(2007/03) March 2007 MTBs

morning everyone.

very tired.. yawning.. lethargic.. hmmm..

bbgirl/evelyn: ya.. dun think Star is that worried abt Rae pulling to stand..but was just discussing it 'in detail' coz interesting.. this push/pull to stand..

pink: intresting. but any specific ways the author suggest? coz that two paragraphs.. a summation of parenting dilemma.. think the specific ways would be more interesting..
happy.gif


SQ: dun feel guilty lah.. books are like that one. esp such parenting books.. on the extreme ends.. if u read controlled crying, then they tell u it is cruel to let the bb continue waking in the night and have the sleep association.. if u read no cry, they tell u it is cruel to let bb cry.. ha!.. get what i mean? basically, they 'scolding' one another lah. .the two camps of thought :p

btw, what cook yogurt?

carol: cool.. ur boy can finger feed liao
happy.gif
.. ehh. chiam.. dun want wisdom teeth. doesn't mean i have more i clever also. chey.

teng's third "word".." ay - ear"... u know the sound when u make when u are frustrated??.. he has been "ay -ear" -ing the whole day liao.. like vert vert frustrated over omething like that.. think he imitating me.. coz i always say that at miser.. hmmm..

yvonne: easy.. yesterday trip didn't diffuse ur stress entirely??.. ok.. one more then.. will call u..
happy.gif
.. dun feel that u need med to control ur stress.. like what i told u. must come out of it urself.. med is always unnatural..
happy.gif
got side effects one.. withdrawal syptoms.. when i wanted to cold turket myself from taking the anti depressants that time when i was clinically depressed..
 


yvonne,
pay aside. what do you want?

1. work
then you have to think of bb sitting arrangement

2. take care of bel

3. move out and not stay with ah ma and mil
then you have to endure this for a while till you get your own place
 
Yvonne,

Ah ma all the same. Like I told the rest that got this old neighbour, ah ma kind of age liao. Keep saying I am the maid of my child. Haiz, told her I am the mother, she won't believe me! Can understand your stress.
 
astro,
THANKS! now that you reminded me.
ya, i think it's cruel that they can't learn to zzz through. haha..... now no guilt liao. thk you for enlightening me
happy.gif


cook yogurt? i asked if this must be served cold only. or can cook with meat etc?
 
happy.gif


Yvonne,
Let the old folks be lah.. no point getting angry with them only make u more angry..
U can keep adult food and BB's food stored apart.. so the old folks won't be blur.. or lable them FOR BABY big big on the box/ container so they will not be confused.

hehe I also sometimes need to label my bb's stuffs like washing powder and her biscuits in case we adults blur blur..

its not easy to live with older folks somemore not out own parents.. give and take a bit ok??...

I always tell myself this cos for me,I really need my MIL's help to look after my gal when i work.. planning for no.2 somemore.. i think i need hubby to talk to his mum to see how she sees having to take care 2 grandchildren or does she need additional help? cos she has High blood pressure and she stresses up easily.. so dunno she can cope with 2 kids at home? .. keke ..
 
hope,
i also bz buying cardi recently. but for bb. cos weather v cold and she's sick. just that by the time i receive my loot, scared it's the hot season liao!

yvonne,
sunsweet has a good suggestion. put bel's stuff in those cute cute containers. make yourself happy seeing them, and less confusion also

SQ: ha. u so funny.. :p like that also can? :p but seriously.. u go pick up another controlled crying book and read just a page. u realise.. they cursing the no cry camp.. baskcially.. the two camps at loggerheads all the time lah.. heehee.

ya.. can cook.. in fact later going to try to cook brown rice casserole with tuna.. one of the ingredients is yogurt.. hmnmm. dunno how it would turn out..

Yvonne: it is not easy being a SAHM.. sometimes.. (dun hit me ah. working mothers).. i think working full time is 'easier'.. coz of the distraction.. else our entire lives (at the moment) is on the baby.. not fufilly our desires .. there is bound to be a tradeoff somewhere one.. u not angry with ur ah ma/mil.. u just frustrated with how u living ur life now.. right?
happy.gif
.. it takes tremendous courage.. and determination.. to be a HAPPY SAHM.. unless of course, u can go anywhere u like heck caring the bb.. then also not considered SAHM liao mah.. u need a break, girl.. go hk.. just go..if miss bel.. then bring her along. bbs are very adaptive.. just go... dun think so much
happy.gif
 
Yvonne
Mayb u need a break or someone to talk to them..seems like recently u've been stressed out over family issues rather than Bel. It's hard living with IL & Ahma generation; if it's me i sure blast out wif them...
I alwaz rmbr wat someone told me before: when u r pregnant, ur mom will ask u wat u want to eat but your mother in-law will make what you need to eat (cos it's for their grandchildren). This is a culture shock for staying wif them; either you see open or pray to move out soon.

Anyway, I tell u hor...i more angry last weekend! We went for MIL bday dinner n a Taiwanese guy was also invited. The way he talked I feel like using hot water to splash on his face..scenes as follows:
1) When Kaiser is eating rusk biscuit, he said: Oh looks like gou-bing (dog biscuit) he is eating!
2) He asked: Did you BF Kaiser now? I said no more. He said: Huh, BB who dont breast feed over 1 yr will have many sickness one. (walau, is he cursing him!!! *@$%&^&*)
3) Kaiser is sleepy..he said: Oh yr BB need u to carry huh..aiyo cannot leh, shld throw him onto the bed & let him sleep alone!
4) He: Wow..you bring only one bag! I guarantee u next time when he is 1yr old, u need to carry 2! Cos including his TOYS!!!
Sicko rite! Imagine his wife is now pregnant wif his 1st child & he got the nerve to comment on ME...I super duper TL leh...Angry Bangry man!

Finish my story...hope you feel better after voicing out...like me!
 
astro,
ya ya ya. i rem reading through the books before i decide to CIO. this am was telling my hubby. then he reminded me that i've actually tried no-cry before i CIO lah. so not so guilty liao. then this am you remind me again
happy.gif


and why hit you? it's VERY difficult being a SAHM. i wonder how i can keep my sanity. that's why i'm full of admiration for star. she's faithfully a happy SAHM lah. Rae v lucky to have her

Angel,
WHAT'S THAT MAN DOING EATING WITH YOU?!
 
Pinkpink
Oh if Disney not avail then we find alternative..as long as we gather n hv fun. I oso surveying another place..let u know later
happy.gif


Mist
Aiyo, dun worry abt yr BB weight. Kaiser only 8.7kg only. I went for his 9.5mth assessment today & Dr said weight ok leh. Hehehe...

Re: Walker
Oh tell u gals hor.. Dr do a stand up test for Kaiser today & he told me not to use walker as it might cause walking problems to BB. Luckily I din use it for walking but more as a stationary feeding gadget to put him in.
 
SQ
Ya boy..he is my MIL tenant ONLY & she politely invite him over to eat 9course meal & he got the damn cheek to comment on my kiddo. A**Hole rite?
 
YIPPEE.. they FINALLY arhchive the pages... load so much faster.

astro
rgd the maomao slap by Teng... they reap wat they sow.. laff laff laff, so Teng find it vv funny, cont doing it lor.. u shout at him, he dun dare liao... next time Teng slap VV VV hard, then maomao will know it's not funny anymore.. i always tell mil, DUN LAFF When M is doing something wrong and i'm trying to discipline him. she always laff when M is OBVIOUSLY doing smthg wrong and i'm scolding him for the wrong thing he's doing.. she always kena fr me!

okie.. me gg to borders.. last day of offer.. die.. i think total book expediture will hit $500!!!
 
angel,
hahaha, i read your taiwanese guy... i wanna laugh... tell you hor, i will say evil things to him if he said all those to me... hahaha.. eg. wow, yr wife now pregnant leh, and you still dare to say so much!!! must hv kou de lah!! ;p

aiyo, me not worry abt my boy's weight lah, just get stress and piss with mil's constant comments and naggings! hehehe... but i did a very evil thing last night.

SQ,
last night, i "suan" by mil leh... my hubby was giving my boy some small rusk for him to bite bite, then my mil say my ah boy eat alot of porridge yesterday, for lunch and dinner liao!!! then immediately i see my opportunity liao, i commented, "I thot you keep saying he's very light right?" (trying to imply that she dun let my ah boy eat, then dun keep nagging me that my boy gain very little weight lah....)
 
Angel,

SAHM is tougher job so thats why i choose to go out to work keke :p

But I do miss my bb a lot.. thinking hard if i should g on part time but the $$ factor a bit difficult.. :p

and what stupid guy that is.. I think i will not give face and talk back

1) My child eat gou bing? next time your kid teeth he/she will also ask for gou bing.

2) Its not the matter of how long one BF but it the quality of the Milk. Hope his wife enjoys being the milk machine for 1 year or more.

3) Tell him outside your arms are his bed. (Use his brains lah outside where got bed??)

4) Maybe in taiwan kids are spoiled to lug out their toy box. S'porean kids dun do that, at most they bring along their fav toy .

In the end wish him all the best and may he STILL have time to dine our with u guys after his child is born.
 
hey.. pax.. going PP borders?.. hmmm. chances are we might bump into one another?.. heehee.. what time u going?.. dun worry. me DEFINITELY go up and disturn u if i see u.. coz u dun know how i look right mah!. .hahaa..

ya.. and today teng slapped her again.. and she happily let him slap.. somtimes i find her quite dumb.. ya.. me infial lah. say that of my mum. but i seriously think that way.. ehhhh.

SQ: ya.. i was just thiking abt starfruit also.. she seems happy staying at home.. haha. skali later she tells u she wants throw Rae out of the window liao!!.. joelle another 'happy' mum.. take myhat off her.. seth is *ahem*.. fiesty.. hahaa.. :p
 
Yvonne: If your hubby thinks you can't good pay working now, do you want to take up some courses to hone up a skill? Else, this "problem" will alwasy be around right?
And if you're comfortable and happy being a SAHM forever, then you don't have to consider going out to work, but if not, then should do some planning..

Don't get frustrated.. Be strong and be good to yourself. You're still very young and energetic - it's only natural how you're feeling now. It's very tough being a happy SAHM..
 
Astro: I got to say this.. Sorry if I'm being too direct here.. If you continue to let Teng slap maomao, you'll become her accomplice.. Then you'll also reap what you sow.. Pls stop him..
 
Hello mummies,
Haven got time yak here for a long time. Been busy wif Jaden, helping my sis with here stuff and taking jap classes. So wat's happeining now here?

Time flies, Jaden is scheduled for his ops in two weeks time. Im getting so so nervous now.

Oh btw,
my sis is having a x'mas bake sale here:
www.thesweetshoppe.blogspot.com
*hehe do some advertisement*
 
Astro: Sorry I sound so harsh above.. But I really feel so. He's being physical (without knowing it now). But if you don't tell him it's wrong, he'll grow up thinking there's nothing wrong being physical at all.. Right?
 
Yvonne,
Actually i think you are still very young. Maybe you can consider taking some course now, when bel is older enough to go cc then you go to work. It's tough being a SAHM and staying with some many people in a house.

Jyun,
If you want i can help you get your clothes from hope as our working place is near and you collect from me from my place?
 
SQ: why u reading" No cry solution" now?i tot ur CIO worked??

Yvonne: its not easy dealing iwth ILs lah. i think urs more psychological (xin1 bing4) than illness of health lah. I think u should take it easy. When u live together everything must open one eye and close one eye. I think to minimize any further confusion reg bel's food. U wanna buy 1 big box (those plastic ones, like lock and lock or tuppers those with a cover type .. get a really big one) so u store all bel's dry food in there, her biscuits, lentils, millet, cereals, baby food etc. Then u can either label the box(not necessary lah) or just tell the family that all the food in there is Bel's and not to eat the,. So u store this box seperately in the cupboard. U can do the same for her fresh produce used to cook her food,like veggie, meat, can also get a box to store her stuff seperately in the fridge. This way, it minimizes anyone accidentally throwing any of her food away or eating them.
 
bbgirl: no lah. of course i stop him lah. i shout at him remember??? .. i dun hit his hands or what.. coz to me, i also hitting him mah.. so i just let my expression and tone of voice do the job.. tihnk u mistaken liao. u think i stand there and laugh??.. hmmm.. me educator lah.. knows what can be accepted.. what cannot be condone..so.. no worries

and also.. think pax has a pt.. children damm smart.. too smart for their own good. they know who they can get away with murder.. who they cannot.. however prompt i can be in curbing teng bullying maomao.. i can only react.. not pre-empt. like the slapping.. happened very fast.. she just put her face near him.. want to kiss him.. got slapped liao.. so.. spilt second.. the slaps.. and of course i will discipline and insist till the cows come home.. but teng will always be so discerning. know that me, cannot touch. maomao, can bully.. unless of course.. mao mao chooses to stand up for herself..

angel: what is a stand test? why does Kaiser need that test?

hmm want go borders.. can't make up my mind..
 
star: ha.. pls tell us more ah.. haha.. then i can be more balanced emotionally. else see u so happy with rae. so fun. so happy all the time.. i feel like strangling teng more!!1 .. whahahah...
 
autum.. i going now leh..

tell u what.. pm u my number. if u there. give me a call.. and i will try to find my way and locate u.. haha.. aiya. put here lah.. 90467430 .. lazy.. :p
 
autum: alone. bring teng, how to buy books ? :p lengzai coming with u ah? or he in infant care?

i printed 20.. hope i wun use all.. else kena from miser liao.. haha....
 
wah wah.. i wanted to post last night then network not ok again. anyway, managed to fast read the archive.

bbgirl. ya, i know u anxious and want anna to speak.
happy.gif
slowly bah, now only 9-10months old, still have lots of time for her to pick up. I think hor, tian picks up things faster when MORE ppl talk, more ppl chat, etc etc. so, need to let her expose to more soudns and voices of everyone.. all languages if possible. cause everytime she surprises us when she goes to a new place with new voices.

Yvonne, long time ago also buey song this ah ma, then have to see open a bit otherwise being unhappy also no helpful. here my unmarried auntie also made stupid comments almost everyday, i one ear in one ear out. sekali she laff laff laff later her ear came off then she knows. i asked her not to laugh already, have to give tian a terrible face showing that she is angry. I did many times then tian will look at HER face before doing it. auntie still laff.. see..

pax, astro, autum, enjoy your borders trip. i also feel like going. sigh!!

angel, wah!!! those comments i have here almost everyday. and I like sunsweet's replies. haha!!
guess what, he is outsiders leh, easy to one ear in one ear out.. can u imagine, my bil made worse comments before too... before he got married. now he got married liao, dunno if he still dare to say such thing.

star, just me more about SAHM stories leh. hee.
Rae has tiny feet, maybe not as stable ma. need a longer time to master her skill??? my cousin who started walking at 9 month has BIG feet leh. maybe that's y.
 
evelyn,
when tian says something her papa will repeat what she said after her. then he slowly changed the sounds after that.. that's what he told me. i printed some reading materials for him last time, hb said it was taught inside.
tian started with Ah-bu ah=bu when she was 8 motnhs old. then hb kept ah-bu with her for a few days, then become mama, papa already.
yes, we repeat words for tian.
 
Astro,
EJ in infant care la. hmm, but i am a bit lazy to move my butt, somemore face swollen.. later pple see me all run away! Guess i will guai guai stay at home.. wait for next round of Borders discount bah. seems like they have this very frequently wor.. dunno true or not.

QQ,
EJ keep saying ah-Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma.. but dunno is it just a sound he makes, or he is calling me, or he is refering to food.. haha...
 
autum,
yahor. your face still swollen now. take photo eh..
happy.gif

i had my one wisdom tooth extracted (came out already) but only 1 day mc. lots of blood... yeeks.
now EJ making the noise, soon he will call u mama liao. is EJ calling u mama or mamee?
 
QQ,
my face like zhu-tou hahahah.. hey how come u only 1 day mc for wisdom tooth? yours is extraction only is it? mine is extract for upper n surgery for lower.. that's why now face/cheek swollen.

EJ just say ma-ma-ma-ma-ma in a succession.. not mamee.. so definitely dun think he calling me leh.. but then i think maybe his IC teachers teach him to say mama.. dunno,
 
mejo ah?
YT dun drink milk at all? or is it because she dun like the taste? wanna change brand? last time tian also hates enfapro leh. she loves promil. now i changed to mamil gold, she is still ok,but i think she prefers promil cause she can drink very fast.

astro,
now after lunch i let tian drink water she doesn't want leh. then just before she naps i avoid milk, i give water, she wallop 3 oz. is this ok ah? cause after breakfast before nap she also like that. today she took 1/2 minibowl porridge, a bit more of fish + vege.,.. so i am quite happy, but she gave me tha vomitting sound after that. maybe taste too awful.
 


autum, yalor.. my tooth came out liao but pushing other teeth so better extracted cause too painful leh.
i was going to say pig head.. but i scare i hurt you ma.. cause u might be in pain and later angry. haha! u go take your pig head photo la. haha!!

I think EJ will pick up much faster cause he hears it from IC everyday.
