afternoon mummies.
Did somebody mention that the ccs are full?? Which ccs are you referring to?
Hi chua,
Welcome to this thread.
I have a maid, who takes care of my going-to 16mths girl. She has been with me since my girl was one month old. She used to work for my aunty for eight years. Went back to Indonesia one and half month and back to Sin to work for me. So, i would say she is not a 'new' maid, if not i will not employ maids at all becos of their 'reputation' (simply can't trust them). And also, my granny is staying with me. She acts as a 'supervisor'. She and this maid are pretty closed.
May i know which part of Woodlands are you staying? I am one of the 'pioneer' Woodlands residents..hehe..some of the mummies here too.

hihi
Chua,
Maids - My dear helper is taking care of my kids with supervision from my mum. She is wonderful with the children and well loved by them too. Too bad she is going home in Dec... sigh.... I agree with the rest, best to have supervision. But sometimes we just have no choice yes?
U ever thought of installing camera?
Bee,
At least your hb trust your skills leh. Everytime I ask my hb if want to cook, he will say cook what then after I tell him, he will say eat out lor. kekkee
Hi Clovy
Oh yes, I wanted to get that brand too. But it says "manufacturer out of stock" leh. So I wonder if they will carry some when we want to order. Was thinking to put that as priority, if OOS then bo bian order the other one bah. Eyeing on the below, you might wish to consider.
http://www.vitacost.com/Natures-Answer-Sambucus-Kids-Formula
http://www.vitacost.com/Natures-Way-Sambucol-Black-Elderberry-Original-Syrup
Eniale,
Should I peg the exchange rate at 1.45 first? Or you have another rate in mind since you spree more often and is more aware of the rates? Do let us know.
Thanks.

That's a good one for your DH, Linda (linda_thea)!
*eniale* (eniale), I like the Japanese food esp. the sushi rice and Jap curry, the noodles, can say almost all etc. Jap curry so easy to prepare just buy the ready made one from the supermarket. Maybe bee (didibee) can consider that rather than making the sushi which seems to take alot of work..

Jap rice - more sticky hence easier to wrap.
Hi Clovy,
Nature Way also have another one in original flavour. Dunno if you want to try if OOS for the Kids version. Cos the original flavour also meant for both adults and kids. Or if none of us in hurry to get the stuff, can wait a while to see if the stocks are replenished.
Hi eniale
Sure, will peg at 1.5 first.
USA market dropping, hoping the rates will go down fast fast.
Clovy/eniale

Hi eniale
I understand from my gynae tt the IUD Mirena actually slows menstrual flow, even to the extend that some women do not have their menses leh. U might wish to read up more. But then again, side effects are experienced differently by different women. If your HB is not in town often, why not use condoms?

I felt so tiring,somemore I wish everyday to c my daughter.That y I plan to hav a maid here,so my daughter will not leave me anymore.
but I hav nobody to help me supervise my maid.but the maid is from my student place,she will be with me in next year.The maid is from Piliphine,is a kindergarten teacher there.I hav no choice.Do U all think a 14 months kid able to talk if the maid treat her not good?

Hi chua,
Every babies are unique. Some can start mumbling some words at 14mths, some will only start talking at 23mths. So, it really depends on the babies.
What i would suggest is that you do a body check everyday and look out for any signs of anxiety, sudden outbursts etc. It is never going to be easy.

To be frank, i NEVER NEVER trust maids, even those who have been you for a while.
I am firmly sending mine back next year becos she will sometimes do not listen to my instruction. Eg ask her to let my girl try to feed herself, she will still feed her. Tell me it is 'faster'. I know these are minor stuff, but i want my girl to learn to be independant. Also, i want my girl to learn to speak properly. My Indo maid's English is ok, but 'broken' (if you know what i mean).

hi wendy,bee,and grace
My MIL said maid also not reliable,she means ask us to let my daughter in her place till my baby 18 months,then I can put her on childcare centre.but my working time is not flexible,sometimes I and my husband need to work till quite late,so cant fetch her punctuality.
Actually,my down floor got a nanny.but my husband disagree cos felt like uncomfortable.we want hire a maid is because besides od take care my baby,she can help us to do some housework.
Somemore,I also don wish to rely on my mother and MIL.
