[didi]

kkf,
aiyoh, Dash so sweet

very sayang mommy leh

your love for him not wasted

 

[kkf]

Hello mummies, so sianz at work, hee. never take mc.

Didi, thanks thanks. Yah, was quite touched when he went to the bedroom to find me to give me the card. But that time was scolding my hubby, and in the end he thought I scolded him, so when he was giving the card to me, he cried.

jane n dm, yah, PAP also good lar, me lazy to find. Thinking next year if I really get pregnant, and go on no pay leave, PAP is afforadable to me. haha. So good, ws likes to eat mushrooms really. Dash hates vegetables.

Bloom woodlands to sengkang quite near if you drive.

Me sooo sianzzzzzz

I'm so bored. Shanghai report about1000 over cases of HFMD. So hubby say don't bring Coco to crowded places and postponed the gym class. Then coco caught a flu about 2 weeks back. Now still having on and off runny nose. So now we are all cooped up at home!!

Read from some websites for kids who do not like veggies, can try to disguise the veggies or hide it into other dishes like mix into meat patties.. can try try..

 

[bloom75]

kkf, my collegue said SK got a PAP got its own gym..so u r going for that one? I will be taking public tpt to SK..no car lah... at least u have a june hols to look forward to... no need to go back to school for those holiday classes?

daec, cos man are idiots? Yest my hb also make me angry, he give bb a cup with straw then as usual she wana blow bubbles and he does not let her then she cry for very long. At night, she also cry in the middle of the night then he uses vulgarity on her.

dm, hahaha.. i reject veg till I was an adult

Lili, better be safe than sorry, cos alot of the HFMD in China is the EV71 strain which is very dangerous...

 

[daec]

didi

The latter if I cant find a job again.aaaarghh!!! but hubby say if I dun do it now, wont have chance again..

fairylander
she didnt find it itchy. no fever or other symptoms so I didnt think it was HMFD. my niece and cousin had similar but subsided after while. So just monitor it and observe. ok after nearly 1.5wks. just put zambuk

 

[didi]

Jane,
me just returned from Raffles City

got Robinson's sale, bot pjs for my boys

hb told me that this sunday, we will put the 2 bums bums and the maid at my mil's place then 2 of us will go 'cheong' town, eat buffet and shop shop a bit

a bit worried to put my boy's there, my pils might not be so used to the boys, but hor must learn to let go

 

[didi]

daec,
don't worry, it will work out fine

you will enjoy it

true, got to try it out before you get preggie again, btw, what biz in your hb in ? (if ok to say, otherwise ok

[didi]

fairylander,
hey, go easy tmr, leave somethings for other ladies to shop hor

(kidding)

 

[xbliss]

didi,

first time putting the boys at pil place? i also tried once to leave my boy with my mum cos she expressed interest to care for him after she retire.. really cannot make it cos she hardly see my boy and dun understand his patterns. but all was fine lah.. as babies, if hungry will eat, tired will sleep. except my boy din drink milk at all for 5 hours straight.. heee.. he dun like her feeding style. glad that u and hubby can make time! i also hoping for a day hubby and i can go spa in peace!!!

 

[kkf]

Hi morning mummies.

Me sooo sianz again. haha. everyday like that, really june holiday mood liao leh.

6 months got hand foot mouth, wow, that must be very worrying for your colleague jane.

Isetan got sale ah? never go for those sales. Is it really worth going?

wow thursday already...hope tomorrow comes soon, and next monday is a holiday yeah!

 

[bloom75]

daec..ahaha.they will find it stressful cos in IT, type a command and the pc will react. Now they said 'quit' and the wife still nag so u and ur hb will be working on the same biz..wow... good for bonding but also end up might have alot of conflict... good luck!

kkf, my colleague said its at blk 206....

jane...6 months then HFMD.?? so poor thing!!!!!!

tomorrow bringing bb for jab..tonight must rem to boil barley water for her... if kena fever then sunday canot bring her to tui na course liao...

 

[daec]

didi
I sure hope so. we both in IT.so will focus on stuff like doing E-Shop( anyone interested, tell me ok ? , softwares like student management, E-education ..watever my hubby say. I the worker lah. hubby find customers/ideas then I do heheh.

I also worry if I put nada with new people. only trust my mum and sis's maid. sis maid had to go thru 'training' first as Nada still baby. ard 6+mths dat time.

xbliss
as Nada was baby, so particular with people.miad took care my sis babies so it was more abt getting Nada familiar with her. what my mum did was to let the maid take care though she is ard. she observe then intervene if Nada cry. did this for a few weeks before she confident to leave her alone with maid.

hubby ask me to leave Nada with IL but I not confident. he dun understand mus let her get used to others regularly coz she so young. sometimes leave him with Nada for 1 hr also cannot, she cry cry.what more IL. but somehow he think since its his mum, like magic sure can take care as she is a mother. erhh I dun think so, its also abt Nada baby who can be picky at times. besides not all babies are the same. IL keep raving hubby was a gd/easy baby who takes to anyone. Urmmm Nada can be picky & has her screaming time heheh.

bloom
its gd in the sense we can share tips. he more frontend, me backend. kinda complementary.yeah potential conflicts. I scared in the end, most of the time talk biz or Nada !

 

[neoah]

daec
i felt everything is about trying. at least you got the chance to try it...

re putting baby with not that familiar pple... i do not have that choice really . my mum is the only caregive and she already help me so much...so weekend i will never think of disturbing her...

didi
envy you ler....its not that i do not want to 'put down'..but no one for me to put ler... but now at night at least (during weekend) my lao gong is taking the 'night shift' so. i am having my part of 'break/rest'

kkf/bloom
yes, my colleague is furious because her baby ger just 6months only ler...

 

[didi]

xbliss,
me also worried a bit, but my maid will be there also, at least she know their 'pattern', don't intend to be away for many hours, sure can relax in peace

Jane,
No lah, I am sahm mah, I seldom go out and enjoy

hb was saying since the grandparents always want to volunteer (more of my parents), will alternate to let them 'have fun' with the boys

then we can have a break

 

[daec]

Jane
yeah la sometimes no choice

Mummies
bought when Mars & Venus Collide by John Gray.
abt how men women cope with stress which is diff.
gd ah.

few tips
* men need to feel needed, that reduce their stress
* women need to feel they are not alone. if they feel they can open up and depend on someone, their stress is really reduced.
* when giving men things do, give them projects that have a clear begin and end. routine tasks that they need to remember, dun work so well
* when men go home, can relax but women may not able to relax its wired into their brain must make sure hse/kids ok first before resting
* the lady response to his actions is more impt than anything. eg. appreciate,grateful then he more motivated to do more

 

[didi]

daec,
I so agree with point 4

 

[daec]

didi
my mum get angry with dad/everyone for dat. but then, when c that its due to 'brain structure' - get angry also no use one.

its interesting that the key point for women is
- women must learn to do less, relax and ask for help
- by asking for help in the rite way and showing appreciation men more motivated to do more ! wah

 

[kkf]

so little posts yesterday?

dm, bulk purchase is having crocs bulk, you may want to take a look. Got lots of designs leh. Me so tempted. Bought one more thomas train crocs shoes for dash. waste money.

[daec]

old couples have more reasons to be unhappy and argue, know all the faults,mistakes. if they can overlook that, find the time and mindset to be loving .. wahhhh
