Steph, Chaye, poor thing, it's really not easy to discipline a toddler. Too slack, they climb all over you. Too tough, they think that beating is right.
Steph, RaeAnne is like that too. She started her nonsense of spitting out rice for a few weeks liao. As long bouncing on bed and walking around, refusing to sleep. She has done that for months. Once she free fall from my bed head board and landed on my wireless mouse receiver, causing it to snap internally so there goes my $39 microsoft wireless mouse. Just now, when I was trying to put her to sleep, she was also climbing up the ikea sofa bed beside her toddler bed, walk up and down. I just leave her be and pretend to sleep, while keeping half an eye on her. When hubby checked in on us (i closed the room door), he was shocked to see her standing on the sofa bed cos he's scared she will fall mah whereas I'm a bit numb liao. So, he carried her downstairs and push her around in a stroller and she fell asleep in less than 10 mins.
Anyway, me and hubby take turns for time out and cool down if we are mad with RaeAnne. But my hubby more patient than me, he only lost his cool a few times so far, he beat her mouth once. Whereas I smacked her backside (diaperless) once and left red marks.
Enemum, I tried the black pork shabu shabu at $21.90 but didn't find it any different from normal pork leh. Whereas my friend likes their black pork ramen. We went to the new outlet at Taka though, maybe liang court one is better? Anyway, if you are there, just try lor.
