MIL horror stories. dun start me on this.

Ty, you should be the anti-MIL President! issuing any membership? sometimes i wonder what's in our MIL's head. nowadays my MIL insists on meeting up for stupid lunch or dinner. where got so much time to always meet? and then she always want pple to SEND AND PICK HER UP. aiya i tell u, she always behave like a prima donna and if we are late for 5 to 10 mins, she would give us a black face. whereas her own dear daughter, late for half an hr, and expect everyone to wait for her. never even said a word of sorry. my MIL dun even dare to hoot 1 sound! see, the different standards?! i always say my MIL always bully my hubby. she sits near to my hubby in the car, and direct him her direct him there, like telling a cab driver how to drive. wa piang, i want to faint leh. the brainless/clueless want to direct the driver

 


Tiger baby, the only time i feel I'm at her mercy is when I eat food prepared by her. But so far, she has been ok. I know there is no perfect maid n I'm ok to tolerate her silliness with some ranting. When I tell her we will not hesitate to send her back if she doesn't wish to stay, we also assue her that we want her to work for us. Ok la, now she's back to normal le. Hopefully I dun see her daydreaming again.

 
Jojo, your MIL also another kind. luckily you are not staying with her, or else you would be bitting each other's head off everyday or tear down the roof!



xx, wah you really plan and let your zz eat so many varities of food for every meal? sounds like a spread! i think my bb would like lor, except that lazy me wouldn't do that. haha

 
hi mommies! i'm looking for a preowned Fisher Price Rainforest Jumperoo. If you've one to sell, pls do let me know by PM the price, condition and location. many thanks!

 
MIL horror stories...

haha TY i wanna join your club also...

mummies going to Hope's house later..enjoy...too bad cannot join in.

Are we having a joint bdae bash?

 
XX

ur ZZ eat sooooo many varities of food!!!



Gathering/BB Parties/Playdates

I'm gonna miss out alot alot on all these... =(

All thanks to my overwhelming rashes.. Spreading non stop & the itchyness & pain .. Accompanied by very sore shoulders.. *Sigh big time*

 
Jojo- Y ur MIL lyk tat de. First time hear cannot celebrate on actual day, oni heard cannot celebrate ltr. Crazy to snatch e day wif a child. For mi, I definately will say her' I tot cannot celebrate on e actual day if nt no gd' Tis is e child first birthday y make it difficult for u.



Ty- How can u exclude mi from tis ILs topic? Anyway most of u oni gt MIL to deal wif bt for mi I gt FIL n MIL tis 2 idiots to deal with. I think ur MIL def study together wif mine. Mine is e head prefect during their times. She used to tell mi how bad is her MIL to her n now didn't she think back how bad is she to mi. Next time dun even need to bother inviting them for meals.



Zinc- Dun b upset over FIL nt coming to ur boy birthday party coz mine nv once came for his any parties. When i gave birth he oso nv come at all so tis time round I dun even bother to invite him coz waste of time n saliva to tell him since I noe he wun come. Tis time round even worst MIL oso nt coming. They used to tell mi no traiditon in e family to celebrate all tis occasions so did it at my mum's place den immed call those aunties tell mi how 'hal lian' m i to do e parties. FYI, they dun even gib any pow to my boys even when #1 is e first great grandson n grandson in their family.



Bebe- Glad ur hb realised tat u n ur ILs relationship worsened. MY hb oso realised it thankfully n agree tat we will get our new flat n stay by ourself. Last time he used to b persistent tat he muz stay wif his parents since he's e oni son.



Hope- Wun b able to make it to Jojo party cum playdate. Enjoy all mummies n babies. Say Happy Birthday to Jojo for mi.



Re: MIL

Personally, they exceeded my limits n once I explode at them n subsequently I wun give face when talking to them coz they r juz brainless people who dun understand wat e hell I'm talking bout so haf to b vr direct to them. Lately, I was vr unhappy wif FIL feeding #1 wif lots of junk food n I called my MIL n tell her straight bout my disatisfactory wif FIL n true enuff they really dun dare to give him le. Sometimes nt say trying to b bad bt some people u haf to b vr direct wif them

 
Xx -I also give variety of food, but no udon yet. Thinking of cooking buckwheat noodles but have not tried out yet. I also make baked normal potatoes n sweet potatoes.. Let him try different textures. My hubby said later I spolit his appetites.. I said I feed him porridge daily also will sian de mah



Cheeriois my family fav, we can eat this anytime of the day.

My boy likes it but I scared too heaty so will only give him once a while.



My pils used to take my silence for granted, think I m so chin

chye. Until I become Sahm, I decided how to run the family in my own ways..then they realize I also can be bad

tempered n fussy. My man Kenna my complaints many times when mil did my confinement. And when he was away, I took pics to show him, not that I petty but this is what really happened. Now the message is clear to him, I tried not to complain to him too often liao. It is not worth to spoil our relationship over pils.



Maybe it stemmed from different family background. My own family is not close knitted. We still very polite to one another, n my parents do not expect themselves to involve in thei children's lives after marriage. But pils will wanna hv say in everything unless I put my foot down.

 
Mummies

Jumperoo

Sorry to disturb Mommies. I posted earlier about the FP rainforest jumperoo but realise my PM was off. have activated it. If anyone has a jumperoo to sell, pls do PM or email me at [email protected] Thanks!

 
Amo i got the sample pack Stage 3 from Mamil Gold with the discount coupon. expiry is 31 dec 2011. do u want it?



For me, i only give plain bread with butter. didn't add any jam to give to my bb yet

 
Hope, thks for offering jojo's cots, but we just bought a new cot cos hubby wanted a new one.



Can I ask if cot bumpers are necessary and does it help prevent knocks?

 
Hope, thanks for inviting us to ur place and let us "wow!" at the amount of toys jojo has!



Ty, I only used cot bumpers when the mattress was set at the highest height. now tat it is set at the lowest, I no longer use cot bumpers.

 
hope, thanks for having us! we also "wow!" jojo's toys. he's such a lucky boy.



ty, i think no need to have cot bumpers anymore. i still put them since i have but it serves no purpose.



amouroux, u can cut the bread into strips n lightly toast them. they can feed themselves too.

 
Thks tiger and xx. I won't buy then, hope my bb won't keep knocking his head. I fed sx bread but he kept choking on it or it sticks on top on his mouth and he digs it out and paste the goo on me!

 
elise, ya man, cant imagine if i have to stay under her roof and see her lian se everyday..!



sheryl, u take care oki... no way to get rid of the rashes ar? any creams gynae can prescribe?



jolene, haiz i duno whats her intention la... cant tink of a reason for her other than she wana fight with little R for the actual day glam?? thanks so much for lending me ur bumbo..! have been feeding R in it at home since Thursday..! so happy with it as it keeps him inside for at least a short while so i can fast fast feed finish.. :D



amoroux, i haven given bread to R yet.. didnt let him try alot of things so far.. not been very adventurous.. stopped introducing new foods since duno when.. now everyday pork/chicken/fish porride and cereal/heinz jars..



hope, thanks for having us at ur place today... we had so much fun!! u reaaaally have alot of toys!! lucky jojo!!



ty, the bumpers didnt seem to work for us.. it'll slide down anyways and R will still knock the cot bars.. dig out paste on u, sx very funny haha.. it's his way of telling u he doesnt like bread.. lol..

 
hi mummies

didn't check forum past few days cos bb down with fever. luckily recovered by monday nite.



Jojo

"Flex Adrian -White/Grey" is the shoe which cost alot here. yah, i know the boss but I didn't ask for discount. only ask for free balloons. but dun knw if they'll give or not cos I didn't really pester. lol. I think if taking packages from them, I'll have more bargaining power.



hope

sorry. didn't have time to check Amazon yet. will try find time after bb's bd. U mentioned to find leap frog fm US. it's cheaper to get from there also? Btw, if someone gg there for holiday, can also collect the orders? Means I order online and state the address as the hotel's a few days before someone reaches the hotel? U know how it works?

 
My boy has loose bowel since Sunday evening..won't exactly say diahorrea as it was not very watery..but having to shit 4 times per day is abnormal for him, and with fever ranging 38 to 39 - I think I better send him to my PD today.



XX - I saw yr boy drinking magnolia fresh milk..and I had the same concerned as Zoie..do we have to serve the milk chilled? I read abt alternative to FM..and seemed like full fat cow milk is the recommended type. Is full fat cow milk the same as fresh milk? Saw Bliss's commenting that growing up milk is recommended but I thought that is meant for older toddler? I am so confused. Later will ask my PD..though I know she will ask me to stick back to breastfeeding.



By the way, I saw this simple pancake recipe in one of those babies' site..u might wanna give it a try



Baby carrot pancakes



Vegetarian

Contains iron

Good source of calcium and betacarotene



100g flour

150ml milk

1 egg

1 tsp olive oil

50g grated carrot



Make the pancakes by beating together the flour, milk, egg and oil until you have a thickish batter. Add in the grated carrot, and stir well. Heat a little vegetable oil until hot then drop the batter, a dessertspoon at a time, into the oil. Once browned, turn over and cook the other side. Cook until all the batter is used up. Serve with some soft cheese, and slices of fruit or tomatoes.

 
mummies,

back to work but still having on-off fever. sigh. stupid throat infection.

im swearing off the tidbits!

Mummies, I'm damn pissed with kidzpartystore. Posted on their fb page. I'm trying my best not to be nasty. Hate dealing with this kinda ppl with lousy work attitude.

 
Bebe, I see that stage three milk powder r labelled as growing up milk. After they had their first birthday, they r toddlers le.

 
Amo, i have send u an sms!



Poor bluey, have more water and liang teh, ok?



Cot bumpers, i still put them! but my bb always pulls and push it aside.

 
Mummies

I'm PISSED!!! I called up a childcare for Olaf's playgroup and I remember during my visit in February, the lady told me there is a long waitlist of >100 but mostly for older toldders but playgroup's still oki. They'll only take in registration later part of 2011. But now it's only mid 2011 and she said is FULL?!



Thanks Elise

 
Mummies

Thanks much for dropping by yest!! Sry for not being a good host in my cramped lil place ( the toys didnt help!) but I will strive to improve the next round of hosting!! Haha!!



Yaozi

I havent tried vacation type.. I'm not sure if shipping this way works.. Issues to consider is delayed shipment, delayed processing on both courier and hotel, parcel too big.. Unless it's a long stay at a particular hotel.. Otherwise perhaps can give shopping list and try to search in us stores



Xx

Wad happened? I bot those peripherals frm kidspartystore compass pt.. I ordered some balloons n banner from them before too



U coming up w our June babies bash yet?? Rem ur big big arrow u kena at the door?

Bebe if you going PD can you help me ask if bb can eat soft cheese already?



Ya who's coming to my place tomorrow?

Let me know so I know how much bb food to prepare.

Jojo, Jenn, Tiger maybe

Hope, can come at 12 plus la, no prob one.

If we get bored at my "less toys" house we can go out kai kai.

 
Hi mummies

I've a pair of See Kai Run shoes for sale which was bought at the recent Motherhood Expo Fair and underestimated my bb's feet size. I wanted to head back another day to exchange for bigger size but was caught up with bb's fever. I bought it at $24.90 and will sell it at the same price cos they're new and not worn. Size is for 12-18months. The same shoes selling at Mothercare for $49.90 (even after their current GSS promo, still more x)



The shoes model:

Callum 12-18 mo. (Brown / White / Teal Shoe).



Shoe Design:

http://www.seekairun.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=CALLUM



Please check out their sizes here in case you end up like me. Bought already but too small to fit in. End up become a display item. (Refer to first table)



http://www.seekairun.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?display=action&emptyoverride=yes&template=SKRTemplates/SKR/sizing.html



Anyone interested, please PM me.

 
Amouroux, that's very bad of them.



Hope, I will type my ah mah long story later n fb u if u r interested to know. I'm suspecting this store is opened by some rich tai tai whose nose is too high up in the air to listen n communicate with their customers. N too high class to admit their mistakes n offer apologies. I'm not just pissed by the problems but also pissed by HOW they handle the problems.



N oh, thanks for bringing the arrow into the forum man. Birthday bash at peekaboo/go go bambini/fidgets sometime in early July. Any strong objections here? I think ty mentioned we dun have to book the place exclusively right? Just set a date n time n we all go together. Bring a cake n sing birthday song n take photos. Can or not huh? Will we be fined by them? Haha... I dun think we can blow candles there if we din book exclusively leh.

 
hope

Hope, yaozi, I accidentally delete the long story I typed out for tiger baby. Suan le la. It's over le. Maybe they just hire the wrong staff to represent their company. Btw, I re-order from them in the end. Lazy to hunt for new store at this time. So embarrassing...



Amouroux, good for u! At least they bother to apologise. Heehee...



Hope, test le ma?
