Haha.....weekend mood mah....since boss went for meeting so i rest lor.

Aiyo...of course got shop BP. Buy Hello kitty things for my new house. Muahahaha................
 


Ya lor, you need to travel around.

Ok, going to pack slowly and leave my office. Looking after Anver this few nights make me very tired and my panda eyes so obviuos.

Cya........mummies.
 
In law problems
I think I m quite blessed as I hardly have any inlaw probs..maybe becos I don't stay with them and see them only once a week. But my MIL is generally nice, knows what I like to eat and will cook that occasionally. But in laws being in laws, there are times that they say something that will affect you as they are not your own parents. I still remember 2 occasions.

One is on a week before CNY eve, my mil asked my hubby to remember to go back for reunion dinner on CNY eve then turned to me and asked if I m coming. I was like "Duh!!! of course, I m married to your son", then where else do I go for reunion dinner? I can't be eating at my parent's plc and my hubby comes back to your place right? That instantly made me feel like an outsider. But glad that she only asked that year...didn't ask this stupid qns in subsequent years.

Another occasion is after I gave birth and brought baby to visit them on a usual sun. Baby was lying on the sofa and I was sitting beside him then MIL came along. I then stood up to take something, the moment I stood up, MIL said to my baby, something like "The whole sofa sinks when your mummy was sitting on it". I was pissed when I heard that. YEs, I put on weight but that's becos I just had a baby...

Well...I believe I will be more forgiving if those words were from my mum as I would have taken it as a joke, but when it comes from ILs, ...I will be a bit sensitive.

Riverie
I believe divorce is the last option esp u have a bb. If there is still love bet u and hub, will be such a pity to divorce becos of in laws.
 
Hi donroxx,

My case is mild as compared to reverie's. But im sure reverie is a strong lady and will be able to resolve this problem with ils.
happy.gif
without having to resort to Divorce. It is not worth it to break up a good marriage just because of ils.
This is exactly my tots and that makes me all the more determined not to let ils or his relative affect my marriage.
happy.gif
I also choose to ignore if my mil come over to nag over how i shld care for my son. I also try to think positively if she wants to spend some time with my son cos' that allows me some 'ME' time. :p it's all in the mindset. trying to change it. no point getting all upset over ils for me. i wanna stay youthful..

Hi teddybaby,
I was a little more plump or rather slightly more fleshy last time before i was married. haha..
But i think they see it as FAT lor.
 
moomooland, vernice,

Im going in Dec.. moomooland, must share with me ur experience, k?

reverie,
I hope you'll work out with ur hubby..You two looked ok the last time when I saw you. I was quite surprised when I read yr post. I feel that if your in laws r the problem, you shld MOVE OUT, not divorce la. Im sure things will improve if you see yr in laws less..
 
reverie,

yar man don hav problems w fil/mil...cos they don sweat over e little stuff whereas for ladies, itz e little stuff tat irk or delight us...we tend to get personal during our conversatn w mil...or some fil...furthermore, the old folks will give us this mentality tat 'i eat salt more than u eat rice' so even if they noe u r rite, they wont openly admit...

alfafa...i ok now lar...itz during my post-confinement period where i clashed w her...when i looked back i realise i was @ fault too...mayb when e words entered into my ears, i don like e sound of it so i reacted vehemently towards it...

jasmin a very poetic prose u crafted...howz u n bb doing?
happy.gif


talk abt something lite...my boi went for a haircut yesterday...now like ah bing gor...my dad not so used to his bb look; preferred e little old man look...haha...
happy.gif


He will b 6mths old tomoro 26 Sep...hhmmm we talk more abt our bbs n chase e blues away har...

happy.gif


if your bb's total milk intake per day is at least 500ml then should be ok cos got take solid now. I only gave my gal one cereal meal per day so most of her intake is milk. Her average milk intake daily is abt 800ml these few days. i think growth spurt huh.
 
Nice to meet up with mummies at gymboree today.

Jaszho, nice pics taken. All thanks to your hubby. Would like to thank him for taking quite a few pics of my gal hee...

Lenny and Reverie,
u both are strong mummies..do talk things out with hubby. As wat most mummies said..divorce is the last resort. Hope u both can sort your probs soon.. Hugz

Alfafa,
incase I din log in and hv no chance to wish u a safe and happy trip. Enjoy !!

Sung,
Kindermusik is at #03-11B Tanglin Mall
See ya tomorrow!
 
erm mummies, thanks for your praises. But i think i portrayed a too saintly pic of myself.

It's because i'm afraid of confrontation so therefore i always keep quiet and also my mil is a very headstrong lady. I know no matter what i say, she will not listen cos she has used her method to bring up 2 sons and ain't they doing well? anyway i just close both eyes and leave everything for her to decide now. She's still my girls' grandmama and she will not harm them..
 
Hi dear all mummies
Thank you again for all your listening ears and encouragement. I did tell hubby abt what if we divorce. Well, i was just saying... and i hope of cos not resort to divorce thought i dont deny i thought of it... i hope that things will get back... i told him i am not prepared to have another bb as long as i m staying here... and hope he can "get" us out soon...
I really feel that the forum has really give us alot of support. Thank you so much everyone for sharing...

hubby is v keen to sign alyssa up for the class. kindermusik called me on fri to say there is a slot on sun at 4pm. we are going. might sign up. anyone signed up or going for the same time as us?
 
hi mummies,

<font color="ff0000">re: kindermusik trial later this morn 10am (sun)</font>
<font color="ff0000">any mummies want to take over my slot?</font> pls go with your bb later (ohh better post here so that not more than 1 mummy will go just in case). I can't make it with bb later as I having a bad bout of stomachache and diarrhoea, not sure what i ate. Sigh, ls 7 times since 6pm, can't sleep still coz of the pain. Got to see doc later. No need to pay me back, just dun want the place to be wasted.

Alfafa

think regarding mil problems and it's complications... I had in a way chose the avoidance n take it as it comes attitude after so many years... It juz tire me out n made me a less optimistic n less bubbly happy go lucky person. I wan my old me bk!!! So I now trying very very very hard to adapt the " kong zi" saying of not dwelling in the past. Luckily my hubby knows n understand my wk stress n his family so his on my side but he also become more fustrated as he can't get out if it nor change it. So he stress also the more I complain.

Reverie

lead the best h could under yr current situation. Mayb let his parents knows thAt by hving a happy u Yr hubby n kid also happy. Or r they so unhappy wif u that they would prefer u to b fustrated n cause yr hubby n bb unhappiness as well. Do it n say it objectively. Hard to do so keep practicing n mayb get them to change based on luv for their son. There's no way pils will luv us close to their own child! U can also let them know u understand that as a matter if fact but unless they f keen on u divorcing then let this b known to yf hubby n by then he shld know it's his parents n it's time to move out

ivy
I really pei fu u on yr dun talk to mil attitude n still manage to stay together n sane!! Kudos!!!

My mil probs had in a way cease a lot n think my mil also give way more n so I also hv to reciprocrate. I'm a mum n I wouldn't wan the same to happen to me in the future but who knows how posessive I might b ?!! Haha. Tell them u r grateful to them for the things done but certain words n actions they did were offensive n let them know that it's unpleasant n thus do not do it that way. Once no emotion or personal attackwords r said to them they r more receptive n thus hopefully they will start thinking. I once told my mil indirectly that moving out is an option but I'm still staying so that his son hv a easier life n I dun seen as robbing her chance to see her son everyday. So since we both luv the same men then shldnt we try to accomidate each other to make his life better!! Haha me balantly straight n blunt bug that's really how I felt.

I still hv my probs n trust me that mummies who heard abt my probs that it's juz the tip of the iceberg. Those r at most abt 20%. But frankly mummies take it objectively n de IDE for yrself yr option. Most imptlly dun be like an oyster pearl. Pearl comes abt hving external objects introduced but yet unable to plunge it out n thus a pearl created. Isn't this this reason y there r so many cancer patients, tumors this n that. I seek enlightenment in this sense n realize I dun wan to so n so if i can't get out of it I try to seek ways to make it easier but if hubby not supportive then tough I would say so talk abt it n seek a resolution rather than avoidance as it juz builds up.
 
Heyhey sung, hope u are feeling better! He your hubby is fine and can help u take care of bb. If u don't mind, I would like to take over your kindermusik slot. Have u paid? if u have, how do I pay you?
 
oops, realise i have to bring tris for jab this morning! hahaha sorry sorrym another mommy can take over the kindermusik (sung's) slot!

mummies.

Thanks
 
about MILS :
sometimes i will love her to bits, sometimes i will hate her to the core.. hahahaa!! before i got married, i tried to manage my MIL, she was stubborn in a way but i knew whatever she did, it was for the betterment of the family, that's y i never raised my voice or even quarrelled with her before.. not forgetting that she is the one who brought the man i was madly in love to me too.. now with a bb, i appreciated her even more.. and yes, we do apologised politely to each other too..

sun,

Good morning!

Is your boy reacting the same to all other type of food? If he is, maybe he is not ready for solids yet.

Hi Mummies,

I received a sms threathening the well being of my family yesterday from the ghost of my past.

apparently, someone here shared with him what i posted all these while in this forum.

i always thought this thread is a place where friendships are developed, where we shared the joys and pains of our lives with other mummies to encourage each other and help each other to pull through.. be it past, present or future.

there are points that i cannot comprehend from his actions:

1. My nick might not be my real name form a general reader thus i don't know how it links to him

2. in my generation, my name is very common among indonesians.. i have been having problems creating log in ID and getting my name as it is for email address due to many lenny susantys in the world.

3. I have never mentioned any names to the persons i have been refering to all these while

I don't know why this person in our forum had sent him many / all the posts that i have written, be it. about my family, about my baby, about my hubby, about my ILs and about my life. wonder why such keen interest about me and updates him about my present.*scratching my head*

As a friend to him, it might be done out of good will. I will not argue and blame this person for her actions. I hope she feels better now that all these is coming back to haunt me again after all the efforts i have done to start a new life. May God Bless her cotton socks
happy.gif


I can only sought the assistance of those who help me thru by keeping me safe during my darkest period of time to stand by just in case things get out of hand.

Haiz...will need to dig out my old handphone, a phone that i kept to remind me of my past.. In the phone, i have stored all the sms of apologies from him for his behaviour to stand by as well.

So much for wanting a peaceful and tranquil life.haiz...
 
sun,

Yes..most likely he doesnt like pumpkin. I think jojo mentioned that her boi also dont like pumpkin. I read somewhere that things which bb dont like, got to keep trying to introduce every now and then, one day he would accept the food.
 
lenny,
so sorry to hear that you have such a kpo fren. There is always such stalkers in the virtual world. Hope everything will be fine for you.

sun,
try mixing with cereal?
I tried peach puree with baby yesterday and he din like it too...after 20mins of trying, i gave up. I went to mix his Frisocream with the peach puree and he finish up 1 big bowl. haha..
 
lenny
sorry to hear that too! i think from this incident , is better that we learn not to over reveal ourselves in the forum. anione can step in our thread and read as a silent reader. sounds like a lil scary har? hope things will be fine for u.
 
mummies,

any recommendagtion of vegetable to feed as compliment to Sweet potato?

for example.. if i feed 1 - 2 tsp of sweet potato, i would like to add another 15ml of vege.. any recommendation apart from carrots?

I read that sweet peas are recommended but.. at the weaning talk.. asian babies are adviced to start on legumes only after bb reach 8th mth.

Thanks in advance.
 
sunshinebaby
My boy has been taking Friso 1 and now Friso 2. Don't find it heaty but like northvirgo mentioned, will have lots of bubbles even though I only swirl from side to side.

Lenny
Sorry to hear about that. In this virtual world, anyone is able to just do a search and find out the links that you have visited, the messages that you have posted. Hence, it's important to only post stuff you are comfortable with sharing with others or rather those who have ill intention to stalk you. Hope things will be back to normal and you can lead a peacefu life.
 
re: feeding of solid

wonder is the timing or its me or its SH ... so hard to feed solid =p i dun rem my #1 as so hard to feed oso or that time i more 'siao on' so anything irritating was considered fun hahahahah

anyway ... brought SH for his 1st wedding yest ... he had fun rolling on the couple's bed but behaved badly at the dinner ... think he was tired and hungry but yet super distracted ... so when I use the nursing cover to latch him on ... he keep looking around INSIDE the cover and tried to push the cover away *faint*

anyway my #1 was super funny ... cos he was tasked to roll on the bed + pee into the urina ... so i told him that he need to help the couple cos they wan to have a bb

he v ONz ... after he pee ... he kept asking me the whole day ... 'mummy, aunty and uncle marry already ... are they staying the hotel to take out the baby??'
 

jasmin, northvirgo
yr bb poo daily? or more than once daily?

jasmin
a lot of bubbles huh... did u burp yr bb aft every feed? so far, NAN not much bubbles...

seabreeze
