*pat pat* I can understandstand how you feel. I'm totally agree with Purebliss on what she said. Keep calm and stay cool. Dont bother with what your mil said. Whether she prefers a gal or a boy, that's her business. Dont let it affect you. Dont feel sad cos your bb can feel your emotions and get affected also. Hope you are feeling better now! </font>

Hi pple, just to let you know that this following site have a typo error of PM's surname and a few of the MTBs are repeated.

http://www.petitiononline.com/mums2008/petition.html

Could I suggest that if you want to sign, pls send at the below URL as it is more reliable(with NRIC), logical, systematic and neater?

http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?8Aug2008

Just my 2 cents worth of thoughts as I salute the
effort of the MTBs' effort.
For info, I'm also a Oct MTB.

 

[forest]

those ppl.. if they are not supportive.. why must they "chap ji ka"?? we are just doing what we feel is right, and would like to have a go at making our voices heard... don't understand the mentality of such people....

 

[eternitystar]

<font color="0000ff">Forest,

There will always be such "opposition" pple ard, wat to do?

</font>

 

[xxinyingxx]

RibeniaLi,
Cheer up... dun let your MIL affect u too much... Really cannot understand these women... we also woman mah... so why make your unborn daughter a target? Weirdo.

Littlebluey,
Don't let the "small people" affect u. We support and thank you for all your efforts.

Dimplelot,
your letter is well worded too. Stirred my emotions too. Hope more people will be touched by your letter.

We have a few "writers" here. Keke...

 

[forest]

Littlebluey,
can't help but feel that her aim is to make the preggies unhappy even further...

 

[lili_fc]

can't stand that "sour grapes" people...

 

[everafter]

The petition number is moving so slow...

 

[icylemon]

i read our thread until i blur. i went to hide.

[xxinyingxx]

Just signed on the petition too. Really hope our voices would be heard.

 

[everafter]

Littlebluey, is the reporter going to publish your letter? feel that we ought to get the media attention leh..

 

[eternitystar]

Icelemon,
JBrown is from http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/messages/578191/1652981.html?1219294242

I think she's the biggest sore loser and want us all to be like her... really cannot understand such woman sometimes...

 

[pig_pig]

<font color="aa00aa">Sorry. Please enlighten me too. Who are those "sour grapes" pple and "jbrown"? Today's thread is moving very fast. Have difficulties to catch up. Am not feeling well cos the whole day feel like vomitting and having heartburn again, so din really follow thru.</font>

 

[dumbolyn]

I feel that perhaps these "opposition" feel that we are being money-grubbing and sore that we aren't getting the entitlements, esp the money.

Maybe because many mommies have been harping on the 7k. But of course we know it is much more to that. I am unhappy with the fact that the implementation date is unjust. Either ALL preggies get it, or NON of us do. The implementation date has to be CONSISTENT. It is stupid that women who are 7 or 8 mths pregnant are not entitled whereas those less pregnant are. Where is the logic in that?

If the whole incentive package is meant to ENTICE non-pregnant women to have babies, shouldn't it start mid next year to attract them? I'm sure if that was the case, we won't be so "sore" now right?

 

[icylemon]

<font color="0000ff">littlebluey</font> how abt we called wanbao &amp; sin ming??

 

[pig_pig]

<font color="aa00aa">Oh! I know who is this jbrown le! </font>

 

[eternitystar]

<font color="0000ff">Xinying,

All the more we should stand united and not be "beaten" by her...now she's in the petition thread showing her face there...kns! !@#$%^&amp;*

Mousebb,

U shd rest more ok

Hope u feel better soon!

Dumbo,

Yes! the stoopid B**** keep harping on the $7k thing! -_-""

Icylemon,

I got same sentiments leh!!
</font>

 

[dumbolyn]

lil bluey:

i think she's being very clueless. maybe she has been planted by the govt to come in to stir sh*t. haha!

 

[eternitystar]

<font color="0000ff">Dumbo,

Not surprisingly, trying to create chaos and unsettling minds amongst us!
</font>

 

[xxinyingxx]

Haha... all these speculations.

Anyway... Just a tot, if adopted children can be given the benefits, maybe i should change the citizenship of my baby then convert it 6 mths later to play around the loophole. Haha...

 

[xxinyingxx]

Saw this post and quoted:

"The Baby Bonus cash gift and matching Government contribution in the Children Development Account (CDA) have been enhanced for Singapore citizen babies born on or after 1 January 2009 (or whose Estimated Date of Delivery is on or after 1 January 2009) to lawfully married parents."

What are my chances of teaming up with my gynae and saying that my EDD is actually Jan 08. Just that baby decide to come out 4 months earlier... haha....

Think i'm going crazy...

 

[icylemon]

[dumbolyn]

lil bluey:
