morning mummies
rona,
i already check with school bus. they don't even send to my fil's place which is just opp juction of my house. babysitter's place is even further loh. so they don't send. originally, they don't even want to fetch yu ze in the morning only want to send him back in the evening. i complaint to both the bus driver's boss and also the centre manager. only now that will try to work something for me to fetch him 2 ways.
back up plan is me, hubby, fil and last babysitter. i won't want to touch babysitter unless really got no choice cos she also have a special boy to take care or special boy and #2 to take care after i delivered.
sylvia,
i think so leh. not sure why the effect on yu ze can be so strong. yesterday, i let him skip multivits right, and he manage to sleep through leh. only wake up a while to eh, like his usual.
shint,
of course, $$ is a concern when i cut yu ze off from babysitter to go cc. i don't see why i want to pay twice the $$. then some will say, i should keep babysitter then send yu ze to playgroup. babysitter to fetch him after playgroup. this will although increase the cost but save me from all logistic problems and also from the pay cut by down time.
i have yet to check out the price for playgroup but i guess the $$ will equals to the $$ i will suffer from pay cut. then in this case, i think i will rather take pay cut. at least, i get to spend more time with him and have him closer to us (parents) then babysitter bah.

Good Morning Mommies!
Celyn,
There is no right or wrong answer to what you do...just do what you think is best for you and family...I was called "bad" for sending Raine to cc when she is 17mths+ but I dun care then
Cheer up k?

$$ can never compensate the time a mommy want to spend with the kid. To some, they prefer to work and get somebody else to spend time with the kid cos they'd freak out handling the kid.
Spending own time is good cos u can do more constructive things with him and bond. I dun suppose the babysitter has a good programme instore for his development rite?
For myself, I think Full day CC best cos it beats having him being at home with maid and staring at the walls or sleeping only. Worst, hooked on TV.
Aiyo. Last time women can work and handle a dozen of kids. This era pple all say this cannot that cannot ..... we're more capable than what pple tell us we are. Women who are not so fortunate have to work and take care of kids and cook and do everything.
I always think i cannot handle the 2 kids alone esp when maid goes on off on Sundays and sometimes hubby has other things like jogging, meetings, lunches ... no choice but unhappy but I realised no problem at all. Just not that I am welcoming to do it alone all the time, extra help is always better.
Well, my ideal lifestyle ... work half day and can spend half day with the kids or sleep! hehe.
You know what's best for yourself and family. The rest are offering their suggestions which fits them best but may not be for you.
No need to explain to them cos u owe them no explaination. If they persists, just say "Thank you, I appreciate it and I've worked out my solution."

celyn,
how come the transport co so inflexible? if yu ze on full day CC, then no need bb sitter already. just have to make sure you're able to send him to sch and come back in time to receive him back from sch. my friend who relies totally on maid to run the family makes sure the maid is there to see kids off the sch bus and then receive kids when sch bus drops them home.
if too stressful to cook, then consider catering? my MIL has the luxury of staying home the whole day with a full time maid but she still finds it troublesome to cook, so everyone eats catered food everyday. can't complain coz' it's still better than hawker food
shint,
are your 2 boys 2 yrs apart?

shint, thanks! today got time to login ah? not bz? lunch?
celyn,
for ur 3 qns:
1. nothing wrong to take school bus.
2. nothing wrong to down time. I feel is good to have clear working hours so that u know when is "family time". I also go home to cook dinner. con is we sometimes eat late lor, cos try to get the kids to finish first.
3. nothing wrong to cut away from bbsitter. Not your relative right?
I agree with M2B, there is no right or wrong... just do what is best suited for ur family's needs...

mousse,
i'm sending J to pre-nursery next yr ard kovan area also (just 3 hrs). but prior to that, dunno whether to let him try play group or not. i think he might be feeling quite bored at my MIL's coz' she dun let him roam about in the house, whole day confined to play yard.
celyn,
when u send yu ze to CC, does he need to adjust his breakfast or he eats there? the pre-nursery J is attending starts at 8am but i realise his current routine is drink milk at 8am and eat cereal after that. if i send him for morning class that means we all have to wake up even earlier

Does anyone use cane on their bb now? When u say use do u actually hit bb or just hit something to scare them?
i dunno what to do w evie, she has this habit of hitting or kicking ppl (me included) in the face! not accidentally, but is purposely n she thinks is v funny. i tried to smack her but like no effect! i smack really hard but she doesnt even flinch. even hubby got a shock by me n ask why i hit her so hard later her shoulder dislocate! but look at her lor, not scared at all. after getting kicked n smacked in the face countless times my patience wears thin. she will come n smack, i will tell her off, then she will smirk n try to hit again leh! how ah??
i know is v stupid, but cos i got eyelash extensions so is extra painful when she hits my eye area. always have to check if she ripped out any.
last night kana kicked in face again. twice. smacked her leg, but no effect. i have to hold her foot to stop her from trying again. this happens usually when we r lying on bed and she can reach our face.
any mummies have same problem?
my new maid even ask me, is it my ex-maid used to pinch n hit her? cos now evie will try to pinch her face n run away laughing, n come back to try again. i say, dont think so, cos since shes bb she always like to pinch n hit. last time when breastfeeding her, my boob will end up w pinch n scratch marks all over. even when carry her will kana pinch all over. can die one lehhhh.

Gayle,
I've extracted this article from babycentre:
My two year old has started to kick and bite. How can I stop him?
Penney Hames answers:
Many two and three year olds go through an aggressive phase. But with love and firmness you can show them how to behave.
Toddlers hit and bite, kick and punch because it is a sure fire way to get your attention, something your children crave. You need to show them that it doesn't work.
As soon as he hits out (don't wait) tell him that because he has hit or bitten he must now sit in 'time out' for two minutes (use a minute for each year of his life). Say this as calmly as you can and then don't say anything else. Next, lead him firmly but kindly to a designated chair (preferably one from which his feet can neither touch the floor nor kick the walls) and leave him to sit.
Do not send him to his room or to the bottom step. You need to keep an eye on him, and he needs as few distractions as possible. A chair in the kitchen is great.
If he gets up, take him back immediately. Tell him that the time out will only begin when he is sitting. Put your hand on his leg to encourage him to stay. Do not let him off if he says he's sorry, he needs to sit still first. Don't talk to him during his time out or allow any one else to either. Use the two minutes to calm yourself down. When the time is up, ask him to apologise and then forgive and forget. Eventually your toddler will get the message.
Your toddler is learning what he can and cannot do. With time out and your positive and loving attention whenever he is playing well, he won't need to go on hitting and biting for long.

Gayle,
P also hitting for fun. I will lightly hit his hand when he does that then tell him "No".
Snow,
Nynn looks so well behaved, of cos no need to cane lah! Zynn so cute... My #1 very strong-willed child and very difficult to discipline... one moment, can be very sweet at times but sometimes quite the devil! also give instructions must ask her to repeat to make sure she understand, but she can still tell me wrongly or say "... I forgot" after I repeat the instruction 5 times!!!

mousse,
tks for sharing. read this before but gd to reinforce again
gayle,
J rarely hits but there are times when he hit me and i tell him sternly "no". (for some strange reason, it's just me. he doesn't hit daddy leh!) after that he stops, so lucky for me!
yest he threw his crayons from high chair after dinner and we told him cannot. he cried and we said we'll give him one crayon and told him not to throw. he still decided to throw anyway and we told him no more crayons. he cried of course, then we distracted him by taking him out of the high chair and letting him do something else. daddy seems to have more luck with him in discipline. the other day, he threw an object from the high chair in the middle of a meal. daddy smacked his hand, he cried, then daddy explained that it was wrong. i thought he wouldn't continue eating but he eventually did after daddy sayang him. i was surprised! dunno if this is the right method coz' i read that we shld not be hitting the child as it encourages them to hit back and they will think it's ok to hit. maybe i'll try time out next time, although i'm not sure he will understand what i'm trying to do

gayle,
i have not used the cane yet on jer. right now, when he misbehaved, i will tell him NO in a very stern tone. He gets it and will start to cry. so far, its effective (like he used to pull #2's hair, but a few NOs and he does not do it anymore). BUT not so effective when he is angry and starts to throw things. I'm still trying to address this by repeating the NO and making him pick up the things he threw. Luckily for me, he doesn't bite or hit anyone.
Snow,
you sound like my mum leh...

m2b and snow74,
thanks. i thought its a very common thing for 18 months to go cc liao and why still got people still so object it so much.
shint,
yah loh. why last time our parents can handle so many kids and have 1 income and now we have 2 incomes and need a maid to handle just 1 or 2 kids. sigh.... i guess we are just too pampered bah.
yu ze is going cc after cny.
krex78,
the school bus is actually meant for preschool children not so much for cc children. cos usually cc students don't take school bus, parents send and fetch. so in a way we are following preschool students and during holiday, its possible not to have school bus.
i don't think cooking is too troublesome if i prepare all the things the night before loh.
no need to adjust yu ze cos he drinks milk at 6+/7am. then 8am if need to snack, he can still snack. P
jen,
no babysitter not relative.
gayle,
haven't buy cane yet so can't use them. if he does anything wrong, i will beat him immediately.

celyn,
wow, he drinks milk so early? maybe i'll consider feeding J milk at home ard 7 plus, then he eat breakfast in sch, heehee. anw, still one more yr to go and his cycle may have changed then!
to date, i still find it hard to beat J. the other day i threaten to beat him if he didn't stop opening my drawers and i went "1...2..." and i still never beat. my hb stood there and say, "beat lah, dun make empty threats!". *faintz*

krex78,
yah cos he wake up at 630am on weekdays to leave for babysitter's place. so when he reach, he will drink milk by 7am. on weekends, he will drink once he wake up at 630am.
if you tell j that you are going to beat him, please make sure you do so. if not, he will know you are making empty threats and not scare.
eg, if yu ze tries to climb up my tv consol, i will tell him NO from far and not to try or i will beat. if he really challenge me and continue to try, then i walk over. i will beat his legs cos its his leg that try to climb. then he will frown and cry for others to side him. but in such case, nobody will side him. i will leave him to cry for a while. only sayang and hug him again if he comes running to me. as i hug and sayang him, i will explain to him. doesn't really matter if he understand but i think they do.

we are all too pampered and lazy ba ... haha.
I also find excuses to say i cannot, i need help then my dear hubby says how come the maid can handle 2 and i cannot?
So no choice lor i have to do it.
But ... i must one day do a surprise "attack" on him on a Sunday and then tell him i have to go out and leave him with the 2 kids and no maid. Let him have a taste lor.
Then again, he can manage cos he alot of things bo chap .... kids eat what la, do what la .... he vv FANG XIN one. Leave them to turn the house upside down, Kai climbing on top of his computer/study bench and he is still reading/watching TV in the living room. Imagine.
I'd freak and thus, i become vv busy telling them not to climb, entertain them , etc etc. Hard life.

i think we woman folk are like that leh, its called maternal instinct. my hb also does what your hb does and if I around, he lagi better, he will instruct me to do what he think should be done. like for example, he will tell me aiyah, tell #1 cannot do this must do this way blah blah, i will tell him since you are here and he is here, why don't you just tell him directly? very tired leh...
nevermind this, he has now become so luo suo... one simple thing ask 10 times. really get on my nerves and nowadays i can't take it anymore and will tell him off. maybe he is having mid life crisis??

i think both me and hb are the "fang xin" kind. i know if i'm in my maid's shoes, i'll get tortured and nagged at by MIL for doing the things i do with J, haha.
celyn,
sigh, gotta train myself to be firm. thankfully J will listen most of the time and won't need me to beat (yet).

yah lor! some more the head of the company is like that leh!!! so more work for us who are below lor... sian...
celyn,
but if yu ze is having this reaction, you can cut the dosage by half and test to see if he can sleep at nite. its multivits mah, so its ok to have lesser. furthermore, yu ze eating well, so this should be supplements only. can try half a dosage one. there are quite a number of kids multivit in the market - different dosage for different age.

jen,
congrats! what is bao ying dan? i see many of u giving EYS herbs but i haven't tried any on J yet. he wakes up 1 or 2x a nite occasionally but can go back to sleep quite easily. will giving him those herbs help him sleep w/o waking up in the middle of the nite?
also, is it nec to give multi vits? haven't given J anything extra except his usual milk and meals. do they sell calcium pills? maybe i shld try that since he doesn't want to drink his milk
