Lefty,
Nice shot! The last time I saw them at IMM, they were still so "tiny". Now all grown up already.
Melissa,
Talking about me ah? Yah.. come to think of it, I'm also a very lax mom (I'm definitely guilty of that). Maybe because I've got so many nieces and nephews, and I learn all the "good and bad" parenting styles fm sis/bro/sil. So I always tell myself, good one I follow, no good I make sure I don't do it.
As far as bb's milestones are concern, I'm one really bochap mom. Take for eg when dd1 was taken care by my sis, I NEVER call her in the day to ask her abt my bb. She'll be the one calling me to update this and that, and I rem telling her to stop calling me for such trival matters
DH was away the past few nights and my mil is very kind to come over at night to sleep with the 2 elder kids, she was afraid I can't handle 3. We were chitchatting and she told me when she was taking care of my niece, my sil will call home daily to check on them, ie what time were they fed, nap, pass motion etc... MIL also commented both SIL and I total extreme cases kekeke For me, I feel that you must have trusted that person in order for you to entrust your bb in his/her care. That being the case, why call to check? And even if you call, what can you do? And since you can't do much, why call?
Also, dd1 is in K1 now. Everyday, I'll ask if she has homework/spelling and if yes, she has to do it after lunch. If she chooses to play/nap/draw or do anything else except school work, I'll only remind once. If she decides to ignore me again, I'll just leave her alone. She has to ans to the teacher why she didn't do her homework or get zero for her spelling. I feel that she must learn cause and effect. My mil says I'm very mean. Oh well.. that's just me lah
