gingerleaf, hmm.. u just provided some food for thought.. i dunno if my parenting method is any parenting method at all.. for me n hb, we dun bother with these stuff. cos there's simply too many pple at home fighting to dote on & spoil her. however, these very same pple are also the ones who will not hesitate to smack & scold her when she is rude or has done something wrong.
and we dun blink an eye or stop them cos we do the same to my cousins when they need disciplining. i always say i m spoilt but i know for sure my manners when needed. and this reali has to do with upbringing. i tink itz really abt striking a fine balance between protecting & spoiling & disciplining. i am grateful so far for the disciplining done but I WILL NOT tolerate if it is not out of good intentions. =D
thanks gingerleaf for the kind reminder... made me pause & tink.. cos i never bothered.. haaha!

gingerleaf: yah good point will take note. for me my mum is the disciplinarian. but she wont tolerate if i bully other pple. so i think its abt instilling the right values so even if the mummy not ard, the kid will know what is the "right" things to do.
discipline should be a complimentary tool not the essential tool i feel. imparting right values n manners still the most impt!

dreamz,
Now I see more from your post, I hope you are not offended in any way from my earlier post. I just thought sometime could be 当局者迷。 It difficult to handle mother in law since it would 'involve' our hubby. I would agree in this case that your hubby shouldn't ask you to quit because of just that one day thing - a bit over reacted. I sincerely hope that things can work out between you, hubby and MIL. Maybe, interim .. you can take leave on the day that your MIL is suppose to come ? So that it change from "i don't want you to come ....to I don't need since I'm home" or try look for 1 day a week day care , or baby sitter ?
bbwow,
if don't change than guess you have to complain to town council or neighbourhood police liao lor.
ecookie,
My mum started to look after Caelen at the age of coming to 61 (her birthday in Dec) last year. She does say it's very tiring, lucky got my dad to help look after.
bbwow,
tell them "no worries, I can handle on my own. I also want to try to be independant. If anything, for sure I'll call you for help"
That what I tell my PIL whenever my hubby is oversea.
totoro_bb,
I love Kelly's eyes !!!!!

I agree with gingerleaf too. I also tell my family. Do scold / beat if it's for his good. I also believe spare the rod, spoil the child. And I believe, "it only people who love you would bother to discipline you when you'd done wrong. If I don't love you, why I bother?".
Oh, one more thing... courtesy..
I feel upset that more and more children like don't know what is courtesy ..take things for granted. Simple things like saying thank you when someone help to hold the lift doors open for you or even to help hold the lift door open for others. Sad to say, even the parents are not setting the example. As a matter of fact, most of the time, it's the grandparent who say 'thank you' or tell the grandchild that they must say thank you.

jovialz, courtesy??? in sg? i always tink i m the rare species who's like an idiot going around saying thank u to aunties who clean the tables at foodcourts, taxi uncles after they send me back, pple who hold the lift & the door.. i dun mind saying thank you and i always do it very gladly cos it makes pple's day!! =D
BUT!!! there are bleddy idiots out there who know nuts abt doing the same!!! i have held lift doors for pple to come in and stare at me like i m some freaking lift service person. i have held the doors for pple to think i m the doorman.. sigh.. and kids not saying thank you? itz just so sad..
i have "scolded" some parents before at jurong point. The library used to be on the 6th floor. and there was once i needed to go to the 5th floor. i held the lift door for some parents n their kids and they are obviously gg to the library. guess wat? they just walked in, stared at me and expected the lift door to open n close just as they wish without lifting a finger. i turned around n told my hb very loudly.. "watz e point of bringing ur kids to the library and read so many books when u dun even teach them basic manners???" and walked out on 5th floor. i was PISSED! but felt so great.. i just hope they will think abt it.. haha..

bbwow,
Actually, I start looking after my 2 dogs and baby alone when Caelen 6 week to 8 weeks old (hubby is in town but working during the day). But since I return back to work, Caelen stays with my mum from monday morning to friday evening. I'll bring him back home on friday night and kept him till monday morning then send him back. So I insist that this arrangement should not be changed even when hubby is away.
Our parent / in law do get 'worried' when hubby is not ard and wonder if we can handle on our own. Thus, over the month, I establish the independance ... thru little things. like going to change baby alone at shopping mall, bring him back alone while hubby is away etc. After a while, they gain confidence and will not ask you to stay over unless you request to. Remember, generally, it's out of love and goodwill that they ask you to stay over
Hippo,
Like that say, I also special species. I also say thank you to cleaner...others...and every morning greet the HDB cleaning aunty... *no wonder my floor alway quite clean*
I agree that it make people's day... I always see the table cleaners smile back when you show appreciation.

re: discipline
i'm also a firm believer of spare the rod, spoil the child too. and i don't mind others punishing hannah either if she does something obviously wrong or dangerous. guess the only concern about others disciplining is what they deem to be inappropriate behaviour or what they consider appropriate punishment.
re: courtesy
sigh... it's almost non-existent in singapore. dunno how many doors have "slammed" on my face, because the person before doesn't have the courtesy to hold it open. ah well...

re: Fetching baby,
Seems some of you not confidence in drving around with baby alone.
At 1st they might make noise and cry.
1) Just turn around and peep if they are ok when it's safe to do it (i.e at traffic lights).
2) If yes, just tell yourself to concentrate on the road...ask yourself..which is worst, to shift your eyes away from the road and risk getting into an accident or baby have sore throat?
3) Keep telling baby that your need to concentrate on the road (don't turn head back)
4) After a few times, somehow they'll know.
5) Can help by having some toys (ideally can be attached to something so that they won't drop onto the floor) to keep them occupied.
6) Play music or children songs.
7) Suggest you practice doing this once a while so that at least when there is an emergency, you could be confidence enough to pop in the car and go (without having to wait for someone or taxi to come and fetch you.

haha... me not offended about ur input at all. instead it got me thinking also. yes, i admit i was a bit extreme not to allow my IL over. coz i felt that though she comes in just 1 day, gives comments and starts a conflict btw hubby n me then she's off. rest of the week we've to patch things up, compromise. when everything is fine by weekend, she comes in on 1 weekday and things go haywire again.
its this non-stop weekly bickering then compromising then bickering then compromising, roller coaster ride that drives me up the wall.
zhen zhen
thx for the tips. i've decided that to avoid being deemed as 'heartless' by hubby's side, have decided to give things a last try. if she comes in and starts to give her point of view, in her sugar coated reason of caring for the baby, i'll just firmly tell her that i'm the child's mother, i'm also concern for the child and that i will not do things that will harm the child. i guess i've to be firm when it comes to issues dealing with my child. and part time infant care option is feasible...
on that line, i do agree with some of the points raised about discipline. i see alot of students acting like there's 'no government' in schools nowadays. such problem students often stem from lack of proper family support and intervention. when they are not properly disciplined as a child, they grow up having the incorrect values and behaviour. there's a fine line to thread between what's right and wrong. thus, in short, as far as possible, we have to see things from not just the adult but the child's point of view and not tell the child straight away that he's wrong but to reason with the child and let him realise the consequences of his actions.
bbwow
ur post about getting lost while driving was v.cute. that's my greatest nightmare when comes to driving. i'm so worried that i'll miss a turn. if i ever do get lost, i'll freak out. commented to hubby that i wanna get GPS but he refuse and told me to read maps. i can't read map n drive at the same time! i'm not a multi-tasker while on the road.
thus, when comes to unfamiliar routes, i rather take public transport than drive!

Glad u have things sorted out. It's not easy to deal with elders ESP when they dun have eq. But never let them sour yr relationship with hubby. So not worth it.

nowadays I can't drive with Jae alone in the car seat. She will fuss and cry thru out the whole journey. It is really very stressful!
But I found a solution to it! I let her watch her favourite show in the car. And cheapo mummy didn't buy the proper in-car DVD player instead use the PSP, downloaded all her favourite shows and tie it onto the front headrest.
Result - No more crying!
Last time before pregnant, whenever I saw car with the in-car entertainment, playing cartoon for the kids sitting behind, I always think the children are so pampered! In the car also want to watch cartoon, so spoilt! But now, I understand, this is for the safety of the children. At least now she will kwai kwai sit there and watch.

driving w bb alone,
initially v scary leh, even a short distance from my MIL place to my place (10mins), he will cry non stop.. that when he is v young, 3-4 mths. Now is better, he can self entertained.
Just remember, never stop the car 4 them. Bbies r smart.. once u do it, they will come up with the same pattern again and again. Mummies can practice first mah, drive wit yr hubbies, but put bbies alone at the back.

discipine children.
My stand is that is the job of the parents. I can undersand that u smack him if he is doing something dangerous but u cannt smack my child cos his behaviour is not to yr liking. I dun limit my child at home that he cannpt touch tis and that.. of course when he is at my MIL place, he will do that..
if he get smacked doing someting that is 'OK-ed" by his parents, kids will grow up as aconfused child. He will learn to jian feng shi duo.
i got no problem when my MIL discipine birg, cos she is his care giver when im not around, she has the right to do that. But not my BIL!!

hi mummies,
sorry been mia for very long.. been reallee busy with work and clare. find it more and more tiring to juggle work and bb.. (thinking real hard hope i can possibly cope with a no 2. maybe should stop at 1??)
anyway, need advice from mummies who's feeding soy based milk or goat milk to their bb now. feeding milk to clare has been a diffcult battle everyday. she will start crying or moaning when she sees the milk bottle coming and we hv to force feed her to get her to drink dat 100ml of milk. these few days, the average milk feed with me is only 50ml.
tried changing the formula brand and it's the same. hv this feelin dat she doesnt like formula milk.
thinking of getting alteratives for her. wat brand of soy-based milk is good?
is it recommended for them to take goat milk now?

brought clare to the movie theatre for the 2nd time last sunday! 1st time was months ago and we din dare to try till last week.
hubby wanted to bring his family to watch "money no enuff" and so we booked the morning slot which coincide with her naptime. Thankfully, she slept 1.5 hours and we absolutely enjoyed the movie!
so super duper glad that she's so cooperative

Jacq,
soy milk is not reco for long time consumption. Soly milk has not lactose (if i remember correctly). Once bbies r 1yr, can give them fresh milk instead. But is upto individual, most locals r not comfortable giving fresh milk.... but as long as u can provide the bbies with the needed nutirents in his solid meals, milk is just to supplement calcium etc only.
goat milk got fresh milk to... can order from hay farm.. v fresh
