maid holding out for increment
if you can, call their bluff. tell them they can always go out to look for new employer. 1sttimepapa and bbdust, you gotta psycho your maid now that your home environment with only one child to look after is very good already. go to new environment sekali their new boss got 3 or 4 children, plus housework to do!
charismama,
hang in there! the sickness will pass! shoo shoo all germs away.
rurucat,
when they are older... say like 2 years later... you can bring them along w you to nearby countries within SE Asia. my mum tells me, the days with children are long, but the years are short. so those years will pass by in a flash. endure now, enjoy later [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
(i dun hope for my boys to sponsor me on overseas trip, i only hope they are independent and dun come and ask me for money once they graduate from formal schooling)
Car seat in taxi with stroller
all i can say is WOW!
maddie,
ok this makes me look v selfish. but if i were in gbh's shoes, i wouldnt bother to teach the other toddler. why should i? chi li bu tao hao. i have my own children to teach already v siong, where to find the time and energy to teach other pple's children.
just keep todB's expensive toys away when the other todd comes around.
you know, i havent actually seen C2 stop himself yet... but maid tells me there was once he was heading towards the power point, stopped, said no no to himself using his whole palm (fine motor skills not that advanced, unable to use just one index finger)
C2's current obsessions
wiping surfaces with tissue/cloth, throwing things into/out of containers, dancing to elmo dvd music (and also trying to switch on my dvd/cd player). i vaguely rem C1 doing the same at this stage.
maid complaint
just received call fm aunt.... maid let C2 chew on the bottle covers, which is really quite yucks. aunt thinks this maid is too task oriented. scared she cannot finish her work. so anything that keeps C2 quiet, she will use. hmmm. when MIL comes tonight, must tell her to watch maid like hawk (i am sure she will anyway, without me telling her
)
