would suggest that you seek medical help leh. Think your sucide attempts are signs of Depression. Depression is a serious case!

Dun bottled up and wait any longer. Go see a doc abt it.

Relax ok... talk to us here.
happy.gif
 
Hi mummies,

Yup..I think the KM class was fantastic for our little ones..esp so if your bb loves music.

But going to Tangline mall every weekend for classs can be quite a chore leh..that place so boring. If only they have pay per visit class :)) Anyway, I may sign her up lah provided they have Sat class..dun really like Sunday cos it screwed up my schedule :-(
 
Sandy, ohno.. agreed with MTDT, maybe u need to go talk to a professional already. dun go about trying to kill urself leh. ur little boy needs u k... can't say what ur parents are thinking, but maybe instead of giving ur mum the 800, use the money to get a maid n the remainder give ur mum lor. this way, u can get more rest n can even go out on some nites cos it is ur maid's duty to help u out mah.

Cheer up okie.. maybe shldn't leave ur baby entire day with ur parents also. maybe have your "break" half-day half-day. a baby is a huge handful, so difficult for ur family also la. after all, we mummies are the ones who understand our baby best hor?
happy.gif
Sayang sayang!



KM class - I think it's goooood! I wanna sign up for Kristen! She was so intrigued by the teacher singing n I think it will be very beneficial for her hearing! Is there any other branches? I was looking online but like only have affliates, n dunno how they conduct also.. would it be the same?...
 
Sandy,
Haiyo.. so terrible....
U must learn to control ur temper. It is nothing wrong to vent ur anger but wat describe was very extreme.

If ur parents are not able to help u then u must help urself. If u think no one love u then u must learn to love urself and treasure urself more.

I can tell u i wun pity anyone who is trying to cut ownself or jump from the window. Ur attempt wun earn u any sympathy. This is my personally experience. Pple will find u only a drama-mammy.

I think u need to consult a professional.
 
Sandy
If u r so stressed, why dun u consider deferring ur course? If ur mum is reluctant to take care of ur kid, why not employ a maid to help ur mum. Since ur mum is around at home, she can help to supervise. In this way u can do ur things at ease.
 
Hi mummies,
i think the KM class was great also but abit tiring for mummies...my arms are aching today fm all the lifting etc...my girl is super active yest at the class...guess she must be enjoying herself also...but tanglin mall abit far to go every week for class also...
 
Hi Sandy..muz control yr temper yato temperamental is oso no good for yr boy ! Muz look at the bright side mah!

Hi mummies..the KM trial was great but abit similar to B n C that we wentbut now I muscle ache..like going to break into pcs leh.

Can check my gal blog for pix n video.. : ) will post up later when I free

http://www.angelvenice.blogspot.com/

Peach..ya can free kristen enjoy the session
 
Yenny,
i am now staying with my parent, brother, SIL & her 2 children. No place for maid.

I can't defer cos this semester very important . They are changing sylabus in the next sitting. I am already slow in completing my papers.
 
MTDT...abit similar!...the intro n the running round n swing the babies part..! ya B n C is boring i almost doze off after 15min : ( hahaha!

I tink my gal still enjoy Gymboree most, looking forward to TT
 
Hi Sandy - HUGS to you. Yes, why dont u defer yr studys since u have a hard time coping. Now only studying, what if Exam time? If u contnue like that with no time to revise, laetr *TOUCHWOOD* fail how? wasting yr time and money also. ACCA can go up to 10 years right? U see, having a bb to us is like so precious loh and right now is a stage where our bb is the cutest and they tend to learn alof of things. So if i were u, i will spend more time with BB. And what u did yesterday could frighten little Benjamin, and what if he grows up to be negative? Whatever u do, pls think of the little one.

Your parents might be unhelpful, yr hubby might be dis concern...but maybe, I am saying maybe, Maybe its yr attutide that's turning them off? More often than not, we tend to point fingers at others and not ourselves. They could see u giving them $800 as sort of filial piety and not what u think - helping u to take care of BB. Maybe use the $ to hire a maid might help alot!

I tell u my case, some of u might know, my MIL is totally hopeless in terms of taking care of BB. I dont hv parents to rely on. The only person I left with is my Grandma, who is like 70+. My hubby also, my r/s with him so-so only, but there's alot alot of compromising in us.

Yesterday was my bday, I pleaded my granny to take care of Emerson so that I could have some couple time with Hubby. I left my granny pl ard 5pm+ and met hubby. Quarrel with him outside the cinema til cry and everyone looking at me. Nevermind, just go for movie, coz i wanted to watch them desperately. It's been 500 yrs since i last watched. but...but.. half way down the show.. my HP was bombarded by calls from my granny
sad.gif
she couldnt cope with Emerson n her legs are aching.. so she call me. End up me got to go out of the move (hubby still inside watchin til end) and go home pick E up. When i pick him up my face was damn sad.. but I didn flare up.. coz i know its not her obligation to do it... I just thought being a mother is such a big sacrifice... and think abt my past days, club til wee hrs and drink to merry my days... now.. no longer the case.
 
sometimes think we as parents really cannot expect others to help us... so boh bian.. hv to arrange our programs to suit our little ones schedule as they are the KINGS & QUEENS! :p

for me now... i will take my lunch hr to go do hair, facial etc. haha... save time! :p Weekend n nite are really precious time for me n bb.
happy.gif


Sandy - think even if u move out to ur own lovenest, the problems will still exist. I still think the problem probably is tat u hv mild depression.
 
Zita,
can i know which camera u are using. Very clear. Thinking of getting a more handy one in a few month times.

The pic r really nice..
 
MTDT - Agree loh! Me dun even have lunch time to do my things. U see my face gena sai... haiz..

Sandy - If u intend to move out,then what abt housework!! Haiyo... me now quarrelling with HB abt housework loh!
 
PM - ur bday yesterday huh!! HAPPY Belated bday leh!
happy.gif
Stay pretty n fun!
happy.gif


Yes i agree - my mum also cannot help in taking care of jr. my hubby will always question why my mum rather go back n teach then help to look after grandson. but i just boh bian loh... it's her choice, and i cannot force her or EXPECTs her to do it just becos she is my mum, Zavier's grandson. :p
 
Thanks Mummy,
Yah i think i need professional help. My mother only help take care of BB from 1200 onward till about 0700 when i reach home. Half day from Mon -Fri only. Saturaday and Sunday BB with me whole day Cos Saturday she go Mahjong session.

Yesterday was only half a day already like this, what about next Sunday when I have full day class 0900 to 0600 pm.

Hate to hear my mother kept saying u r the mother must do this and that. Ya Ya.. Who took care of me till I am 5 yr old ? ( My grandmother).
Sometime really envy one of my friend who mother willing to help take care without any word. And she can forcus on work and have time with HB.
 
Kindermusik - Ha, so may of u find the class good. I think so-so only leh. coz Emerson liek not responding well as compared to others he has went. Me looking forward to go BJG this sat. confirm hor?
 
Sandy - Why dont u use the $ to put Benjamin in infant care? Find a reliable one. I duno I just have the thinking, for working mums, weekends are like so precious that they just wanna spend whole day with BB.
 
PM,
if i have a house myself, it is easy. I no need to fight with my SIL who use washing machine almost 2-3 time a day.

My HB and I agreed to engage PT maid to help cleaning once a week cos we are not at home so often .
My BB , I am just waiting for him to turn 18 mth then I will send him to Montessori child care.

Infant care,
I suggested to my HB but he refuse. He say his mother can help take care instead. MY FOOT !! Ask her to make porridge for my son every weekend also no time ; where got time to take care of BB.
 
MTDT - Thanks
happy.gif
Yah, my MIL also go MJ every day one hor.. and sometimes if i really need to run errand, just put E with her, she will carry him to coffeeshop or sit infront of her TV with Teletext page 880-884! Emerson see numbers!
 
Sandy - That's good idea too if u all can work out the finances. Renovation, buying furniture, buying household stuff, engaging PT maid and puting Benjamin into childcare...not to mention unforeseen circumstances like BB sick - bring to PD etc etc all these are $, big or smal cost are all cost..
 
oh, u gals hv BJG class rite!

tell me ur feedback! :p
any idea who is the teacher? i feel teacher is v impt for the success of the class.
happy.gif


I like the KM teacher! love her voice. :p
 
PM - wahh ur birthday yesterday ah.. happy belated birthday!
happy.gif


Sandy, work with what u have n try to be more positive. somehow have to learn to work out a compromise with ur family. the situation won't change with u moving house, u'd still have to find a babysitter for ur boy.. maybe ur mum wants a "life" too.. she take care of ur boy the whole day, and she has to work in the evenings also rite?

Don't understand.. how come cannot use washing machine together? n wash so many times a day? wah. household bills sure very ex.
 
Wah.. Z-lia also arh.. happy happy birthday.

PM, ya.. the teacher's voice so nice n she's so active.. haha.. her baby inside is having kindermusik every day also man. bounce here n bounce there.. n got such nice voice the mummy.. envy.
 


PM, Peach, Happy Belated Bday.

BTW, no one organise any BJG trial at Pasir ris right?

if no then i try to see if i can get one.
