dun get too stressed up....my girl now 2 years old also cannot sleep if didn't see maid....last sunday, my maid went off day...my daughter as usual dun want to sleep cos maid not ard, but she was very tired and keep crying but refuse to sleep....i also feel so helpless.

 

[shorty_gal]

CaraMum,

Are you a wking mummy? I am sure you knw wad's my feeling like for yesterday. Tat's y sometime i really wonder does the child knws who is mummy or not? Then the maid knw that oh, if i am not around the child needs me and not sure they will try anything funny or not! Haiz, so many things to worry being a mummy.

 

[playkeen]

i can understand how u mummies feel...but don't stress yourselves too much....i know we tend to feel guilty or even angry for not having more bonding time with our babies/kids than our maid or caregiver (MIL or mother)...

i'm staying with my in laws and have a maid too

 

[carabb]

yes I'm working, at time I also feel really sad when my daughter prefer the maid to the mum...and my maid also knows that i get upset abt it so sometimes when the maid is naughty she will purposely use my daughter's affection for her to make me feel lousy.

that's why i try my best to spend time with my daughter...but must really watch over the maid cos the maid can teach the child all sorts of things that are not right.

 

[carabb]

emily
thanks....if we all have to work I guess we dun really have a choice who the child bond most strongly with lor.

 

[shorty_gal]

Caramum,

All of us have different sets of worries. Now my son is still young so i am afrid tat the maid is so close to bb and in future he will cling to the maid not me. Weekends i will try to look after him myself weekdays after i reach home pat him to slp. Btw yest i managed to make my son drink milk. May be the maid is also standing beside me so bb think tat is maid feeding him tat's y he drink. Nwae i will try harder...

 

[playkeen]

as long as we spend time with them like during weekday evenings and weekends, they will eventually know who their mother is.

 

[hweehwee]

Jacelyn and Caramum
dun worry too much. baby is young so will normally stick to main caregiver. after they are older, they'll know who their mummy is. just try and spend as much time with them as possible for now.

now my boy is sooooo sticky until i cannot leave him with anyone else if i wanna go out. sigh!

 

[apostles]

Hi ladies,

glad to have found this thread. I am staying around blk 69xx and have a little gal. Can i join u guys in this thread?

 

[playkeen]

blursotong
welcome!

 

[gemini19]

Jacelyn and Caramum

I'm in the same situtation. Having so many problems with my maid also. Now trying to get a replacement maid.

 

[playkeen]

meow and jacelyn
sorry I will be busy with dumpling-making for the next few days....so can't conduct the cake class.

 

[apostles]

Hi Emily.. I am amazed by you. With kids you can still bake and do dumpling.

 

[playkeen]

blursotong
My family like dumplings so i made any effort to do it myself...otherwise, buying from outside will be very expensive esp. during this period of time...afterall it's only once a year.
As for baking, I'm slowing down now.

 

[apostles]

I used to do simple baking but now with a kid... i became very lazy with all the housework.

 

[gemini19]

emily

dumpling, heehee i like leh, esp chilli shrimp one

 

[playkeen]

meow,
did i quote you wrongly....sorry for the mistake

gemini,
r u the one who says coming to the cake demo...signs of me getting old
i usually make nonya dumplings...becos i like the winter melon

 

[meowie]

emily,
its ok, maybe you were busy so type fast lah...

Hey anyone wants to look for the figurines i have on the cake? I found the supplier cos i missing my piglet mah. They're giving me 20% discount for the toy. The toy comes with a playdough and stamper. The figurines are detachable from the stamper. It cost $6.90 per toy, a set has 6 figurines pooh, piglet, eeyore, tigger, rabbit and kanga&roo

 

[m00n]

Am sourcing for playgroup for my boy when he's 18mth. Currently he's coming 15mth.
Any recommendation? Preferably around cck ave 4/5 coz easier for MIL to sent & pick him up.

 

[apostles]

Hi Meow,

[gemini19]

[apostles]

Hi Gemini,

Gemini/playkeen,

I prefer someone's place leh...function room is big but nothing to entertain the kids wor....right?? If someone's place hor, least the kids can play together or what ever lah....if need i can bring paint for the kids to play too

 

[playkeen]

Meow,
There were about 10 kids in my previous BBQ session. They played in the playground while other kids swam in the pool with their parents watching.

 

[playkeen]

CaraMum
Thanks for the info. I intend to go Japan in Dec, mainly to accompany my parents. The last time I went with Chan Bros Travel.

 

[playkeen]

Gemini

Meow

[meowie]

Hwee,
Not yet 1yr old...not lantern festival yet remember

Emily,
Dunno leh cos our kids are below 4yrs for some of us, so must get something to occupy them especially for those less than 2yrs one

hi mommies,
this is my first post in this thread. i'm a mom-to-be who stays at yew tee.
i am trying to look for a good and reliable nanny when i return to work after my maternity leave. any recommendations please? TIA!

 

[meowie]

Hwee,
You forget the photos we took last year already meh? Dunno this year got a lantern gathering or not leh

Emily,
Most of the CCK mums i know their second child is like mine only 1yrs old or below leh...so a function room is quite empty to occupy them unless there's toys. Unless got TV, some will sit there and watch...like my gals keke

Blursotong,
My gal is 3yrs and son is 1yrs

 

[apostles]

Oh hwee your boy is the same as my gal. Mine is 17+ months old.

Meow, the age gap between your kids very good.

Did anyone of you send your kids to the Star Tots Playgroup at blk 685C? I am thinking of putting my girl there when she hits 2 yrs old next year. Have to start registering her in the nearby playgroups as I have realised that most of it are full. Our neighbourhood is a very young one.
