pax: thsi is the cup.. i looked everywhere can only find it at the Robinsons at Cityhall.. price a bit ex $15 plus but with the 20% discount its ok lah. I also bought a straw (stage 3) mag mag during the sale today.
I let Rae drink from a cup, a bit messy, so hope this cup can solve the problem.

Audrey,
aiyoh.. u better not get distracted by the forum! go do your assignment NOW! kekeke..

For JE stuff, u must ask Pink, our resident JE expert.
 
hah autum!
henderson! thats very near my office! wat time is your casting? why dun u send me EJ's photo? i email to landlord guy to forward to their team. how? i think i can take morning leave...
 
Pax: ya.. i asked my mum "else u suggest how? "
yes.. she doesn't like Dr Ong because Dr Ong is telling her the truth which she cannot stand i.e. she spoiling teng..

coz Dr Ong didn't tell me outright that i spoiling him (thanks god. but I know i equally guilty me).. but did tell me specifically teng is bullying my mum.. and explained to her somemore.. and she can be quite petty.. buay song Dr Ong for saying the truth.. sulky when 'told off'..

I tell u pax.. sian. .. this is not just teng alone per say.. i got to deal with 2 kids.. one big and one very OLD kid.. feel like fainting.

just now incident in the evening.. she fed up with me. go kitchen weep.. even though i did what she wanted me to do . let teng sit on the floor at the sofa.. not what i wanted to do . in cot in room and leave him alone.. end up still she waivered.. fed up
 
Audrey: u order ur JE thru pink.. then no need to buy 2 piece liao.. she loyal client of JE leh.
Hey what time were u at the fox sale? i went too .. at about 3pm. What did u buy?
 
star
ur image din come out..
it's not the new type, right? i'm thkg whether to get a new one for Jo. she's using M's old one.. which is still in quite good condition. i prefer this to the new type. beta. Jo's using the stage 3 straw liao.

my turn to go pom pom and wash bottles....

where's astro?
 
audrey
no need to make 1 pair....je accepts my single pc order. just email me the link, code, colour, size and price in SGD

i wana complain..JE damn niao, i ordered quite a substantial amount almost $6k, they still refuse to give me VIP discount, unless 1 place 1 time deposit. pissed
 
pax: how long does it take for them to learn to use a straw har? as in teh sucking up motion? Jo can use the straw very well now?
 
Pink,
i think i will be going down only around 1pm leh. cos morning i want to sleep! haha..

Astro dear..
u very poor thing hor.. still must manage your mom.. sigh.. for me, only i have final say in everything abt EJ.. cos my mom "scared" of me.. and i got no MIL..FIL too far away in msia and won't care also.. good and bad.. no 'disturbances' from others, but no help to take care of bb for me when i need to take a break.
 
my post a little outdated ha...

star
nice design wor.. it's pigeon one right? i like.. but maybe i shld save $$$...

astro
like i said, bo pian lor.. u one method, she one method. keep it that way... dun confuse Teng, k?
okie.. enuf of all these.. anythg interesting to talk abt? i beta go bathe 1st. jus now fever. slept 2hrs, woke up feeling so much beta. took 2 panadols and a cup of milo. perspired. time to bathe.. yak later
 
pax: and how to train them to drink from a straw cup har? sorry if my qs sounds a bit stupid..maybe i should google and do some research.
 
star
just started her last week. she learned IMMEDIATELY! we were amazed. actually Matthew also. M was vv adv. 5mths he already using straw liao. u let RAe use tmr.

ok ok.. be back in 30min
 
and i suspect. wun finger feed, wun drink from beaker.. all stems from the same problem - spoilt boy..

Dr Ong was surprised when i told her teng drinks from a spn. she said like that no good. coz can't drin k a lot.. i told her teng can drink a lot.. she asked me how i did it.. i said just feed.. spn after spn.. tiring.. then we two also agreed must re into cup or straw or whatever..

when i foreced/tricked/bribed teng to drink from beaker in the past, my mum keep tell ing me.. "he dunno lah. dun force him lah".. coz teng will kick up a big fuss.. if i stuff the beaker near his mouth.. spn he is ok. but beaker.. no..

and escalates into major conflict kind ..she will turn sulky and start weeping.. like i bully her like that.. i very arghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!
 
pax: u fever? sick? ..sadly. my life.. at the moment.. is not interesting.. sian.

star: Rae drinks from the cup pretty well.. why revert back to the straw?
 
Astro,
from what i see hor, the problem is not Teng, is not you.. the problem is your MOTHER! sigh... but what to do, she is your mom, so u have to respect her.. but i think u seriously must sit her down n try to talk rationally with her. Get your hubby to talk to her. It might work wonders.. especially if it comes from your hubby.
 
astro: i think its time u emotional blackmail ur mum back..heheh ..I can tell that ur mum is very kan cheong abt teng, why dun u ask her if she will worry that her grandson is so slow in developing as compared to his peers..and ask her if she mind that he lags behind all other kids the next time, now is crawling and standing, how abt next time when he goes to school etc etc lah.. u get the drift right.
 
pax: aiyo, i am so excited now! ok, i will let her try tomorrow, actually come to think of it, i should have skipped the sprout cup and immediately train her on the straw cup.
 
Autum: my mum is scared of me.. and i can easily have things my way if i kick up a fuss and tear other ppls 'faces...when i was young.. yes i do it this way.. but now i older liao.. and i realise this is not good and i dun like this kind of communication method..so therefore.. i 'soften up'... this is not good behaviour for teng to see also.. coz if her mum is rude/doesn't listen to grandma..how expect him to listen to me? .. modelling..
 
astro: oh.. so i can skip the straw cup too?? hmm.. maybe i should let her try the mag mag drinking cup i bought today instead..hmm. *thinking thinking hard now*
 
autum : the problem. is poor communication between me and my mum.. yes.. strangely for a very mild mannered man.. she is afraid of my hb.. ! hmmm.. but hor miser.. sigh.. gentle mannered man.. dun tell straight in the face one.. prefer to use 'avoidance' approach.. he claims he will train teng in the weekend .. using his methods.. i seriosly can faint..

Star: i told her the same thing.. u know her reply? "he will know one.. my teng teng is so smart.".. and that's it!!! can faint? dunno who she is kidding..
 
Astro,
of course you can't be rude to your mom la. that's why i say u must rationalise things with her.. and get your hubby to do it. You will be surprised, but i think your mom will listen better if the rationalising comes from the son-in-law, who is the father of the boy. Again, I don't mean take a hardline approach or say things like.. see la, doctor also said so.. just ask your hubby to talk earnestly to her, to ask her to let you handle Teng in your method and to cooperate with you.. something to that effect.
 
star: not too sure.. coz the 'natural' progression for the mag mag cup.. (all training cups?) is sprout, straw and then open cup.. so if can manage open cup. i not too sure why need revert back to straw,,

but straw is also good.. coz another skill.. less messy..
 
astro....
talking abt old folks...i also got long post...
its very difficult to bring up kid wif the old folks ard. My mum would always end up going separate ways wif me...after i scold my son for not eating..and asking grandma to buy another food for him. She always buy sweet...chocs....etc. Her theory...kids muz eat sweets wat. Dan she would say..last time i also let you eat wat. Dan i would say...datz why the whole family so fei fei...dan she would say....thatz why your son so skinny...like your husbands family. Dan i say...just let me feed him. Dan she say...dun force him lah. He dun like the food you buy. I see also i also dun like.....and it goes on and on...dan it depends who pissed off wif who....if nearby got MRT..she will take her own mrt back. And just walk away wifout saying bye bye to son. Dan son would make noise..asking where grandma go....dan he would throw tantrum....and this scene...and script...same. At least play 7-10 times liao bah....

dan everytime...she would say i dun give her enuf money...even though her two sons dun even pass her. I give her 200 per week leh....dan when i give less for one week....mayb 50 less...she would grumble...when i give more or buy things for her...she say dun nid..dun nid...dan next month would say i give things...muz publicize what i give meh...dan her two sons just give..also dun say anything. *i give up* I tell her...correct wat...your two sons dun give you wat. They give little bit..she so happy like dat....
 
pinkpink.....
goot goot...next time i also wana join.
happy.gif


autum....
writing...a bit here and there lah. Nid to relak brain a bit.

starfruit....
old people would never tink that the kid is lagging behind...in fact...they would say the grandkid is clever liao. As compared to last time.....

astro...
anyway....i din use spout coz grandma always bring son out...dan outside drinks only got straws. And she hates to use the spout. i din bother to train son open cup. It just came on naturally later.
 
wah piang, i OT till 9.30pm. Rch hm then showered and had some soup. Now here i am typing away. Too stressed and cant slp.

pink, ya lah me fed up wif work cos alot of paperwork piling on my desk. Colleagues didnt cover my duties well so gotto settle by myself. Abt hm..too many to complain till i dunno how to tell. sigh
sad.gif


edde, oh u gals are actually signing up as members?? pai seh, remove Fion and my name fr the list. We wanna try out the trial session 1st.

QQ/Carol, maybe we could pop into other thread to jio pple to go for the trial session?? wad u think? I will oso call up kindermusik tmr and ask if we cld walk in to join others for the trial session. Will update u gals.

astro, why ur mum dun like Dr Ong? I find she is gd too. At least wad she commented is wad i wanted to hear. I think i mgt hv to drop by her pl again. Fabian's getting notti these daz. He will cry out suddenly in his nap or cry when he wake up seeing nobody ard. Just now, i tried waking away and he cried immediately. Hope he is not trying to become a "sticky glue".
 
toking abt old folks. My MIL let Fabian tried red bean soup yday. Faintz...somemore its sweet. Has to remind her again and again. no citrus fruit and egg white. Hope she rems.
 
jyun,
i think quite normal now for our babies to become sticky. now is the time they start to recognise more pple and become more sticky.

you stress at work and home too?? hey I can join Kindermusik trial class also.. i haven't been.
 
audrey: ur story is classic' favours sons over daughter' very heng only me and my sister.. else even worse! :p

so ur younger daughter is drinking from straw. and son is open cup.? how old is ur son now?
btw.. i digged the archives just now.. coz i forgotten how old ur son was before he walk steadily, stand etc.. coz u told me in ur last post.. so ..14mths right? pretty much what Dr Ong told me too (coz ask her when is the age i shold be concerned if teng still shows no inclination of moving..)
 
Autum, yes stressed wif work and hm. U c, fabian was sick last few daz. HB and me like just gone thru BMT..super shiong. And we realised there will be more problems once we move to our new pl. No choice, gotto take things one step at a time.

Kindermusik trial session. i thot u went liao. pai seh..ok maybe can start to organise again. Any dates u preferred? Trial session are on sundays.
 
astro...
yesh...couldnt even stand properly when he was a year old. grandma always carrying him. But i can't grumble too much coz needed her to look after son. She hates hubby too..coz when hubby comment...she would just scold back. My mum is very very vocal kind. My mum, i tink, feeds kaylyn soya bean drinks and fruit juices when she brings her out. So from straw...should be yesh. Coz now i seldom eat dinner wif her. I order tingkat and eat when i bring the two kids back to sk. I dun see...i dun grumble. But i know she try a lot of things even b4 dotter can eat solids...coz her wah wah sometimes the texture different. She tot she could get away wif it....
 
astro, my parents too!! over 100% spoiling fabian. cant stop them cos is their 1st grandchild. No matter how we still to need to discipline them.
 
oh yeah....son is 3 yrs now. Bcoz of grandma...he speaks very well for his age...but his motor skills...very bad. Can still fall when he runs....but now slightly better bcoz of childcare i tink. Everyday they will bring him to playground. Dan at playground....he would try to outrun his frenz...he is now optimus prime police fire engine pilot transformer(when we ask him who is he) His other two goot frenz are megatron...coz they are bad transformers(he says)...collectively...i call them the three stooges
 
audrey: same thing happening with me.. but i dun want it to happen ..dun mind me ah.. i not saying ur son lousy or u bo chap hor. but i just feel that cannot like that one.. u get what i mean hor? not offended hor?
 
edde, my job search update: went for 2nd interview for a post but i wasnt selected in the end. Rec'd many calls fr recruitment agencies but yet to go for any interviews.
 
audrey: wah.. funny lei ur boy. cute.. hmm. but i wonder if teng can speak very well for his age coz my mum does talk to him a lot in hainanese.. and me, as usual, my make belief conversations with him lor. regrading ah jun.. blah blah blah.. but i still feel mobilty more impt.. why? i think survival skills? run when got fire?!!! then just sit there and shout help? dunno..

which remind me.. ehh.. pax ah.. how did jo respond when u tell her teng wants date her ah?? was it like how i posted in the blog ah?!
 
ok.. back..

isetan no sales.. i went to parkway during lunch to jalan jalan. Boss on course mah...
oh, no need to train to use straw. it came naturally for both kids, but u might wan to let Rae wear bib, bcos 1st few times dunno how to control. can suck, but suck liao, forget to swallow, so some will come out fr the mouth..
agree with Audrey, using open cup came naturally. i also got the drkg cup spout, but i think only use a few times.....

re: Grandparents spoiling grandchildren
i think i said this b4. Grandparents r meant to spoil grandchildren. Parents do the discipline. if can understand this pt, kai kan, easier life. of cos, unless something really really wrong, must correct lah. they reap what they sow, spoil them, then after that come and complain difficult to take care blah blah blah.. ignore lor. their own fault to spoil the kid mah, so they find it difficult lor. i vv mean right? i think i'm typing nonsense.
