Muddypie,
ya loo.. got + and - for not having close family around, for example when having baby but still want to continue working, nobody to help out taking care of Ike while I work, so must look for a maid, lucky my friend was assigned to Beijing and she had 2 maids and China only allowed her to bring 1 so she transferred the other to me.. if not I dunno how to find maid from agents, v v scary.. Tried to interview full day nannies but nobody can make my heart at ease..
but yeah even when I am back to jakarta for holidays, my own mom sometimes irritates me hahaha.. cos she's still thinking if in Jakarta, I must be under her radar so she will call me or hubby when we're out after 10pm checking on us kakakakaka.. Can't imagine if it's MIL definetely will get worse cos irritated but cannot say anything cos want to keep healthy relationship!
My brother and his wife used to live with my mom for a year but a lot of friction, somemore both my bro and his wife are the type who can't do housework so the air in the house was really bad during hari raya when all maids gone back to their kampung..
Chatty,
ya full time mom is very exhausting although happy even when we get just a little giggle hahaha.. I feel it every sundays..

mommies,
asking for your advice:
I posted a WTS for Ike's bedrail.. then one mommy emailed to reserve and confirmed. She said her hubby will come collect within same week, then made appt with me.. I said OK.. then on appt day I waited till 9.15pm (said coming between 8-9pm) then I sms-ed still coming? then she said hubby forgot so now he's otw home oredi.. but she said confirmed still, just give her few more days to make another arrangement, meanwhile she asked for my acct# so can trasnfer to me.. I said no probs and gave her my acct #. She said she will transfer in weekend and will collect b4 labour day so I just waited.. Then I realized till 1st may I never heard from her, checked my acct no transfer. THen I sms-ed her if she still wants the bedrail, she said pls give her 1 more week as she was holidaying and will be back by sunday (4th May) and will transfer on Sunday, but rest assure she confirms buying the bedrail. I waited again till today , checked my acct, still no transfer. Then I sms-ed her pls confirm by today or by midnight I will release to sale again.. note that I've had 1 person on queue since last week when she was holidaying, and 2 more mommies interested that I had to turn away cos I've made commitment..
My Q is, if by midnight tonight I dont get any reply from her, I can just release for sale again, right? Despite her last SMS on Sunday 4th may that she still confirm buying and I can be rest assure (this is exactly what she said in the sms)?

The Wooden Bowl
Dear all,
Talking about ILs, er.. I want to share this article that I received this morning.. It is so touching!
I guarantee you will remember the tale of the Wooden Bowl tomorrow, a week from now, a month from now, a year from now.
A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and four-year - old grandson. The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered.
The family ate together at the table. But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth.
The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess. 'We must do something about father,' said the son. 'I've had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor.'
So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner. There, Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner. Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl.
When the family glanced in Grandfather's direction, sometimes he had a tear in his eye as he sat alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food.
The four-year-old watched it all in silence.
One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, 'What are you making?' Just as sweetly, the boy responded, 'Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and Mama to eat your food in when I grow up. ' The four-year-old smiled and went back to work.
The words so struck the parents so that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks.
Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done.
That evening the husband took Grandfather's hand and gently led him back to the family table. For the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family. And for some reason, neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled.
On a positive note, I've learned that, no matter what happens, how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.
I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles four things:
a rainy day, the elderly, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.
I've learned that, regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.
I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as making a 'life..'
I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.
I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back
I've learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you But, if you focus on your family, your friends, the needs of others, your work and doing the very best you can, happiness will find you
I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.
I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.
I've learned that every day, you should reach out and touch someone.
People love that human touch -- holding hands, a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.
I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.
I've learned that you should pass this on to everyone you care about .I just did.

COla,
I've read this in bahasa Indonesia before.. yes yes very touching.. sometimes we forget that when we were babies, we're the ones who needed helps and compassions too.. I told my bro and sis, to remember naughty stuffs we did when we were little that made our parents had to pay, i.e. breaking window at a shop, dropping bottle jars in supermarket etc,.. yet we only got untraumatic scolding (untraumatic cos till now I didnt remember how we were being reprimanded!!)

Hello Chatty,
Great that James is all well! Enjoy your time with little James
Jete,
You must be very happy that Paige called MAMA
Ning,
I dunno how to give u advise but I think you could just drop her an sms saying, if she didnt transfer by midnite, you will put up the sale again.
If she is really keen, she should at least make payment and collection could be arranged later rite?
Muddypie, xue, cin
I guess all ILs are doting their grandkids a lot, thats y they will want to pacify the babies when they cry, and not forgetting they will have those old thinking that babies shouldnt be left crying for too long
It is all about give and take!
I would agree not easy staying with ILs, but so far my ILs are very nice and I dont have prob getting along with them now.
I am grateful of their willingness to help to take care of Meg, if not, I wouldnt know how
Jessel,
Thanks, never thought that my age issue would become a woo haaahh
Cin,
I didnt know u talked to my hubby during gathering ler, perhaps I was too busy at that time kekekekke

KK Hospital was quite good. According to my colleague who is super anti KKH and always go to Mount Elizabeth. Her son was said to be sick for normal reasons but then suddenly her son had rashes and ulcers and asked me what to do, i asked her to go KKH and guess what, she said they are very professional though it's super duper long wait...hee..my brother always ask me go but i never did cos the wait is long..

Xue - then you are really lucky that your hubby sides you. My husband always CLAIMs that he will be impartial but when it comes to an argument, he will just side with his mother. I do hope my son will be like my husband now.
But one thing is, luckily my in law is not that difficult type. She is clean, conscientious but a bit old fashioned at times in her thinking but strangely she adapts well to my style maybe cos she knows my son is g6PD that's why she listen to me cos she never managed a baby with G6PD before..
She always tell me that since her son ( my husband ) is filial to her, then my son will in turn be filial to me. that i really and surely hope its true!

Cin,
We are the same age! I still dun knoow how I'm suddenly so old! Seems like yesterday I was still enjoying uni days. Now am a tired mommy.
On husbands, I'm a SAHM. My hubby works long hrs, alway comes home at 10pmish or later and I know that he really wants to watch TV and relax. But my ds often refuses to sleep till 12am. I'm so tired out after looking after ds that I need help- no choice. I feel so bad about it but will probably feel resentment if he doesn't help.
Sometimes I tell him to rest because I feel sorry that he has worked so hard then get angry when I can't cope. Conflicting feelings...
New maid flying in tomorrow, hope that helps the situation although DH doesn't want maid to touch his precious boy, just to do housework.
On ILs,
My boy can do no wrong in their eyes. If he wees on them, they just clap and say what a clever boy he is...funny but I worry that they will spoil him in future.

wah!so many posts in one afternoon.
ning
my in laws has a daughter who has migrated to the states n my sil has got 2 boys. so glad they r coming back for holidays in aug, at least she can shift her attention to the other 2 boys. part of reason why titus needs us to carry so long b4 we put him down is becos of her. since newborn, she always like to carry him. she can carry him for 2 hrs while he is sleeping in her arms.
in laws
one of the reason why i dun like to stay with in laws is my mum cant stay overnight with me.its inconvienient cos its not my own place n she will not feel comfy too. actually when we r preparing to get married, my mil without consulting us, already told us officially that she has re renovated hb's room for us. its all plan properly n we dun have the heart to tell her actually we want our own place. but from the rate that she is spoiling my son, i thk its better to move out. anyway i explained to hb that since both of them r well n healthy, let us move out n start our own family. but of course when they r old or sickly, we will do our duty n get them to stay with us to look after them.
ning, like what u said, its tough when things sometimes get irritable, u still have to tolerate in order to have peace at home. but i am glad that so far i have no clashes with her n i have learnt to be a more patient person. i am also touched that she told me i respect her more than her own daughter. hah! so i thk its better to move out when the r/s is still good.
mudpie
i thk u better talk to your hb if you dun want them to stay with u. cant avoid the topic n its a major decision. let your hb know u dun want him to be caught in between 2. i just dun understand why asian parents always want their children to stay with them after they got married. wouldnt they want their own space too?
hb
i thk in a marriage there is bound to be quarrels. for me, i always make sure we make up before we hit the bed. not good to have resentment. in long run it can destroy a marriage.
ok, enough of washing dirty underwear in the public.
aiyo, realise i sound so serious in this post.

Leooh / rc_cola: Thanks : ) No choice but to go to TMC coz my PD only has admitting privileges there and I don't want to PD-hop...sigh!
xman: Not sure about KKH doctors, but waiting for a few hours to see one in the KKH ER would be worse, as baby could catch another virus. At TMC, horrible as the GPs are, the waiting time is less than 15 mins...

good morning mummies, lucky today the post not so much to catch up..
Jete,

and congrats yr eyes are ok and paige call u mama..
Adeline,
congrats you find a job!
cola,
lucky u hv such nice ILs to take care Megan, envy envy..
xue,
yr MIL so scary, the way she pull the gals legs scare me. that's the reason I dont want nanny to take care bb as we dont know how they treat bb. at least I can see how my parents take care bb, if it's not right I just tell them and hope they can change, of cos they also argue with me said no problem at all, it's me too fussy but I still will voice out since it's my own parents.
an_gal,
we hv paid 50% down payment for the window grill, the guy told me the price will increase at 15th may, so I faster make payment, maybe it's just his sales stragy lah but recently everything price increase so I dont want to wait liao. I also dont like the grill that's why remove it when I do the renovation, but now got bb, better play safe.
re:KKH,
last time when ruoxi is 1 months old we brought her to KKH due to her phlegm problem. the waiting time is only like several mins leh, maybe cos it's weekday morning?

leooh, i had duphaston also..mine was like 4 times a day too and i hate it. Cos i hate to eat vitamins or supplements of any kind. This is like 'An Tai' medicine
It's not cheap. Per pill is like $1.50

Actually KKH not that bad. I have a few occassion where I need to send my children to the A&E in the middle of the nite due to high fever. After registering at the counter, I was always told to walk into the consultation room straight away, maybe they are having high fever ie 39 degree. So far, they have not failed me
Gold-piggy/bliss
ya really not cheap,and i had to buy 80pills for 20 days!
i don't hate taking them but i always forget to eat.most of the time i only eat 3 times per day.
(Guilty)
not feeling nauseous yet,no vomiting yet..but really tired most of the time.very good appetite!(except for when i ate very oily stuff)

RE: mama
hee sorry, didn't tell my story well. paige has been calling mama for 2 months already, so it wasn't a surprise. i got a kick out of it cos i raise my voice and she also raise her voice, she tot it was a game even tho i was actually scolding her.
RE foto u package
I didn't sign up for the package. Paige won a photo contest and the package was the prize.
still waiting to see what time is my mom's surgery.
chatty
KKH ER will go quite fast if it's serious case. My wait was less than 5 mins and Paige wasn't considered serious. that was the first screening. After that then its the long wait. But if James had been so sick, he wouldn't have to wait after the first screening, he'll get priority.
leeoh
i know lah, cos you said before you left your auntie just came mah. but a trip is always very helpful in ttc lor. I got almost all of my + tests after trips/hols. so maybe your baby will come in 2008 rather than 2009 huh?

good luck for ur mum's surgery!
wow paige won a photo contest?she's so clever,she must be the first baby in our thread to call mama
baby might arrive early,but EDD is 3 Jan 09,which is my mum's birthday.I think i'll schedule for c-section 4 Jan la,want her to be full term. From my experience with Enci,don't think i'll be able to give birth naturally..

not sure which baby started talking first here. maybe paige is the talkative one in the aug group. she just started calling after mumbling mamamama for a while. last month started on papa. now can combine mama and papa. i told hubby she got him wrapped around her fingers. he melts when he comes home, she sits on his lap, looks up at him and call "papa". lol
yours is a repeat c right? i dont think can wait past edd isn't it, i tot usually they will ask you to schedule the c before edd in case you go into labor yourself?

Nining: If she delayed so many times, then I really wonder if she's serious. She could have told you right at the outset or after her hubby forgot to pick up the bedrail, that she was going on holiday. If she doesn't respond by the latest deadline, sms her and let her know that you can't wait longer and risk not making a sale at all...then give it to the next mummy in line.

Leooh,
Yours 1st was c-sect? Same as mine but gynae said can go ahead and try natural this round. Mine edd is 25 Nov. Just past my 1st trimester yesterday. Jia you
If you intend to go for c-sect, usually will be arranged in 38-39 weeks. dun think you will be able to push it past edd

i would just sell it to someone else. she took too long to close the deal. and a few empty promises on payment and collection. i would suggest giving her a deadline for payment and collection, tell her you are going out of the country and wish to settle this before you go.

Nining, i agree with Jete, give her deadline for payment and collection, if she still did not do so then give to next mummy.
i have 1 experience reverse of this. on mid-week i actually reserved for an item in WTS, i told the mummy that i will pickup from her place on that weekend, its confirmed. she even sms me her address, so everything confirmed. she sms also that if i wnt pick up that weekend she will sell to another one, so i replied confirming that i will definitely pickup that weekend as im very keen of the item but just was busy during weekdays as such unable to go to her place (her place is out of the way from office to our house). but then the next day she sms me saying that another mummy came to pickup the item and she sold to her. i was really not happy with that mummy because everything we have agreed and confirmed but she still sold to another one. she should have told me that she want to dispose of the item urgently (meaning that day or 1 day after). luckly i did not transfered any money as i said i will pay upfront.
but even with this bad experience, i still buy from WTS, BP and sprees. life goes on they say, and not all sellers are like her =)
