(2007/10) October 2007 MTB

bbwow, yup yup. Sad to say the monster will give in once T starts whining away. Damn fed up whenever she started to tell me off wif her theories of how to take care of kids. I noe exactly wat I'm doing when handling T. If follow her method den T sure follow hb's footsteps which I dread to see. When I'm firm, den dat idiot hb will com n tell me off also coz he bth T whining away.

Sigh...

LOL at ur power of gambling...who takes care of them when u all MJ?
 


power la bbwow n chintz! hee hee.. i dunno hw 2 play mj.. wana learn only when i m 45? to prevent dementia! lol...

maruko, nvm.. u r alrdy trying! i never... haha! bt seriously, ur dat monster at hm cn drive any normal being insane leh! grr...
 
maruko.. *shake head* on ur MIL.. nvm... since u r the唱反调among them.. jus carry on wat u doing.. see who bth who =D tell ur hb he wants to see T w tu tu till primary schl meh?? but really no worry lor.. T will eventually gv up tu tu de if u insist...

jas.. so nice u saw rainbow tis morning.. hardly hv a chance to see nowsaday.. dayan must b v happy to see a rainbow =)

bbwow,ariajo.. we thot all MIA busy @ work.. didnt knw thread got prblm.. no wonder no posting last few days =D

ariajo.. oic.. i tink diff ppl got diff experience w contact lens.. all i knw is gotta waste $$ if gonna get replacement for disposable lens.. hiaz.. re naia.. wow.. the way u described she's another fast learner like zhenzhen's deb... then nxt we hear they can walk le =)
 
hippo, hahaha...so r u implyin dat im not normal? :p

junnie, frankly a part of me wanna juz bo chap n let them handle T themselves but as his mum, another part of me wan him to grow up n b a more responsible person. As for tu tu issue, dat monster kept sayin its juz a matter of time dat he will wean off himself. Den even added this boy gotta "slowly talk" to him den make him understand. Wat crap. I also noe lor. I oredi made him compromise last nite liao den she wanna interfere now. Once he started whining den gave in to all his requests.
A couple of times I told her dun give too many sweets to him coz he will b hyper active wif the sugar levels. She say where got such theory...not 1st time give liao. I dun wanna explain too much. Juz tell her its not gd for him to always ask for sweets. She juz dun get it dat ppl nowadays r more educated n noe more things so we noe wat to refrain from doing instead of repeatin in the same mistakes they did in old times. Stubborn old lady! Gosh...im rantin abt her AGAIN...really neverending...
 
Hello Mummies,
Busy busy at work. Weather also no good, now lucas is down with fever for the 4th day. He is still active and running around and perspiring so much, so, I am not too worried.

Maruko & Luncheon mummies
Where are we meeting for lunch tomorrow?

Maruko,
I know your fustration, but everyone has different way of handling kids, so, dont be too upset. I used to be super concern about all these till I get upset over it, then hb will tell me, "then you look after the kids full time your own way!!" Well, if I choose to work, then I will have to let others handle the kids in other ways....

Look at it this way.... staying with MIL has its pros and cons.... you get the pros too which some dont get.

Doobom,
Went to watch Ip Man 2 liao.. Really good show..... Donnie Yen is so cool!!!
 
maruko... no matter wat..u jus gotta stand your feet on discipline... re sweets.. sama sama... whenever we go 'reporting' on saturday, my kids will hv 'happy hours'.. cos their ah mah will gv 'free flow' of sweets, including 'kopi sweets' which i v pissed-off too (no offence to ppl here who luvs kopi candies hor.. keke)... i jus find it too sweet & i thot kopi too much for kids no good lor.. anyway... the kids will b v happy to stick w their ah mah, they even eat behind my back.. i also brought up the 'hyperactive theory'.. but it seems doesnt work for old folks... but my tolerance is ltd... for zann's time i still can keep quiet but behind i'll nagged at hb to do something if go reporting.. ever since #2, i bth liao... so i 'roar' as when my kids go off track no matter where they are... at least now MIL knw how to see my face if 'change color', she'll tell the kids 'go ask ur mummy permission 1st' (tat's when i'm ard lah, i nvr leave them there w/o me cos i duno wat rubbish they b fed)...i even take the bottle of sweets & keep it in the kitchen cabinet infront of MIL sametime yelling at my kids telling them there's a ltd of eating sweet/tibits/junk food... 1 or 2 is ok, but not sooo many is tooo unhealthy. my sis always tell me see on another view... their grandparents dotes on them tat's y gv in to them.. i said correct but once they gv in the kids will climb over our head liao, nxt time wanna discipline will b super difficult, so i better make sure they cry now (if got punished) rather than i cry nxt time (if they bcom 问题儿童or少年)... the oni way is to keep instilling proper tinking in our kids so they wont b so easily influenced by others..
 
Tiffany, yup yup...every1 got diff ways of handling kids. The only pros dat I can tink of for stayin wif this monster is dat I no need to do much household chores. She handles most herself coz she is particular abt it. Can't tink of any others liao but got loads of CONS dat I can list out. kekeke... :p

junnie, heng u only need to deal wif her during reportin time...im ok wif T eatin sweets but she is givin as n when he ask for it lor. I dun wan it to bcom a habit. There r a couple of occasions when T kept refusin to sleep when its over bedtime den I asked her if she gave him sweets. She will b very defensive den say no such thing as give sweets den he cant sleep. -_-
As for the disciplinary part, she also bth T sometimes den raised her voice at him. But once he whine den she soft liao. I tell her off directly lor. I say "u wanna b fierce den u shld do it all the way." She herself noes dat T is oredi climbin over everyone's head except mine coz im firm wif him. Den she will say stupid things like "He only need to b scared of 1 person enuff liao"...wat kinda crap.
 
hihi Tiffany,

read about your IUD. do you feel anything 'below' after you put it on?

I wanted to watch Ip Man 2 but hubby no time! sob!!
sad.gif


junnie, maruko,
I understand how you feel. sometimes if want to give snacks, there are lots of alternative healthier snacks to give also. To say they give in is just an excuse.

at least it's your in-laws that give so it's 自己人“, not happy also can show color. my side is my in-law neighbour. They always give treats to J and always Oreo cookies, marshmellows in those small packs!!! I see them give once/twice I kept quiet then J start to ask them EVERYDAY and they also give! I got so angry I told hub "If I smoke, I sure go and give a ciggie to their teenage son" hahaha...wu liao thought but really bth them. At first I thought they're so nice dote on J, but slowly I can't help but feel that they're indirectly harming my child. next time become fat/tooth decay or what blame who? and there are so many snacks out there, why must be oreo and marshmellows?

luckily this time my MIL side me, she told me the neighbour give until accumulate 4-5 BIG packs and she have to go factory to give those china colleagues. Can you imagine if J consume all of that!

sorry ah. end up I'm the one ranting. hahahha
 
maruko,

maybe you'd like to buy your own snacks to give T and pass them to your MIL? That's what I did also. like sweets, I bought the karihome milk sweets so my MIL stopped giving marshmellows or gummy bears or what rubbish. Then I told her INSTRUCTIONS on the tin SAYS MAX IS 5 pc/day cannot eat overdose. So she guai guai listen also. kekekeke
 
Maruko,
Hey, give birth to #2 and the PROS list will pro-long.. kekkekeke

bbwow,
How come you asking about IUCD? Arent you going for #2?? Anyway, to answer you and FYI, absolutely no feeling at all these while it is inside me. Even verified with hb, he said cannot feel anything...

The show will still be showing for awhile, do find time when he is free... lucky the show is only 180mins.. not so long. Really worth watching.

Hello... tomorrow lunch where to meet?
 
Hi mummies!

Thanks for all the concern. The girls and I are all doing better today.
happy.gif


CM, I have been using nose drops. Guess her cold was more serious, so take a while to clear up? Anyway, I’m amazed that Carlson can break your cane. He’s so strong!

Maruko, the way you tricked T into giving up his pacifier is so funny. But he’s so guai. I doubt my girl would be able to handle it so well, if it was her. But really BTH your MIL... hope the studio apartment will be completed soon, so that you can get her out of your hair.

Totoro, I’m sure Kelly will be fine in school. She’s not hyperactive, just active like a normal 2-3YO.

Hippo, you mean Ayden has toilet trained himself!!!!! I’m so envious... Hannah has only just started being diaper free during the day, and only at home too. When we go out, she’s still in diapers. But today, I decided to be “adventurous”, and let her go to school in her training pants. And my little girl managed to stay dry the whole time. I’m so proud of her.

re: lunch
i'm ok with sushi tei or handburger (wherever that it). but prefer not to go thai express cos my throat still a bit sore. don't want to aggravate it. unless majority votes for that.
happy.gif
 
zhenzhen,
wow... has she started to crawl? i'm also quite shock with Naia's development too and she too like to stand on her feet!
 
zhen ... this is the 2nd cane that he broke ok ...
sad.gif

WOW clap clap for Ded... so is fast and strong ...
happy.gif
U need to run after her very soon

Maruko, hmmm yr MIL waste yr time and effort

doobom ... ha for yr info ... i can finish a 1 kg pack of milo in 1 week ... i drink really think milo kekeke during confinememt hahahaha less den 4 days 1 refill pack kekekeke
 
wow Naia is also another fast bb ... and Ayden know how to inform U when he wanna poo or pee ?? clever boy
happy.gif


MJ hahaha i am missing it too ...
 
Bbwow, no prob abt ur rantin away. We r here to listen. Will check on e sweet u mentioned but again I doubt dat old lady will listen.

Tiffany, u muz b kiddin. :p

Guess wat? I bumped into my neighbour downstairs when reachin home. We had a casual chat as usual n den suddenly she was askin me "u trying to wean Travis off pacifier har? Cannot so sudden one. Muz slowly let him wean off" wat the hell? How in e whole world does she noe abt it? Dat bit** muz hav been tellin tales to her behind my back. Wat is she tryin to do? Make ppl approve of her actions? Or wanna make my reputation go down? I was so pai seh after my neighbour said dat coz she is a nice old lady. Can only smile back n dunno wat to say. Damn scheming old monster b****.
 
ariajo, naia is another fast one. and yes, deb is starting to crawl. and she's trying to do it on all fours too.

maruko, your MIL is too much. sayang sayang ok.

errr... so where is tmr's lunch? i will be heading out early tmr. if you don't see me online, can someone sms me the venue? maruko, can i trouble you? i will PM you my hp no.
 
junnie and Jas ... where did u stay when u go to taiwan ??? ...we are thinking of going there end of june ... and also where are the place to go ? thanks for info
happy.gif
 
Gd morning mummies...

zhen zhen, no prob. will b waitin for ur PM.

CM/chintz/zhen, I was so tempted to "ask" her last nite if she told dat neighbour but I decided against it. 我忍...wait till 1 fine day when she stepped on my tail again den I won't hesitate to 下逐喝令. Wat an idiot. I made a table reservation on sun to celebrate mother's day wif her & my family. End up she say "u go ahead wif ur mum lah...I dun wanna go", which is quite usual coz she seldom joins in for our feasts. When I told my mum, she said my mil muz b no face to see her for wat she has done to her bao bei daughter. Wah...I hear liao wanna cry in my mum's arms. But I didnt lah. In dat instant, I suddenly recall abt a story I read yrs ago. It was abt a little boy who grew up wif a tree. Whenever the boy was happy or sad, the tree will b there to shelter him, standin strong. The tree signifies family. I noe my parents will b there for me when I need them, shelterin me. But of coz I dun wanna let them worry for me. So...忍忍忍...
 
Ok...shall we head to Sushi Tei? Any objections? If not den its decided.

Your MIL probably nothing to chat so end up gossiping. Guess have to either ignor her or 'remind' her not to do it.

Mummies,

Maruko,
Good that you ren... to avoid more problem. Anyhow, you are still in the same roof with her, no point have cold war, it will be hard on everyone at home. Just try to see open. Do it for the sake of your hb and T. T will learn from you too... Sometimes, we just have to put on mask lor... set good examples for the kids, eventhough we dont like it.... See ya later.. cant wait to see how slim you are later...

I brushed it aside liao. But if I hear the matter from another person, I sure will tell her off. I got my own "plans" on how I want my son to grow up lor. Will tell her to shut her own mouth. I won't b 客气 wif her since she dun appreciate me at all.

junnie, she told me got another "celebration" for her own mother - which means my hb's granny, on sat evenin. So expect us to go lor. Damn sianz to deal wif the ppl there. All hypocrites.

so far my MIL has been coming to help take care of yr every mon + fri for the past mth. so far so good. *fingers crossed* but hb going to bring us on a trip (us, yz and the inlaws. peanut not going staying w my mum) in aug. just a short cruise trip. but im ALREADY dreading it. sigh.
 
tiffany: i also want to put the IUD but still undecided when to put.. now still undecided if want to go for #3 though its more or less a NO. haah. but hb quite against the idea of putting foreign object in me so hes not keen on the idea. actually me too.. maybe wait till after 35 then i will put cos i confirmed dun want to give birth after that!

doobom: hope J's swollen eyes will be ok after eye drops from doc.
 
ecookie.. u r still soooo young.. no need consider 1st =) huh.. howcome dun bring peanut along? by aug he'll b 7/8 mths le rite?
