hi all, it will be uphill task for us to request for the cda benefits to be extended to us.
So we need everyone to help in this petition.
We are petitioning for the
- CDA to be given to child < 1.5 yrs old on 17 Aug.
- Reason being our child will be in the same batch as those in Aug-Dec. And we as parent will have to fork out more for our children education and medical expense because we do not enjoy CDA subsidy
Here's the plan
1. Calling government agency
Mothers who have abit of spare time this morning. Please make call to the following agency.
The Baby Bonus hotline
- 1800 253 7707 (Calling from Singapore)
- (65) 6253 7707 (Calling from overseas)
REACH
Toll free line : 1800 3535555
Also email to [email protected] , [email protected]
2. Petition

And we will send it out by this evening to pmo office.

missed out on the CDA benefits (i really care about the co-savings, can use for childcare right? and am planning to enrol my girl mah. 6k is a lot of money leh..)
my girl fell sick again and has mystry rash on her back. in addition, PD said her hypopigmentation from fungal rash will take a long time to clear.
talked to my mum regarding her taking care of my girl. quite upset she's still non-committal and skirting a lot of questions. when i asked her if she can handle my girl she answered instead my girl will get used to it and if she really cannot handle she'll bring my girl over to my house. huh? like my house got ghost and can help her take care of my girl meh? and if she some days bring to my house, some days dun and dunno what time she will if she does then my girl will be very confused. no routine to speak of! last night left my girl there for a while to go tuition, came back my girl was so warm and sweaty my mum still holding her tightly sitting in frnt of a fan (hello sweaty in front of fan is no good hor, will catch cold). then i hold her dunno why she just had a big cry. my mum quickly said she must be tummy-ache and she didn't drink her milk, and then say she must be having diarrhea and rash cos i ate too much chilli when i was preggy. but even if there were any truth in that it's no use nagging abt it now! and then nag a bit about baby drinking BM and all..
but the whole day she never cry at all and i fed her her medication liao. i held her until she's ok and she drank a bit of milk although she won't drink if she's so upset so means she must be very hungry liao
can't wait for things to get better..
jgal don get too upset. if to her 6k is a small sum, so be it.
i juz feel tat yes our parents do not have the baby bonus and they survived. but compare our living cost now and the past. definitely it is higher now. yes i have baby becos i love them not becos of $$. but if this extra money is here for me to spent it on my child, why not? i can afford more stuff for my child.
diff ppl have diff views. we couldnt see eye to eye everytime. you can continue wif the petition and those who wish to fight for it can join. those who don wish to, juz don voice out negative point. we are not desperate for the $$. if can have, good for us. if not, so be it.

lynn, me oso quite upset wif my mom taking care of my son. me part time working mum. as i leave the house really early, she stays overnite at my place. in the afternoon when i am home, i can hear her badmouthing me in front of my son. initially she was the one who told me cannot carry my boy too often. and she is the one doing it. so when i reminded her abt it, she would tell my son "wai po wan to carry u but ur mummy says cannot carry." when i bath my son she oso wanna "teach" me how to bathe him when she herself dare not bathe him. many many eg. the latest saga, over my son's heat rash. she saw tat his back was red and kept nagging at me abt it. have told her tat this happens cos he still donno how to sit and is on his back most of the time. but she still don get it and nag nonstop. almost quarrelled with her over it. sometimes she really makes me regret my decision to come back to workforce. not tat i am not appreciative of her help. it is her naggings tat i cannot stand. at least if i am SAHM, she wont need to help me in taking care of him and i would be free from naggings.

gd morning mamas: Dear what gloomy posts to start with today
For the CDA, I'm pretty sure we won't be the only ones who's hit. Got a friend who just popped 2 weeks ago and she ain't getting anything. How about that?
mushloom, hiaz finally i'm not alone. like why i'm not happy with my mum and everybody else's mum like so good like that? make me feel like a bad daughter for saying my mum's no good. but then my mum is one-kind one lah.
refuses to speak her mind or take a stand. so she appears to be very sui-bian but she's actually not, and she'll keep nagging or hinting to get things her way. so we all know liao, somtimes we buay-tahan ask her if she keeps hinting at something is it becos she wants it done her way she'll say no, anything also can. but non-stop of her comments etc until we do it her way. or if we ignore her constant hints she'll get angry, and she'll denay she's angry too. hiaz.. so we have to keep guessing what she wants cos she refuses to say it.
this time, regarding taking care of my girl at first she's very enthu cos my girl super easy to take care in the first month, drink milk and sleep only. then slowly she began to show less interest. then yesterday when asked her she still not very enthu so dunno if she's changed her mind but just dun wan to say. very sick ah, very stressed already still have to guess what she wants!

Lynn, mushloom: Sorry to hear about yr predicaments.
I am a SAHM so no such probs but I do have issues with my MIL whenever she comes over to babysit Jayden. Lots of struggling as she's a very proud women who doesn't take pple's suggestions no matter how well you put it across.
But I tell myself, hey it's either her or a stranger who's gonna babysit so still better to try and communicate with her. When I give up, just put up with it for the sake of Jayden

hi Mushloom,
The calendula cream is actually a moisturiser with healing effect. I am using it as a daily moisturiser and diaper cream now. If he has an attack, I'll put more often. My son's face feels like tofu. Hehe. I'm also scared that if my son wear singlet he will be cold. I realised my son can't wear collar t-shirt. Once he wear it, he will get his rash. I guess he is also allergic to adult. Last sunday, he lay on my mum's pillow and came back with lots of rash. I used the calendula cream for 3 days and the rash came down.
Hi Hoon,
You can try changing to Centaphil or Sebamed. Use anything that has no lather as it's very drying to the skin. I'm allergic to J & J so I didn't let my son try. He is using Sebamed now. I only bathe him in the morning and wipe him down at night. Try not to use too warm water.
