have a good time!
so far ok, my mil seems more capable than what i think, but still trying to source for a PT cleaner to ease her burden. we tried out the aunty u r using, my mil said it's too much for her to cope, alamak
we shd be happy that our kids are growing up and getting ready for school. i do hope V can get a place in the CC soon.

ali,
So good .. but as long as I'm ard, Lucas is like "I want NOBODY NOBODY but MUMMY" leh. Buay tahan. His daddy has never shower him b4! Useless bum .. only know how to shower his notebook/ car. When Lucas cry in middle of the night .. heard Daddy's voice only, no matter gentle or fierce .. simply cry even louder.
I'm feeling sleepy now!

Jes, nw on t way bk home. To spend time w K and do last min packing. K spending tis morning w her daddy at home, dunno if he is surviving 
sighz, juz want to vent my frustration here...
really hard to please grandparents when come to taking care of a toddler.
i really dun understand y grandparents like to spoil their own grandchildren. one moment comment tat muz discipline, then the nx moment give in to them when they throw temper/cry.
i juz tryin to toilet train my gal every nite b4 bedtime & it's oredi become a routine (w/o grandparents around). but 2day she throw her temper and cry in front of them! and they want me to give in to her instead of me scolding her. DID I DID ANYTHING WRONG?!
Then the other side of grandparents say give her something sweet to drink eg ribena, coz see her drink onli plain water, so quite pitiful but she still got slight cough at nite. and i find her still too young to take sweet stuff. in case she dun want to drink plain water... u know wat i mean... ARGH!!!

Jeanne,
You shld have cooled down by now.
You simply did nothing wrong ... its already nice that you try to toilet train your gal now and she has been doing it well before the presence of grandparents.
Its also good that if the child willing to drink plain water ... juz give her plain water, not sweet drinks everytime.

Jeanne,
Yikes! Do NOT give honey water. I read somehwere before that honey is no good for young children. Something about Botulinus intoxication. Read this link - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botulism
As for your posting, I can totally relate and understand you. I was initially like that too. Frustrated and stressed over such matters. But after having 3 children, I'm kinda immune to such things.
Grandparents will always be grandparents. Given the chance, they will spoil their grandchildren to bits. However, I find that bringing them to doctor check-ups and getting the doctor "tell them off" directly helps more cos the source is an unbias and professional individual. Alternatively, I just relax and let them spoil the child. But once we get home, the usual rules apply. I used to kick up a fuss... but found out the hard way that I was in turn making everyone miserable. My main rule is - if the thing they are doing is not to the extreme detriment of my child's health and well-being, I'm ok with it. Those few times of drinking sweet drinks and eating sweets won't hurt the child. But if this 'giving' is on a prolong basis, then it becomes a different story and will be nib in the butt.
As for the child, no need to be harsh and discipline on every aspect. I find that stresses us out even more. No need to follow those mothering books with precision. Instead, follow your child's lead. When they do as per your instructions, clap for them, cheer them on and be glad. But for days when the child seems to 'rebel', relax.. dun fret. Children do go thru phases of "PMS" too. During the tough times, you can still enforce your rules but discipline with love and tenderness. Screaming, shouting and beating the child won't help. It will just make the child fearful, confused and sad. Especially at this tender age of coming to 2-yrs only.
Trust me. After 3 kids, I've learned finally to let go of the nitty gritty and just to enjoy the whole moments of parenthood and being a child again with my gals.

Jeanne,
As for sweet stuffs, my 3 girls starting taking such things like sweet drinks and all sorts of tibits since they reached 2-yrs. To date, all are doing fine. They still take their plain water and eat proper meals when required. No harm done whatsoever. The key here is... give them in moderation. Dun be over-excited and protective. I know quite tough epsecially if it concerns number #1. I ws those super protective mommy. Din do any good for me, my hub or those around me. Was not easy for me to let her go out from my protective cocoon. Now, I like to expose them to such thrills and treats..... and take delight at the joy in their eyes. hahahahahah....

Hi Alibaba,
hahahah... no lah. Paiseh... Not maid guru. Just unfortunate that in 5-years, I've changed 7 maids liaoz. hahahahahah...
Technically, for any medical associated issues, we gotta bear the charges. So if you are bringing her to those opthalmologist clinic, then legally, the onus is on us to cover 100% of costs. But if you are just bringing her to those normal optical shops for check-up and to get a pair of spectacles, she has to bear the costs. Alternatively, you may wish to split the costs half-half out of goodwill.
I totally agree that if we dun make they bear some costs, they won't take care. Cos they cannot be bothered mah.
