(2009/07) July 2009 MTBs


TJE,
LOL! Well think of my situation - what I told you y'day. Had to spend last night at my mum's. Didn't sleep well, neck hurts, went for a crappy massage, now it's even worse, went home without bb, cleaned the place a bit. Wanted to take my mum out for dinner but bb was cranky and had a slight fever (not sure bec of teething or not). And he's not with me tonight :-((, but at my mum's - I don't want him back until I've thoroughly cleaned the place ....so I had a pretty shitty Mother's Day too. Sigh! But tell yourself everyday is MD, esp when she smiles at you and your heart can melt. :)
 
TJE

mothers day - my hb is gg to get it big time when he's back this week end. have to make up for my non-event. lamagier's breakfast in bed idea is good. i'll add that to my list. i think my best pressie from bbies is their health. i'm counting my blesggins, esp since bb decided to have bad constipation yest and cried and cried. luckily she managed to clear her systems. big big relief. did you mums read the sunday times artc on mum's day ? whoa, i teared a little.

chiyojade
U remind me of how stress I were to have Stacia
happy.gif
For me, the strips/kits work well! Been on temp chart for months too! These 2 help me a lot! And agree with twinkle, TCM works wonder too for some ppl.. so no harm giving it a try! I've tried western med for 2-3yrs (even twice of scary IUIs) with no success! Switched to TCM & strike after only 3-4mths!!! Anyway, I could share my contact too if u needed it. And yeah, I'm waiting for the reply from the seller on the swimming bag *wink* I'll update u again!

Had a bad Mother's Day last night. My SIL and my hb are supposed to look for a place for dinner last night. End up she can't be bothered so my hb booked a place. nvrmnd.

When we get there, my MIL asked #1, why go there, can't we eat at home? Very pissed already. Was told by FIL to get a place, now she tell us why we can't eat at home. Then said timing so early at 6pm (coz we couldn't get a later time slot) and it's very rush for my SIL. Ya, she rush lah, we not rush. We've 2 kids to lug, she only has 1. Said she very busy on Sun, morn go church, after go shopping then never go home etc etc. Ya, we do that every Sun too and we never complain. We had to wake my boy up from his nap or stop him from taking his nap just to have dinner with them on Sun! Now she come and tell me my SIL very rush. So fed up with her.

Then my SIL's family came (late as usual) and she said, why must we go that place, what's so special abt that place that we must make that trip there? Hello! It's at Vivocity, not some ulu jungle. She didn't wanna book a place now she wanna complain. Damn pissed with that 2 women!
 
PAGING for CHIYOJADE
I've just received the seller reply & tried to forward u the email but it was bounced back! PM me if u see this ok? They have only 1pc left!

mashy
easy... easy... I think almost all ILs r the most irritating creatures
happy.gif
so u're not alone!
 
Me too have hard time with my MIL when she looking after my eldest son at my SIL place back in 2005/06..
my SIL is fine, it just my MIL literally dun let me bring my son back home during weekend or PH!
she claim tat she will be lonely n 'nothing to do' if my son is not ard..
In the end i insist to bring my son home when he is 8mth old n get a Indo helper to look after him.
I know i m taking a risk but at least i can see my son everyday...

Talk about TCM, me too strike the 2nd mth after consume it, b4 tat had TTC for almost 2yrs liao..

Linsu, no prob at all, i just cross the rd only as i @ sim lim square.. ya, rochor is indeed a mess now..
 
meiyun

wow, that's terrible. There're really some crazy possessive MILs who wanna 'own' their grandchildren. Glad u managed to take him back.
 
mashy,
Sigh, sometimes people just complain before they think. You never make noise so they don't see problems you face trying to cooridinate the meal. I'm kinda lucky last week, I guess. Mil was working so there wasn't a need to fight over whose mother to dine with


Re: In-laws
I guess really depends on luck. Like dino-mum has a great mil who's terrific with lil dino. It takes a lot of practice to find out what works and what don't in handling relationships with ILs. I'm still trying to work on my relationship wth in-laws as well? Anyone care to donate me lots of tolerance, patience, love & understanding?

How I wish it could be like programing and maths. It's either a "Yes" or "No". No grey areas, no second-guessing
 
Mums who have brought babies overseas,
How do you sterilise bottles in the hotel room? We don't have access to a microwave. My mum suggested using boiling water to scald the bottles/teats for a few minutes. Do you think that will be sufficient?
 
sunnyduck,

You can use sterilizing pills. What I did was bring a few large zipbloc bags, throw the bottles in with water, add the sterilizing pills, leave them in the bag for a few hours or overnight then take them out and sterilize them again with hot boiling water (kiasu) then cap them up
 
Poohbear -
Thanks! Are the sterilising pills from Pureen? I saw them on sale at Giant once... Those should be okay to work with tap water right?
 
Poohbear,
Thanks! Are the pills from Pureen? I think I saw them on sale at Giant supermarket. I guess it's ok to just use with hotel tap water?
 
Sunnyducks,

There's a few brands...I used Pigeon. I just use the hotel tap water. But if you really are worried guess you can boil the water first then cool it to use but it's a bit troublesome...btw, I dunno which country you going or whether you are the kiasu type but for C when I brought her overseas, the water I used for her to drink or make milk were distilled water (I even boiled the distilled water when I needed hot water) cos I had a bad experience once with my elder one where she had bad LS for a week after I use the hotel tap water even though I boiled it!
 
sunnyduck,
I also think it's better to sue wither distilled or mineral water. Even for some countries, you are not advised to drink the boiled tap water.

lamagier and the rest,
Sending you patience for your ILs.
Am blessed because I have GREAT ILs, but what also makes them great is that they aren't always around so when we see each other, it's always very nice. LOL!!! And most importantly (if they irritate me, which is hardly ever), I always tell myself, they mean well. It just comes out the wrong way. :) Well, I most prob be going back to see them in Jul/Aug, so we'll see how things are done, now that I have a baby! :-D
 
Poohbear and Chiyojade,
Not going v far... to Malaysia only. But my first trip abroad with baby so a bit kanchiong!
happy.gif
Thanks for the tips!
 
Chiyojade

haha, that's prob coz u hardly see your ILS. :p

Lamagier
many times I feel like just walking out of the door. But I just held it down.
 
sunnyduck,
There's one thing I forgot to take when I went away and that was a sponge to wash the bottles/pacifiers - so don't forget that. ;-P

We ended up using my mother's spare clean sponge for her make-up! LOL!
 
TJE, sorry to hear you had a "shitty" mother's day, and like what Linsu said, everyday is mother's day, so I hope you mother's day today is better.

I had a good start for mother's day but ended badly--had a bit of food poisoning (I think) and purged everything.. After dinner, I felt very pain "contractions" at my belly, from gastric to lower ab, I was even feeling hard lumps when the "contractions" happened!!! Then I had to dump my plate and went for the throne. It finally ended with pukes, while I was doing that, I thought of Etrito. Told her about it and she thought miracle can happen to me, sigh, it's food poisoning dear...

RE: ILs
Walau!!! What a possessive MILs and c'mom, get a life!! Her life is not just revolving around that grand son I hope!! *fainted*

When I thought about how Kaelem got so inecured and clingy, I do feel angry with my MIL for giving my hb a very wise advice of leaving him to cry to sleep when he woke up in the middle fo the night. I already told them this boy is very insecure and when he cries, he gets more energized and NO ONE believe me!!! Now, they know! Still so mad!! HOW COULD ANYONE BE SO SMART TO DO WHATEVER SHE DID TO HER SON WHO WAS THEN 1 YEAR OLD TO HER SON'S SON WHO WAS ONLY 8MTHS!!! Every child is different! I was so angry, I post the video on K's facebook with a note saying "proof to mommy I am different from my daddy"! Still mad!

Chiyojade, I hope you are better..

I am getting the flu bug from K I think.. last night, after the vomiting and all, I was feeling so cold and pain at back of the nose and headache I put on all the long pj and socks to sleep, I felt like I am in my confinement days again.. Today, lots of phlegm and still painful at the back of the nose.
 
hbb
hahhaha.. okie okie, thx for info! Last nite went to Eastpoint Popular.. the chart selection is not so nice & more for bigger kids.. shall try Forum when I got time..

chiyojade
Only rec'd your emails but not sms leh.. weird.. anyway, doesn't matter now hehehe.. we've settled last nite! Hope u find what u like!

kim
oh nooo.. seems like most of the mommies who swam in the rain last Sat, were sick! Hope u feel better soon!
I agree with your saying about every baby is diff! DEFINITELY!!! Obviously they have diff characters & need diff ways of handling.. After this, will u still extend your stay? hahahhaa...
happy.gif
very baddd..
 
Chiyojade,
Thanks for your dose of patience =) These few days I'm re-assessing the situation and pyscho myself not to get too hung up, nit-pick & drive myself crazy. They love their grandchild & son and I appreciate it, even though sometimes we do not see eye to eye on certain issues. Feeling better now. My mil has refused to step into my place since CNY. I can get over it, but she can't. So I guess we just take baby steps, one step at a time


mashy,
I understand how you feel. Haha, I'm trying to train myself to let my mind go blank when things like that happen, bite my tounge and not say anything that I will regret later.
 
linsu
u can go to Tampines One, the same level as the food court. There's one bookstore that sell nice charts n books.

lamagier
cool it... yr inlaws r really not easy to handle too.
 
Thanks BBethan

TJE,
it's a give and take. I'm married to her son, 'marry' his family as well. So have to try to make things work. Must set good example for MR to follow

Bestberries,
You stay together with your mil right? Not possible to steer clear of each other. I appreciate the fact me & the husband stay separate from parents actually. I think it's pretty hard when suddenly move in to stay with husband's family after marriage, unless you already know the family very well. Kudos to all mothers out there who stay under the same roof as ILs and able to maintain a harmonious relationship
 
lamagier,

my ILs also never step into my house since my bb was 2 month old.
As there is a long story behind unless mommies here allow me to nag over here.

i really hate ppl who say promises and never keep or do it. she give me alot of promises when i preggie but she never do a single promises that she given to me, in the end i nearly end up depression.... so now i only see her 3 or 4 month a times. I used to stay with her for 3 year but i always try to hold on to her. Even all the chores i have to do for her, she never lay a finger to do it when we stay together... hai.... sorry i should not say so much about her anymore. Fogive and Forget
 
yes.. IN laws...
very interesting creature,
sometime (or most of the time?) rather irritating,
need a lot of interaction,
always think tat they r indispensable,
dunno accept tat his son (which marry us) has a independent family now...

Btw, realise one thing, izit always us as a DIL have so many comments to our MIL ?? (incl me of cos)
Why our hb as a SIL seldom comments about their MIL (our mum)?? (at least my hb doesn't)
And yet our mother also comments about her DIL in front of us??
Very interesting (and common?) cycle ya... just some thoughts...
 
meiyun
haha... i like that!
my hb always remind me that we have a son and next time our DIL will do the same thing.

bestberries/pinky
agree... same roof but never same agreement. The key is FORGIVE and FORGET. at the end of each day i reach home, if she nags abt how naughty baby is, i just smile and take over my baby. 1 ear in and 1 ear out.

im fallin sick again.. today gt a bit of runny nose plus headache.. i hope it b gone tomolo =(
im falling sick so ever often ever since i gave birth... use to b sick every other year..now its every other WEEK
i am contemplating to stop breast feeding.. cos i tink it might b 1 of the reason why i fall sick...
 
HBB

ya, lucky u!

Have u been taking your supplements? Need to take supps when bf leh. Extra Calcium? Maybe it's coz you're too tired from taking care of Edna. Not so much as the breastfeeding. But if that is making u tired, then stop lor. Otherwise, take a break.
 
mashy i stop supplement like calcium long ago .. haiz..
ya i tink the resting part also lor... but it snot a 1 day rest kind of thgy that makes the system recover.. sigh...
