Cactus,
My bb usually wakes up at 6+ when we bring her to my mum's place and will nap for 2 to 3 hours (on good days) at about 9+ or 11+am. Then she will nap another 1 to 2 hrs in the afternoon.
Feifei,
My bb cried so badly lor. So xin tong, then she cannot stop. Keep crying and crying. My MIL oso duno what ti do. She's ok once we leave her place. In fact, she stopped at the lift landing and ok when in teh car. She even fell aslp on the way home. I think too tired from crying too hard. Now, I scare at the tot of bringing her to my MIL's place or anybody's place. haiz..
Babycupid,
I never shave my ger. All the while she very little hair but I noticed that her hair is finally starting to grow, but slowly.

BabyCupid, I will let her know,
. Your boy is really like happy go lucky. My gal too, when outside, biz looking around. Even when she is in nanny's house and I went to find her, she is like reserving her smiles for her nanny and pa-nanny only.
Leng Leng, Cornelius' hair grows fast huh? My gal one very slow leh.

feifei, yeah. condo bedrooms very small. That's why I prefer landed. Cos landed bedrooms tend to be more spacious.
kye, yes! nursing cups are those with handles and a teat. It didn't work for my boy .
ZuEn, wow! Your baby is so typical!! The prob with my baby is he doesn't sleep easily. He needs to be rocked to sleep. So I can't figure out if he wants to truly sleep or if he is just being carried for fun, then carried to sleep. Cos his sleep is man-induced, if you understand what I mean. If he is very very tired, he can fall asleep by himself if I place him on his bed by sucking his fingers. that's about it. but before that, he gets very very fussy and wants to be carried around all the time! Luckily I have the maid to do the carrying!

OMG, today's topic still on Cactus' terrace house ah? Now also talking abt her maid/s & her family income? Too much details is going to bore this forum & our dear mummies.
Cactus,
I pity your son cos fr your posts, u mentioned that u r still on leave which means u'll b able to spend more time wif your son b4 u return to work but sad to say u r not able to calm your bb when he fuss but instead u passed him to your maid to do the carrying. From a psychological point of view, your boy is probably severely insecured & that may b the reason y he needs to b carried & rocked frequently. My suggestion to u will b since your DH is able to support the family's finances, y dun u consider being a SAHM for the next 2 yrs. Job satisfaction can always wait but your baby's growth will not wait, once he's past this milestone then that's it & no amt of $$ or job satisfaction will bring it back. I'm 28 & prior to me getting pregnant, I was earning >60K annually but have since given up for the next 2 yrs even tho DH's income is half of mine cos I dun 1 2 miss out on my bb's growth. Since i had lesser commitments, i just needed to adjust abit of my spending & we r still able to live a reasonably comfy life.
I'm sure most mummies would love to b in your position of having a loving DH who's able to support the entire family. Alot of mummies here have mentioned that if given a choice, they would all gladly b SAHM for at least 2yrs & I know some of the mummies here r quite well paid too.
Maybe u can seriously consider putting your job satisfaction on hold rather than "dumping" your son to the maid. I'm sure the satisfaction u get fr your son will outweigh all your job satisfaction. I was there when my boy had his 1st smile, 1st laugh, 1st flip as well as 1st fall. It felt great that I didn't need to hear it fr some1 else that my son had done all these. It really made me felt that these r things which $$ can never buy & that my sacrifice was definitely worth it.
Just My Humble Opinion. Please pardon me if I have offended u in any way. ^_^

Hi all,
Sorry to bring all your moods down early in the morning. I very emotional sometimes...
Cactus,
With the current recession, have you ever thought about the "what if?"...meaning, one day what if your hubby loses his job or maybe you get axe...in this day and age..there is no such thing as a "iron rice bowl" liao. I know many people who can easily afford a landed property but choose to stay in a HDB coz they rather be safe..then sorry. I don't know lah, maybe you have some trust fund, or alot of savings..then like that of coz can stay in landed property. If bearly can make it that kind...then very dangerous lor.

<font color="aa00aa">janiviy / bbcupid,
agreed! i rather stay in hdb flat & spurge on luxuries once in a while(ie: go restaurant, join sprees, buy stuff for my ger & hb, etc) rather than stay in landed property & skim on everything else including necessities! i recalled hb & me ever had a discussion tat goes on wat if we strike it big one day, we will still con't to stay in our cosy hdb & keep the $$ for rainy day or maybe early retirement or even to send our ger for overseas edn if she so desired but we would not spurge on condo or landed.</font>

Fully agree... why add on another liability.. and you've to suffer and worry and work for life (unless u strike TOTO or BIG sweep, lol).. it's no joke to own a landed property. I've heard tt many "rich" pple are trying to sell off their branded cars now, but there's no takers..
Economy is real bad and feel Singaporeans have NOT yet experience the tide yet..
Economy is real bad and feel Singaporeans have NOT yet experience the tide yet..
i very much agree that its a little dampening to hear about cactus's very detailed story of the size of her home, very drop of her abundant milk supply, the number of maids that was assigned to wash the vegetables or fold towels, down to the exact spot and number of roses of her wedding proposal...
in fact, there are people who knows cactus since singaporebrides.com days have told me about her style of relating her much envied life.
