got something to ask mummies here..
i recently found out that my boy snores during his sleep. not very loud type but still able to hear it quite clearly. any of your kids snores too? should it be a concern?
 
lilian,
When I bring him out, he take whatever and refuse let go, I will juz take away from him straightaway even if he get angry. But not junk food! Most weekdays, FIL will bring Lucas pick MIL frm work where she sells snacks! And everytime he go there, he will jus take a pack of chips, MIl will juz pay for it!

Maybe I wont give her face liao ... if she rescue and carry him, I will carry him away from her and go to the room and talk to him.

amooks,
Ur MIL say like tt, you wont get pissed off ah?
 
moomummy,
I realise Lucas snores sometimes too. Shld be alright bah.

Talking abt sleep ... my hb told mi recently when I was sleeping, I actually pat my tummy/backside for moments (maybe pat my boy too much to sleep).
 
Jo> maybe becoz i dun stay with in laws, i tend to 1 ear in, 1 ear out. i won't fight with her unnecessarily coz usually we only see in laws for dinner or lunch 2-3 times a week.

moomummy> my boy also snore....
 
jo, amooks
oh, ur kiddos snores too?
i went to do a search on toddlers snoring and i got to read this..
http://www.toddlerstoday.com/articles/sleep-issues/when-a-toddler-snores-4881/
they say it might be a case of sleep apnea which might lead to behavioural problems during the day...
jo
you so cute lah..its kind of habitual for me at times that i will pat my hubby's backside when i lie down beside him. then my hubby will turn and look at me,puzzled and i'll suddenly realize what i'm doing, stop and then laugh our heads off..
 
kash
yes i know.. I'm also trying best not to start her on antibiotic but will bring her to PD if stil coughing and runny nose latest by this Fri.. I'll b travelling to Beijing next Fri already.. really dun wan her to stil b sick by time i travel =( sad....
 
moomum, my gal does snore sometimes too, but i guess it's cos she's too tired.

HDB
i tink u shdn't need to wait for so long leh, 2nd appt is usually 4-6 wks away after the 1st appt. mayb u can check with yr agent again?
 
jes
at first i tot my boy is just too tired and snores, but recently, its like very frequent even though he naps twice a day. so i dunno whether i should wait and see whether this snoring goes off or not..

the agent told us that the 2nd appt is about mid june to end of june. and if it is 4 to 6 weeks away from our 1st appt, then i guess his given date is almost there lor.. :p
 
moomum, perhaps yr agent calculate the max period and buffer more as well. if u count 6 wks max yr 2nd appt shdn't drag longer than after 1st wk of jun. sorry for my kpo, but sometimes i tink these agents are too relaxed if u dun push them :p
 
kash, snnowy
thanks... her fever subside le.
now i have to wait for her culture test report.
hope it is a mild case.

snnowy,
ya, lor. rare case for a potty trained bb. i think my maid din clean her well. actually, she just recovered fr flu & cough last wk. now UTI. my poor trella.
 
jes
haha..yah, most probably he is sort of 'play-safe' kinda person. but actually hor, i'm abit sianz on the whole house purchasing thingy, coz both my hubby and myself have to fork out abt $50K in cash for this house. really have to tighten our belts for the coming years liao..
sad.gif
 
moomummy
snore or breathe loud loud? u mean really snore like an adult? My gal sometimes hav.. but for a short while and not loud.. tot its quite ok and normal?

Jo
wah lucas become a junkie eater? mus restrict. or else gena cough we're the ones suffering.. When i giv my gal snacks.. we dun giv whole packet.. i giv 1 by 1 and not many..
 
nut
its not the usual breathing sound leh. more like snoring to me coz it sounds like my hubby's snore but softer version. and he usually snores if he sleeps in a side-laying position...
 
hi moomummy, Congrate for your love nest! where ur new house will be? wow, u forked out 50K! tat alots! wat does the $50K include? last year, the i forked out $5k for cash for the previous owner. i spend abt $15k on furnitur & renovate the two toilet.

heard tat nut's child & trella is sick. poor thing... pls take care mummies.

Lilian, i will ask ard. will let u know.
 
moomummy, wat kind of loan did u take up? Bank or HDB loan. if u take up bank loan, it more easier & faster, but if u take up HDB loan, it 4 to 6 weeks time coz HDB take longer time to process. and u can also ask the previous owner do they mind to speed up the 2nd appt date. if both parties agreed, the agent then will check with the HDB to speed things up.
 
moomum, buy resale flat is like tat de, esp now when the market is still pretty "hot". when we purchase our flat in jul 08 we oso got to fork out quite abit, and till now sometimes i still kept tinking if its worth it?! and not to say i've been cursing HDB ever since for making it difficult for us the 1st time buyers else we wouldn't need to turn to resale mkt...
 
Triangel,
Today is Trella's 4 yr old birthday right? Send her my birthday wishes
happy.gif
and hope that the results will be positive!

Amooks,
Double boil chinese pear with chuan bei powder really good for preventing n curing cough? My boy tends to cough easily.. chinese pear is (li2 or peh2?) and where to get chuan bei powder?
 
Darlest
well $50K includes the COV($28K), the agent's commission($4K+) and also 5% downpayment of the flat($22K)..which works out to be abt $54K in total. Lucky thing is that we do not need to do much on the renovation, just abit of touch-up coz the condition of the house is quite okay and new to us.
We took up a bank loan and it's already been approved. i don't think my hubby would want to speed things up as he's not in a hurry to move into our new place. at least not during this year. coz he said tiger year not a good year to move house. *Scratch head*

jes
yah lor.. re-sale HDB flats nowadays are really not affordable at all. but no choice, we have to get our own house to be able to have more space/room for our little ones. staying with parents/parents-in-law can be advantageous, but in long term, we still need some privacy of our own. Actually, seeing the 'hot' market situation now, i would say i'm quite lucky to pay $28K for the COV coz alot of house owners are asking for at least $40K now. :p

RCB
me 'shiting' to Punggol. hahahah..
 
hi mummies..
it's been a while since i last logged in here..do hope i didnt miss out alot..

wow olwen..
ur kids are really talented..so nice to be able to capture the 4 kids together too..can see they are really enjoying themselves with the piano..

hi peanut..
hope ur nini will get well soon..if ever u hv someone gg to hkg, get Eu Yang Sen's items there coz it's a lot cheaper..my mum & sis really stock up alot of items (esp for coughing) when they go over last mth..

Who bot the Positive Discipline book??

I bot and nearly done with it left with last 2 chapters which i dun feel like carrying on anymore.. Its reeeeeeeally Pooooositive discipline lor.... Everything is about being nice and firm.. Cannot yell, scream, spank the tod, and can't even say No... -_- Best to use actions and not words.. Piangz.. i tried my best to follow e advise but found i wil go crazy and die early.. Felt like tearing e book and dump into the rubbish bin.. There was once i like gena released from jail like that, said NO almost 50times to her and i felt super duper relieved after that. Now i'm back to my usual disciplinary methods thou i stil bear in mind some of the things in book which i do agree and wil remind myself to do that..

Sometimes this jus dun make a lot of sense.. most of us grew up from traditional disciplinary methods (of cos not those extreme type which i also disagree) but we stil become good people except for some black sheeps.. Whereas crime rates are higher in ang mo countries who believe more in teaching with love.. umm...
 
Ah Lian
like... for eg.. if outside she's meddling with things, instead of saying "No you can't do this/that", just carry her away without need of saying anything.. Actions speaks louder than words.. I find this stil ok and i do use this method sometimes.. but in some other instances i stil find it really hard not to say NO and warn her sternly.. Like when she anyhow throw tantrum stil expect me to be kind and firm?? Cant even use the naughty corner lei.. wah... cannot lor.. i not that type of people..
 
pnut, hahaha, u got a point... so when those angmohs rob their own pple, the victims dun say NO and will just let them rob lor :p

no wonder this book is called 'positive discipline'
 
Jes
haha.. yah lor.. even before i bot and told my sis abt this book.. she said from the title sure teach you no scolding and spanking one..
 
peanut..
if u no time to go medical hall, eu yan seng also sell the pre-pack ones for relieving cough..but not sure if u still need to add on pear since it's pre-pack already with the chuan bei, nan xing & bei xing + this "orange dried pan-cake" i suddenly forgot the name..oh..is the positive thinking book thick?
 
wtan
mayb i'll go medical hall tomm ask abt the chuan bei powder.. tink add pear better ba.. make e drink sweeter and nicer also.. my gal does seem to be better thou haven fully recovered.. hope it'll continue to improve..
E book ok la not v thick.. tink abt an inch thick

Kash
tt time when u bot e houning wonder if the person got giv u specific instructions? e aunty i bot from advise lots of things.. say for this powder, drink milk liao mus wait 2hrs before giving.. then after taking powder within 2hrs also cannot take milk cos it'll reduce e effectiveness of the powder.. no chicken and yakult as well.. Even fish also discouraged. She said some people go back and say how come e powder not effective then found out becos they giv milk milk
 
peanut,
Lucas also sick like A. He is having slight cough but when he cough, you can hear so much of phelgm inside .. ai yoh.
I told my MIL this morning ... last nite when he cough, the phlegm sounds terrible. She somemore ask mi why like tat .. I say potato chips, yakult, vitagen and sweet gummy bear loh eat and eat lah. THen now can tell mi cannot give yakult and vitagen anymore and ask mi gummy bear sweet meh fruits only mah I say sweet loh. She keep quiet.

Since this year start, I have been too lenient on his snack intake, thinking he shld be able to eat everything since he is already 1yo. Jan (return from KL trip) - fever and sore throat, end of Feb - MMR jab, Mar - sore throat one week later, high fever and fake measles, Apr - phelgmy cough
 
hey jes, lian, snnowy, moomum, jo, RCB, wtan: they're seated backwards actually. i shd have put ig (do) first from the left. tt much i know after his 4 yrs of lessons. but it's a pain to make him practise. he started w yamaha psfc. most mummies send their kids for JMC. v soon your kids can go too.

moomummy: u 2 no hurry cos ur parents' flat got plenty of space. for me, i was harassing my husband for a yr to find a place & finish reno. poor man.

tri: glad to hear tt trella is better & happy birthday to tricia.

have a good day mummies. & do post your pics too.
 
ah nuts, same lor, +ve discipline is not gg to work for me and bbK lor... she super notty, bad tempered & spoilt now. Veri headache
 


Good morning mummies!

olwen
no leh.my parents-in-law's place is quite small leh. sometimes i would be quite frustrated just to find some space to keep our things. I was telling my hubby all the time that we needed more space, but he din get it until one day, he found difficulties in packing our stuff up. then he finally learnt to accept the fact that we needed more space/room. :p

Hmm...why is it so quiet today ah? where did everyone go?
