1sttimepapa,
when i changed role within my current company, i was pregnant w C1 the 1st time around, and just discovered my pregnancy with C2 (last Sep) the 2nd time around. to me, tis abt honesty. bcz i m already pregnant and i know abt it, i told my prospective bosses even before the interview phase started, just so that they can take my pregnancy into consideration. i got the job both times.
now. if tis a new employer, i wouldnt mention abt the MIL condition. newborn bo pian, pple sure look at the application form and query one. just say there are arrangements in place to look after the newborn, and leave it at that. as an interviewer, i also want to know how the prospective staff would cope, also for my own planning purposes. if she doesnt bring it up, i would bring it up at the end of the interview. better that the interviewee volunteer info abt childcare arrangements herself.
however, if the application form doesnt require you to state age of family members, then tis really NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS until the staff is hired. then i would keep quiet until hired.
anyway, that is my take la.
bbdust, dazz,
heheh. you 2 ah... keep the chatter going lor. bbdust surely missed dazz!!!
mrsm, woofy,
*passes virtual BIG cup of coffee/tea/milo/choose your own caffeniated beverage* wake up darlings! another hour or 2 to knock off and go home liao!
ming,
yes, you are doing the right thing. maid, once she decides she isnt going to work anymore, better go back to the agency.

Dazz: I stopped cooking porridge for my girl some time back cos she fussy. Only want white rice. Now I steam one bowl softer rice on top of our rice with her usual porridge 'liao'. But she sometimes lazy chew without swallowing. One day I saw a whole bunch of sweet corn in her poo, whole n undigested!

Hi mommies,
Ok, the bali trip is pretty uneventful except for the night flight back due to the disruption of my gal's sleeping time. Bali is actually a small town as most roads are 1-lane street, thus very prone to traffic jam, thus travelling from town to town is a hassle especially w a 1-year old toddler in tow when stuck in a traffic jam.
The villa that Ming recommended is beautiful and my gal loves splashing in the jacuzzi pool (which is heated). Not all restaurants have baby seats, so must ask before u sit down and order. Hee....
I stayed in Seminyak area which is more quiet as compared to Kuta, thus shopping-wise not so much things to see.
The villa is near the famous bali restaurant Ku De Ta, which is a stylish and modern restaurant and serves v good cuisine at 30% off Singapore's fine dining price! Must remember to make ur reservation in Singapore! The restaurant welcomes children, not to worry.
The day trip to Ubud is very interesting and fun. Strongly recommend the Dirty Duck restaurant at Ubud for its crispy fried duck, yummy!!!!
Last thing - the WEATHER is HOTTTTTTTTT!!!!!! I will say it is even hotter than Singapore due to the lack of foliage. Bring lots of clothes to change. Hee.....
Oh, still got 1 last last thing. Remember to keep aside $150,000 RP per adult for the airport tax when coming back to Singapore. That is around
$23 sin$.

Baby bites
Taste good till I even snack on it at one period. From then, I concluded that it is too salty for baby since I found it tasty
Compare the sodium content of the chicken flavor with other brands of baby biscuits (like pigeon) & you'll see that it can be 4x higher.
I wonder if easy to bake it ourselves? I want to try leh but only see recipes for those hard teething biscuits.
Anyone know of recipes for rice biscuits?

If we get $ each time they bite we will be $$$$$$$$$$!
Maddie
Is it better now? Mine's still painful but less so. Think it will take a long time.
Ming
Sorry to hear about your maid. Hope you get good help soon [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Read about your trip makes me want to go to!

Wish BbO speedy recovery!
1sttimepapa
Just tell them that everything is well and stable at the moment and leave it at that.
Re: Corn poo
I thought even for adults corn passes through and emerge the other end still yellow? That's why it is a good way to see how long it takes for your food to be processed by your body?

mummies,
does your maid use your toiletries? i suspect my maid has been using cos one particular bottle (baby oil) the levels drop even when no one else uses it. since it's capped, i don't think it spills lor. asked her at supermarket last weekend if she needed to buy anything and she said no. that was when i already suspected and took note of the level, and made it a point not to use. just wondering how to tell her that's all. yesterday already told her off for cooking too early. we usually have dinner at 7pm. past few weeks, on and off she will cook early and i will ask her if she's hungry thats why she cook early. she will laugh and say no. on monday, she cooked everything and even laid out rice and all by 610pm. so my hb told her after that that we have dinner at 7. yesterday she started cooking at 6 again. it was a simple dinner, fry veg and sardines, so can be ready by 620pm? so i told her to stop cooking halfway thru and to cook later, else food get cold. so she only put food on table at 645pm. whole day yesterday black face. today dunno how to tell her abt the toiletries. at times like this i feel quite sian with a maid lor. plus my maid is a good maid.
