Hi Mummies,
Wanna check with u girls whether any one of u has got Indonesian maids? My maid's passport is gg to expire this Dec. Do we have to help them to renew? When is the latest we need to do it? How to go abt doing it? Ggg to their ambassy to renew? Do they need to go with us? I have no intention to bring her overseas but do I have to renew for her still? In case she became illegal immigrant. Her work permit still valid.

Ken fed up... say he will call her again end of week. If she still attitude, he will cancel her social visit pass. Haha...
XY,
Both your hubby and mil got style! Do you have any back up plans in case both you and hubby need to work late and can't pick Marcus in time?
I've decided to place Dylan in the childcare at Bishan on the 1st Nov onwards while waiting for a vacancy in the Punggol childcare. What do I need to prepare for his 1st day of school? Need any pencil box? Color pencils? Water bottle and etc? I'm totally clueless.

Penny,
The year my sister was born, was exactly deepavali. She was a tan and big baby with huge eyes and long and black eyelashes.
My mum saw and got a shock. Tot how come she gave birth to indian baby. Haha....
Back up plan:
Erm... Ken say : 我们要坚强。靠自己。
If i have to OT, ask Ken fly home to pick Marcus lor. He created this mess.

XY,
Thanks! Shall use your list as guideline. Not sure if mattress is provided. If need to buy my own, shall buy over yours.
Should I expect the CC to call me before 1st Nov to brief me what to bring and etc? No calls from them to date.
Mummies,
Thinking of getting 1-2 sets of PJ for Dylan, any seller to recommend?

Oh.. and milk powder and bottle (for 1 feed) if Dylan is still having milk. Normally, milk is given at 12ish, after bath so that the toddlers can sleep.
I dun have this on my list as Marcus dun drink milk.

Yup... people have been telling me that i save alot of money on FM. Since he refuse FM. But i spend on DHA, colo powder etc. Haha...
On the number of feeds, erm... talk to ur CC lah. Should have a briefing before Dylan's start date. Normally would be a few days before starting CC. Need to buy uniform.
At LV, prior to Marcus joining them, i had to fill up a form indicating his preferences, allergies, habits etc. This is the CC's way of getting to know the kid.

Penny,
Erm... ribena, milo, fresh milk (not much), choc milk, strawberry milk, barley water etc. Anything except FM. He just hates FM.
I have tried soooo many brands. None he like. At most 2 mouthfuls. Or 1/2 cup max!

XY,
If I remember correctly, YWCA gives us 2 weeks trial period whereby we do not need to purchase uniform yet. Shall call them soon to get them to find out about Dylan!
I hope Dylan hates FM too so that I can save alot of money too and also have less hassle bringing FM, bottle, hot water out. Too bad he loves milk....any milk from FM, rice milk, almond milk. As long as the color is white he'll drink!

I hope I don't incur your wrath by saying this, but I think your hubby is not very tactful. His mother took the effort and time to care for his boy and felt treated like a maid. Obviously she must have felt unappreciated. He shouldn't have said she's free to go if she felt this way. It's very hurting.
My bro-in-law knows he's under-paying my mother for taking care of his three very active kids, so he will buy things for my mother on adhoc basis to make my mother feel appreciated. I think that's what we call '会做人'.
By硬碰硬with his own mother, he is in a fix. If he apologises to his mother, she might think that her threat works. Next time she will employ the same tactic; if he refuses to apologise, she won't come back. And if he cancels her social visit pass, it might backfire and worsen the relationship. He should pay his mother a visit and explain his outburst I think.

Rains,
It's a complicated r/s between the two of them. Others is 婆媳不合. For my case, i get along pretty fine with my MIL.

<font color="aa00aa">i do agree some points tat rains posted.
actually ur MIL really took effort to make her trip to Spore to take care of Marcus.
i think most mums or MILs will feel this way. we treated them like a maid or under paid them.
tats why my mum said she will not take care anymore grandchildren from now on. Regine will be her last.
is really not a easy job to take care of kids. tiring for the old folks.
maybe you have a word with your hubby & see how it goes.
well.. i think as a family, there is always no 隔夜仇</font>

Brought Bryan to Roycegym again on his birthday yesterday. Was quite pissed with one patron at Swensens. Bryan was fussy and shouting then this auntie a few table away frm us shouted "shhhhhhh!!!" and gave us that kind of stare look! WTF! This is not a cinema ok! I was on the verge of going up to her and gave her back that "stare"!

everafter,
Can understand how you feel at that point of time as I've got similar experience too a few months ago at Swensen's too! However, Dylan wasn't fussing, he was just super excited and happy, hence he kept screaming, screeching, laughing and chattering. These irritated a guy sitting at the next table and he shot daggers with his eyes at Dylan, covered his ears and requested to change table!

The r/s between them is really complicated. It's not a matter of who dun want to give in or what. Long story, i dun want to explain.
I'm not a saint. But i dare say i have already done and provided within my means. Since MIL is so ready to pack and leave, we can't be begging her to come back.
And no, we will not cancel her social visit pass. That comment was a joke that Ken made to lighten the tension we have at home now with the allocation of duties. Haha...
MIL already took oct full month "pay" lor.
