hi May
was reading the thread quietly ... and set me thinking. Why do we go back to the ILs and parentss ... we know why. But to our kids, they may not and it's our responsibility to explain to them clearly ... I'm actually having a very difficult task trying to explain. My own mum, in a very nice way of speaking, is senile. She's actually turning into a weird old lady that I can't reach ... n it's really difficult for me to explain esp to my older boy who's starting to understand things why she's behaving like that ... I do not wish to sound negative towards grandparents, and moreover she's my mum. So, just think of how sometimes one's actions/words may be taken in by the kids. Well, consolation to you, at least your MIL plays with your gal 1 hr when u visit. Mine zero! she'll pop around making certain comments "why so skinny" and making a lot of comparisons to another nephews whom she clearly adores more. I'll get fedup hearing all these from her that I never ever share any news of my kids to her. "Officially", to her, they belong to her family ... just keep quiet. Everyone can tell, esp the kids.
take care.

Ky,
Dun be upset with your mum for her condition. I guess she dun mean what she says now. Dun take her words to heart. Take care.
Bought this from spree. And the daddy could not wait till Xmas to see Aden's excitment. So today he gave up his collection of cars and bringing his pat pat rocket to cc. It is a total breeze to say bye bye to him at cc today.

KY,
Thanks, dun take her words to heart. I try not to bring up negative remarks of my PIL in front of J. These are done without her pressence or while she sleep. Didn't want her to "know" so much.
CL,
Wow.. pat pat! Can see that Aden is very proud of his new toy. J likes this too. Can the characters be taken out of it? She saw me looking at the Handy Manny Toolbox thread, I think u ordered right? Asked me to get. But seems like the shipping is quite ex. Does Aden plays the games at plyahouse disney website? J is hooked on it and wants to play it everyday. |

Under overseas spree, the shipping is crazy. Paid $74.74. But I took over from someone who has given up so paid $100. Too bulky to get pple from US to bring over so decided to buy over. |

If you see the face of Aden, ha ha a bit heartache but it is worth it lor. But of course I have charmaine making a lot of noise. Lucky yday bought a red dress and shiny shoes for her. But she told me next time can buy toy?
May
It depends how which toy Jamie likes. But I think after the first spree by Catz, the rest of the spree organizer call off the spree due to high shipping cost. LE Pat pat rocket at $120.74 and Handy manny based on batch 1 I think $76.12. That one once I get it I will have to keep it and leave for his Xmas if not I have to buy another one. Actually rocket for Xmas, Toolbox for Birthday. Now have to buy another one |

Just like the playhouse I have at home. I wanted to buy he call me siow as usual. Then when he saw how charmaines loves it, he says go ahead. Recently I want to sell it off he told me " But Charmaine loves it so much." So cannot sell lor |

CL - wow! 100 bucks but yes the price of your happy son paid it all! so far the most i paid of C's toys is a car ramp from early learning centre at $80 after a discount. else its about 90+. but lately my FIL brought him to Toy rus cos C has been asking for a $39.95 CARS toolset. in the end, when C reached there, he insisted on a CARS ramp instead that costs $99.90. haa...FIL bo bian bought it for him as xmas gift. hahaa...i told FIL its his mistake to bring him to TOY RUS. tis yr xmas, i decided to buy educational stuffs. so was in borders last week when they had 20% off storewide and bought all my nephews and nieces presents. flashcard, storybook, etc. bought C a book with magnets from the cartoon Harry & his buckets full of dinosaurs. i think he will love it. |

Wow! I think my boy will be crazy for the Le Pat Pat rocket ship!!! Sounds really cool! The spree was from USA? Not sure if my hb will be able to find it when he goes to US next year for a short trip for work. Hahahaha, I think even if buy, will keep from my boy for awhile. Remember the Plan City Road and Rail set? I just took it out last 2 weeks for him to play with. hahahaha, then after playing, will keep back into the box again. |

I was reading your earlier post...

I think she is saying in the context that she have give birth to bb in your HB's family name..
When I had kyler in hospital.. there is this MIL who also Thankyou her DIL stay next bed to me.. saying thank you for giving birth for the family and xinku ni le..
I will feel appreciated to hear that from my ILs tho.
My ILs has never never in expressed or implied ways telling me they are glad I give birth to any of the 3 kids..so I think you are blessed  |

mummies,
Can I ask your opinion about childcare versus just nursery/kindergarten?
Would you say Childcare focuses more on child caring than development?
I know Childcare has development activities etc. but is there less emphasis compare to regular nursery / kindergarten? |

Hi Queen,
I personally think that there is not much less emphasis in childcare as compared to the regular nursery/kindergarten as they still need to equip the children to be ready to attend primary school upon graduation.
In childcare, I would think that they will cover the children's snack times, meal-times, nap times and bath times.
However, it's up to each individual parent's expectations and what they want. |

Hi mommies,
Cookie,
my MIL got a good aircon repair man, but actually he is from Daikin, so I think he only services Daikin aircons, what aircon brand is yours?
Queen,
S is in childcare. INitially our plan was to move her to a regular kindigarten as out thinking is that the regualr kindigarten is more like a school and will expose her to a school environment which she has to get used to eventually. But we changed our mind with no 2 coming, coz the childcare helps with her lunch and etc, so it takes a heavy load off me.
At the same time, we are also reluctant to move her coz her cc is very good. I dun find much difference in the academic standard, actually one good thing about cc is that there are lesser kids, so the attention given is more individual and the teachers can focus their attention more on the kids.
In fact because she only has about 8 classmates in the class, and all of them are progressing well, the teacher is upping the speed and had started getting them ready for N2 work next year, so I find that good. |

What did your gynae say and advice with regards to the polyp? It was your gynae who detected it right? I've heard of friends who has a cyst along side their pregnancy and it was miraculous that she carried her child to full-term. |

Durianlover,
Nice to see u here again. How are your family adjusting over there?
Cheng,
I dun see Little Einstein in local Toy R Us.
Mashy,
My neighbour had polyp when she is pregnant with her 1st girl which is born in Nov 2005. When she is 2mth preg, she successfully removed it with the foetus still growing in th womb. I guess u got to get one gynae that is very experience in this. I heard from her that there is possibility that the polyp will grow together with the foetus and will end up terminating the pregnancy. But they decided to operate and remove it asap. Hence, the baby was safe. Let me know if u need the contact of the gynae for 2nd opinion. The gynae is my ex-gynae that delivered Jamie. Meanwhile, take care. |

Hi mummies,
I'm back! Managed to scroll thru all posts and catch up.
Sleepingdeer,
congratz on Lauren! lovely name and a very lovely baby. can see the resemblance to S.
mashy,
congratz on your pregnancy! I had a cyst when i was having Duncan and my gynae said it's probably due to the pregnancy cos i dun hv history of cysts. anyway, my gynae said as long as the cyst doesn't grow, it should dissolve by itself. True enough, it simply stayed throughout the pregnancy and didn't grow and after i delivered it was gone already.
cookie,
jiayou on bfing! i'm now down to expressing once in morning only. as you know, i'm a loyal user of avent manual. when i express, i will use the other free hand to compress the breast, as in press the sides and the top and bottom etc while expressing. when you press your breast while expressing, you can see more milk shooting out and it empties the breasts better. |

SSF,
I have got lost package by singpost twice. U can ask the sender for help. Need to know the envelope colour and where the sender post the thing. It will be good if the sender is a responsible one that will bug singpost with calls and to find the package. Mine was found once. The other one, the sender refused to help and ended up the $30 worth dress is lost in the mail. |

Ha ha you should ask me to demo for you just now. It was in the car. Move the rocket in the air with handle will have 1 sound, then if you roll on the wheels will produce another song. Press a button at the top got song. Then insert the character into the seat will produce their voice something like that. |

Before I was preg with kae, I went for a detailed check up and the gynae at raffles hospital scan and noticed a polyp. Apparently she wasnt concerned at all just told me if I din get pregnant that cycle can consider to remove it.
I went back to check with my Co doc who is female and has a gynae HB at KKH. She thinks Polyp is very vyer normal and most women had it and will not interfer in anyway.
Anyway ... She refer me to see her HB at KKH and Thank God.. that cycle I was conceived with kaelyn. The Polyp did not affect me in anyway in fact... come to think of it.. I'm not sure if it is still there now! |

thanks for sharing abt the polyp. Will ask my gynae further if there's a need to remove it. I hope it's nothing serious. I read that polyp is like tumour but most of the time it's benign. And since mine is cervical polyp, likely when i've menopause, i'll need to be very diligent with my pap smears coz i would prob have higher risk of cervical cancer.

haha, maybe it might have been pushed off with 3 deliveries.

polyp isn't like cyst actually. Apparently it's like a pc of extra flesh while cyst contains fluid. |

Hope you will be fine. For me after giving birth to Aden, I oso have polyps. But each time I go for annual gynae check, he says it is small so dun have to do anything.
Not sure about condition during pregnancy.
Anyway, just sharing my clock here. Hee hee after neglecting scrapbooking for so long, this week no baking and I done up a clock for my living room which have been requested by hb so long.

Re: Polyps
Good to know that so far the gynaes have felt it's not a big issue.
RE: MIL
Wanna complain a bit here. Yesterday, attended her mother's birthday party. I haven't even confirmed my preg with heartbeat and everything and she's telling the whole world that i'm preg! I'm so pissed with her! She totally doesn't respect my wish for privacy. I told her becoz I respect her as my MIL but she just has to tell the whole world even before my preg is confirmed. |

At least that's after you confirmed the preg right? Mine haven't even confirm she already go and make announcement.
no lah. Of course didn't tell her straight coz all the relatives are ard. Have to give her some face too. But very fed up with her. Already told my hb if anything goes wrong, I'm not going to her family hse for CNY. She can kaki go and explain to everyone. I'm not going to be there and put on a happy face. But of course, i hope my baby is fine then I can truly be happy and go for the CNY visit lah. Just really pissed off with her insensitivity.
And then u know abt her pref for boys right? Then yesteday so 2 faced leh, referred to another relative who had a 2nd granddaughter in a row and said they not having 1mth celebration coz 2nd gal and said gals also good etc etc. So 2 faced. |

No, she said gal also good, her relative don't have to cancel the 1st month celebration just becoz it's a gal. It's as if to say that her relative so 'jong nan qing nv', whereas she's more 'open-minded'. And she was gossiping behind that relative's back. |

polysps
I had a polysps near the fallopian tube opening on just before I conceived Ariene. It could have reduced the chances of conceiving but its hard to tell. On the other hand, 3 years before I had Ariene, I also had polysps and I had them removed at KK but they will just come back. It may or may not have been the cause for my two etopic pregnancies. Till now, nobody can tell me what exactly caused them. So far, don't think I have any polysys in me anymore or at least my last pap smear didn't report any sightings of one. |

i read that if there's some scarring, it could prevent the fertilised egg from implanting properly and it gets stuck in the fallopian tubes. Maybe that's why?

durianlover - nice to hear from you. how are you coping over in sydney? i kinda miss the harbour view and the nice weather when i was there in Sept. C till this day still remember sydney whenever he sees koala bear and kangaroo, he says i like sydney and then he will narrate his experience there. so funny! |

ssf/may,
i opted for reg mail from one of the spree and end up receiving it via normal mail.
When i asked her why sent via normal mail instead of reg mail that i had opted for (already paid).
She told me that she already pmed me that the postage is not enuf...but how can she just send my item out without my confirmation.
And also i did not receive her pm. She could have post it on the thread.
I was upset coz the total of my items cost around $70 plus...but was lucky that i received it.
Till date she had not refund me the balance of the postage after deducted from normal postage. |

Hi mommies,
Mashy,
your MIL should have let you have the privacy to let you decide whether you want to let other people know about it, since you are the mother.
I started getting really tired in my 3rd tri, just wanted L to come out and be done with it! Haha... hang in tehre, I think 2nd tri will be much better...
May,
wah, your MIL sounds like she die die must have a grandson huh? Actually, I really get fed up of people who insist on having boys, whats the problem of having two girls? I feel really blessed that I have two girls, in fact told my hb if we have a 3rd one, I hope its a girl, then 3 sisters will be close! |

Re: Biased In-law
It's ok, I am used to this kind of treatment. My MIL is a very straight-forward person. She will say crude things to attack me almost everytime we goes back. Used to go back every week but now alternate week cos hb start to see how she treat me already. Perhaps she is jealous that my hb is more concerned abt our small family rather than FIL and her. All her children are not close to them as both of them are workaholic even till now. Actually I expected more crude comments from her last sun, so this is still ok. Just keep quiet and let my hb defend. hehe.
SSF,
My encounter for the 2nd time is worse. Cos I had a private PM from another mummy saying that she paid for the same dress and did not receive also. We suspect this mummy is a liar. She did not post out the dress. We are suspicious as there is only ONE dress she posted. How come both of us got the same "results"? Transfer money but did not receive the dress. Only when I post in the forum and ask her, why I haven't receive.. then the other mummy PM me that she also paid for the dress !! From then on, I only join spree that is near my hse, so that I can self-collect. Or only spree that I know that person. |

Hello mummies,
Flo,
Me and HB are thinking of arrangements when #2 arrives. At first we are thinking of letting Isaac continue with Purple Train and put #2 in infant care. But that's additional cost of at least $600 a month. Then we thought maybe send Isaac to Fulltime childcare instead and my MIL can take care of #2. So we checked out Kinderland at Civic Center and didn't really like what we saw...
and we spoke to my parents about it and they are not that keen to have Isaac in childcare, so my mom volunteered to take care of #2, which is fine except that she stays in Jurong West! Anyway, me and HB has decided to see how it goes in the next 6 months or so since I'm due only in Apr and there's maternity leave to clear after that.
We are not keen to hire a maid. |

Yup Aden is at Cherie Hearts but Tan Quee Lan near bugis. Maybe better for damien too. Charmaine will be taken care by my sil as I will arrange for school bus to send her to sil place. She has no sense of urgency so I need to send her to sil who will be strict with her. That is why now I am sourcing for enrichment class for her that she can go around same time with her cousins and free her weekend. But it seems like P1 classes are always Sat. |

Hi mummies
I'm tired tired tired with the 3 kids.. wanna faint already. phew...
Mashy
Dun worry.. you and bb will be fine. dun think too much.
CL
wow the clock very nice! very impressing..
May
like all other mummies has said.. dun let our IL affect you. YOu are the mummy to your kids after all. As long as you and HB is happy dun care about what IL say.
Re: complaint a bit abt MIL
Haizz pls allow me to rant abit here..
MIl has been calling and talking to her friends over the phone and say how vex the kids is and blah blah as if she has been doing a lot for the children.
But the fact is she is NO taking care of them much except for cooking for them.
HB and I shower and feed, helper help in changing their diapers. Nap and nite time I put them to bed. When I'm not pumping I attend to them.
I'm willing to do all these, they are my kids..
but all my MIL does/did right now are mainly go marketing which take up most morning, when she back hide in the kitchen and prepare lunch and dinner, late afternoon watch TV.
I dun even have time to watch TV, the only time I watch a video is when I'm pumping...
and she cannot calm Kacia down.. simply cannot. when kacia cry.. she just pace outside my room when I'm pumping and aiyo aiyo and expect me to stop pumping and attend to bb. I'm so stressed up.
when bb cry always asked if bb wanna eat even if bb just ate not long ago.
It's really frustrating..
Sorry for my ranting...
p.s.: today is last day of my current helper.. she is still scolding her.. for what? just let her leave in peace also cannot.. I really dun understand why, |

my main concern is damien's health as he tends to fall sick easily...we need to monitor him first.
I think i need to go down and have a look at the cc first...either the one at Jalan Jurong Kechil or Cheverons.
i am staying in between this 2 branches.
Charmine is in the morning class?
Ya agreed with you that alot of enrichment classes are always on Sat. I had already signed up chinese (Han Yu Pin Yin) class for him as some of his kindy classmates are attending together.
I am still sourcing for Math tuition for him. I am thinking to place him in Kumon. |

cookie,
oh dear oh dear...your MIL is not helping at all. when is your new helper arriving? It must be really tiring on you cos for us 2kids during weekends already make me faintz. And worse when our #1 is at this terrible twos stage. It irks me too when there is someone at home to help but not helping at all, and worse when they claim they are helping! I guess can't tell MIL off so we just gotta do our best on our own. Kacia needs to carry carry? Can put her beside you while you pump in a rocker and when she cries you can rock her with your free hand (if you have the free hand that is).
Feel free to rant here, we all understand wat its like. |

krissie - at least your Ger wants to sleep. mine simply refuse to. even if he put him after he sleeps, he will still crawl back to our bed in the middle of the night. yest, hb put J on the bed and sleep with him in another room. guess that's the only way out.
cookie - sure pls rant it out here. thats what we are for. i am so afraid of this ILs issue, tats why i insists on staying on our own. i told hb, one hse can only have 1 woman. haha..way before we married, i have already set the ground rules. ur mil is simply not helping at all...she is only creating more issues with the maid. so this is #3 maid? dun get too stress out too..at least ur hb is helping out. so not so bad. just ignore MIl,. imagine a world without her and prove to her that you are independent even without her help. one day she will realise that you are so capable and she has no value add to the family at all. you are doing a good job. so continue to press on. remember you are the gung ho mummy from pasir ris!
Sy - can send me the sticker's link? C bd is coming soon. maybe can use that as a goodies for his classmates.
wenyl - how is the holiday program that E went? does he enjoys it? C dun seem to remember anything from the program. so sad. not sure if those morale stories are more suitable for older kids. when i asked me , he dun seems to remember anything. |

Cookie,
Hang in there! For me, with 2 its already a handful, esp #1 demands lots of attention from me & #2 now also gets jealous & wants attention from me. When is ur new helper coming in? Why not can put K1 in cc earlier? Then u can focus on ur K2 & K3 in the morning. Can start K1 with half day n maybe by the time u go back to work, she will be ok in fullday cc??? I think ur mil is just highlighting to everyone that she badly wants a break. She going for her holiday soon right?
SSF,
E is enjoying his "zoo" class (as wat he & K calls it. heehee). The 1st few days he had separation anxiety & cried when going in to class. Now he happily carry his bag n wave bye bye to me. Phew! So I continued another week with him. I tink they are able to understand some of the stories, like the rabbit n the tortoise. E roughly narrated the story to me in summary only. But he can't really tell me the morale of the story but when I explained it to him last week, he sort of understand it. E likes the teachers there. |

Ger's used to sleeping in his own room. He used to slp on his own, then hb created a bad habit of putting him to slp. So, now, I had to continue.. but, what i do now is to put both to slp together.. so, at least just need to waste 1 pax instead of 2 pax. last time, was hb puts ger to slp, while i put clare to slp. I just spent my 1hr of time to put both to slp.

no probs venting.. that's what we're here for mah.. i can imagine.. like what the rest say. My 2 darlings are already keeping me v busy, not to mention u hv 3. Yes, agree with Wendyl tt u can consider K1 in CC. I find it helps a lot. For us, we'll usually let Ger stay in sch, then like if we're on leave, hb and i can go see show or run errands, etc. |

I think it's a good suggestion by Wenyl for K1 to be placed in pre-nursery so that it won't be as taxing for you and there's always a back-up contingency plan if such things occur. It frees up your time to tend to K2 and K3 respectively.
I can understand that it's not easy to having to keep changing maids, especially when MILs are involved! |

Was reading your bed problems with C. I think just have to keep telling him that he is a big boy le, need to sleep on his own. I guess just have to accompany him in his room till he falls asleep. Leave a night light on in the room so that even if he wakes up in the middle of the night, he can see where he is.
I'm not sure if by locking your room door is going to be of any help....might be "evil" to do that lah. |

Hi mums..
thanks.. yes yes I'm starting kae in jan on full day CC. I think it's better to divert her attention. She is driving me crazy these days with her insecuirty.. always cry without a reason and very clingy. As much as I want to bao bao her.. but sometimes it's really tough to attend to all 3 at the same time.
Wenyl
My MIL gng holiday only after CNY and still dunno when. I will start full day straight.. the cc not near le. by the time I send her and back.. very soon need to pick her up again.
She is usually happy in school so I hope she will be happy too with the new school.
Just pray hard she dun fall sick too often..phew.. |

Hi Cookie,
*Hugz* It is a really tough time for you. Hard to juggle with family, MIL, maid and work. J is crying without reason recently too, perhaps it is a phase bah. I got impatient that I got to talk to her with a cane in the hand. JIA YOU okie ??!! Ask for hb help whenever it is possible.
Mummies,
Can I check if anyone knows of any sales going on for Peg Prego pram ? Or where can I get cheaper Peg Prego pram? |

cookie,
i am facing another set of problem. My sil is giving birth in Mar next year.
I dun think my mum will be able to cope with 3 kids + 1 infant at home although there is a domestic helper at home.
I am thinking to place damien to CC (fulltime) but duno how to tell her.
Apparently damien was already being neglected by her since my #1 nephew (1 yr younger than damien) is born.
I think i will wait for the bb is born than tell her that we had decided to place damien in CC. |

Belinda,
Try looking for a CC first lor. Then when time is ripe, break the news to her. Cos some good school will need to be on waiting list.
Mummies,
Feel like going to Genting for a short trip in Jan. Can I check with u all, can I still travel out of Singapore by coach when I am 28-30 wks preggie? Should be ok right? |

Wow, your mum can open child care centre already. Hahah. So many kids! Last time my grandma also same thing, took care of 6 of my younger cousins with my aunt. But as they got older, became easier coz they started to play together by themselves. I stayed with them for a while too (in my teens then) and had to babysit and play pretend games with them. They seemed to really enjoy the time together and has since been very close to each other. But it's so noisy. Can get deaf under this env. Times flies, now there already in their teens or in uni. |

But they'll grow up close to each other which is a good thing too. All kids fight anyway esp boys. So long as they don't get too violent should be ok and learn to settle their disagreements amicably. |

Toddlers still on milk
Have any of the moms here switched to the Stage 4 milk for 3-7 years? I recently decided to just go ahead and change to the stage 4 milk, so far so good, my boy is taking well. He still loves his milk very much despite having his regular 3 meals with snacks in between. Unlikely he'll stop anytime in the near future. |

Mamachan,
I just switch J to Pediasure. She is still a milk craze. As she will be in childcare, heard that Pediasure had more nutrients and even if she dun eat much in CC, it is enough to supply toddlers with daily necessary intake. At first, we are mixing both kind of milk. She is currently taking Friso Gold 3, got no intention to let her carry on Friso Gold 4. |
