bliss,
i think my son's tantrums mostly started from my maid. she pampered him too much. she won't beat him cuz she dislike the idea of beating children. have already told her she can beat him if he is naughty, but she told me my son will be a good boy when he grows up. -.-" so now, my son always bite my maid (i think she deserves it, haha), but rarely happened to any of us. i even use my fingers to flick him when he misbehaves, hubby also do that, his comes with more strength, that's why son is scare. plus his ah gong (fil) won't beat my son, the most only say him. but hor, i always feel that when nobody is @ home (he + maid) during weekdays, my son is pretty good except throwing tantrums. but during weekends, he behaves machiam he is the boss, refusing to nap. -.-"
sometimes i just bochap him when he is in one of his mood.
now another headache: my son tends to leave his food inside his mouth, as if he is a hamster. forever takes him very long to chew & swallow his food. are all kids like that? last time before my maid came, my son would sit quietly during his meal times, watches tv & guai guai eat his food fed by my mil. once after maid came, my son climbed onto her head & 'shite', run around the house, walk here & there. can took him an hour to finish 1 meal. zzzzzzz.
