haiz... just change job, haven tell my boss... jia lat... hope everything will go well...
 
hi mummies..
sorry for not coming in the whole of last wk..i wanted soo much to come in but time was not right for me..

i had to apply PM leave to look aft my #1, Mav while hubby took over the AM portion..he's down with chronic cough that he has already taken 2 rounds of oral steriod for this cough & also now on aerochamber salbuair inhaler puff..really pains my heart..

i have to look for a <u>CC immediately</u> becoz my mum is not taking care of him anymore, also MIL cannot cope with 2 ACTIVE boys &amp; is on the verge of breaking down..

the last option is I will have to quit my job if i cannot find him a CC suitable for him this coming week..

then Brod darling caught the viral infection from Mav and is now down with runny nose &amp; coughing too..poor boys...

anyway, i shall be positive and hope things will work out well~

pressing on~
 
<font color="119911">Congrats to mummies that's preggy with #2..indeed a happy blessing..</font>

hope all the preggy mummies will have a smooth pregnancy and also smooth deliveries..

jia-you..jia-you to breastfeeding too~
 
darlest: let us know your results...
happy.gif
If positive, embrace it with joy..it's such a wonderful thing...I still struggling and trying all sort of methods LOL..BFW la, preseed la, lubricants la, soups la, tonics la, everything almost tried b4 liao...
 
Bibi,
Did u realise u were already pregnant when u switched ur job? It wld be better if u can tell ur new boss asap. I know my current co. ... v long ago a lady came in, knowing she's already pregnant but never tell the boss. When he knew it, he was very angry n ask her to leave cos he felt being cheated .. he wld accept it if she say it out during interview or when she first started work.

wtan,
Hope ur boys recover soon!
I'm sure there are CC available somewhere, the most further away and arrange bus transport .. some CC have 3rd party bus transport service and accept 18mths onwards.
 
Gd Morning!

Bibi, oh, must take care ok! Congrats

Wtan, got consider the CC which Bibi send her K to? (issit appletree or my 1st skool?)Since its new, shd have vacancies.
 
good morning
Wtan
oh no.. how come out of sudden ur mum dont wanna help take care of ur boy? shld she give u some time to source for another Care taker or CC 1st? or else seek for ur boss understanding.. probably take unpay leave instead of quitting ur job? or since ur mil cant cope with two? would u consider a maid to help her out? with so short notice to find a CC. it's rather difficult..

Hope u solve ur problems sooon.. take care.
 
wtan
oh oh.. sorry to hear ur boys sick again.. tts 1 of e problem when u hav more than 1 kid at home.. vicious cycle of virus passings.. Hope they get well soon.. and yes i agree mayb a maid will be better..
 
Good morning mommies,

Wtan,
Oh dear. What happen? How come your mom dun want to take care of your boy? It's really not easy to look for CC at last minute cos all the good ones will be full quota and hv waiting list. Aiyohz.. really heartpain when the children fall sick. You also must take care. I agree, maybe you can try getting a maid to help for now? May not be the best solution, but better then no help now.


Peanut,
Thanks for the idea... I din managed to go the Gain City Expo Fair. Instead, went to Best Denki at Taka. Yesterday they had special promo where Best Denki absorbs the whole 7% GST. So I managed to grab a simple portable DVD player (LG brand) for $139. That was the cheapest liaoz. heheheh... This morning my dad used it to play J3's fav wiggles DVD and she was hooked watching it. *lolz*
 
make me gian to get a dvd player... yday went to durian farm at m'sia.. T cant sit still in car for too long. esp no car seat.. maybe can get one for him to entertain him in car hor.. haa..

dymples
wiggles nice??? T so far love Barni &amp; Wheel in bus DVD nia..
 
dymples
tsk tsk.. i tot its for her outdoor meals nia? Jus remm try not do that too often in case they get sick of it..

ALi
?? how come he din wan e carseat now? dun wanna sit that anymore ah?
 
nut
we sitting my dad's car la.. car seat nv bring over.. plus also no space for car seat. cos total 5 adults gg in..
 
alibaba,
Yah.. the portable dvd player I got comes with the car charger kit. Very handy leh. My girl loves wiggles cos lots of singing and action. Similar to Barney and Hi-5. Eehh... why no car seat? Berry dangerous leh. J3 loves her car seat. Once in it, she can entertain herself... but 3/4 of the time, she will be sleeping. hahahaha


Peanut,
Oh yah hor... better remind my dad not to use it too much. But this will definately come in handy cos my home only got 1 TV set. So the jie-jies are very sianz of watching wiggles day in and out. Will remind my dad to use the portable DVD player at home only when jie-jies wanna watch their show. No more fighting for the TV. Yeah! *lolz*
 
Peanut,
hahahha... yah 4 grown man singing and acting silly. Dunno why J3 likes it ssoo much. Maybe cos all the songs very catchy bah.
biggrin.gif
 
Dymples/nut
Wiggles seem not nice to watch. haa... ur kids like sesame street? i open for T. he ever watch til fall a slp. haa.. i tink it's kinda boring...

today is youth day.. T no need to go school...
 
Kids show..
i found that their taste changes.. last time my gal din really like Elmo and Gogo but now she watches them and can even sometime ask for it..
Gogo is a red dino teaching English..

Ali
i find those childcare centres really lazy sometimes.. can skip then skip school.. they're jus kids!!! How can classify them as YOUTHS!!!
 
lian
i also duno . think they follow pri school holiday bah... teacher day/children day all these bo class too..
 
Walao.. Child Care Centre is for Child Care!!!!
Why do parents put their child in CC and still have to take leave during these 'special days'?
 
Alibaba,
J3 does not like Sesame street. Cos too much talking. Very boring for her. Actually hor... I find the wiggles rather entertaining. hahahah... even my J2 likes watching it. Besides songs, they are also educational cos they teach stuffs like 'your body', 'your senses', etc. Not too bad lah.

Eehh... which CC does T go to? Today my gal's Kinderland still got classes as usual wor. Strange that T's CC is closed.


Peanut,
hahaha... yah yah...their taste will change as they grow. At first, J3 used to watch Barney. Then recently changed to Wiggles. Dunno what's next.
 
T is gg playgroup.. not CC leh.. playgroup follow every holidays.. haa... even school holiday i still pay school fees lor.. so lugi.. tinking to put him into CC end yr or next yr.

i tink CC also got holidays like teacher day.. sometimes teacher go training.. parent also must take leave...only school holidays not included.
 
I wld think being childcare teacher is not an easy job ... face many crying babies everyday ... moreover they do not have mid yr and yr end holidays like pri/sec sch teachers.
 
aahhh... I'm sssoo bored in the office. Cos serving notice I'm not allowed out. *aarrgghh* Now only shredding some old contracts. Damn sianz...
 
Jo,
I can't imagine being a CC teacher. I definately dun hv enough patience to deal with 10 and more screaming, yelling, bawling kiddos. Yah... somemore no mid-yr/yr-end holidays. Plus the pay is really really low. Heard a CC teacher earns only about $1.5k a month. Imgaine all their hard work and they get only this much.
 
Dymples, u resigned??

jo, agreed. CC teachers not an easy job, no wonder alot of sporeans oso dun wanna be a CC teacher. the last time i viewed a CC they got quite a number of china teachers.
 
Jes,
Tt time I enrolled Lucas into My First Skool ... its like 3 out of 6 teachers are from China. I juz wondered if they have at least Certificate/ Diploma in Early Childhood Edcuation cos they only sing chinese songs to all the kids, feed and play with them ... thats all they can do. They seems to be assisting teacher only ... .
 
Jo,
Yah... I also noticed more and more china teachers in our CC's. Besides teaching, many are doing those 'auntie' jobs like cleaning and cooking. Guess the low pay cannot attract any SG people. How to survive on such low pay?
 


Jo
i hv the same concern too - whether anot they are properly qualified teachers. guess nothing much we can do, just hope they will do a decent job.
