He takes school bus when he was 17mths and so far he enjoys it, and it has become a routine for him too. There is a helpful bus assistant. He has some bus mates who he likes to be with.

why don't u just change to mpv then no need to drive 2 cars?i gave up on taxis already. When u wanna take, there's none in sight. Wanna book also difficult. So I told my hb, I rather have a car anytime. It's tough when u wanna lug two kids and trying to get a cab.

Did you try iPhone apps Taxi Bookibg? The response is very fast. I gave up driving, could not take the stress caused by #1 who talks non-stop, asks non-stop, and #2 simply refuses car seat.

Still in bb cot, but I removed the fence since day 1, and put it next to our bed. Easier for me to bf him at night. Now he knows how to come down properly from my bed

MMR vaccine, this sounds scary
MMR contains animal and human fetal components. Specifically, parts of the vaccine are grown in chick embryo cells, fetal bovine (cow) serum, and a cell line developed from an aborted human fetus.

Morning all,
RE: maid...
yesterday, on the way home after picking up my kids from CC...
saw 2 maids with 2 babies(abt 1-1.5yr old) taking a stroll...but they stop to talk to a guy happily (a different race from the babies~so definately not their daddy)...and let him carry one of the baby(a girl)...
just wondering if the employers know abt this...
so do keep a close tab on your maid when they go taking a stroll with the babies

no. Just tried calling but can't get any. Was very frustrated when we tried to get a cab from golden mile back home. It's crazy lugging luggage and 2 kids and all the empty cabs refuse to stop.
Anyway we still have a car. In fact our new car is coming tomorrow.

Min contract is 2yrs, but anytime when you want to stop hiring the maid, has to depend on her existing loan, and if she wants to continue to work, the agency will charge you another agency fee to look for another employee for her. I ended contract with my helper after she worked one year with us. Her case was because no one looked after her children as her mother was very ill, so she had to go back immediately (only 5 days advance notice for me). Every agency has different terms n condition, best to find one which you don't have to pay 1 huge sum to the maid's loan, if not you'll be stuck in chasing the payment from agency if there is any balance.

I tried to take over the car but I personally found it very troublesome. Especially if no carpark lot, and I have to park all the way to storey 4 or 5 in the multi carpark. Have to climb all the way up to take the car with two kids with me. Perhaps that is the disadvantage of new HDB flats? Agree, during peak hours, can be quite frustrating to get taxi or encounter bad attitude of taxi drivers too. Some taxi drivers don't like to take in passengers w kids n stroller

so ya.. many more different kind of operating methods for different families.. heeeee~

it was terrible when the kids were younger esp my gal will scream in her car seat. But after 9 mths of wailing, she's fine now. The two kids will guai guai sit in their car seats. Sometimes my gal will whine but so long as we sing her favourite songs, she will feel better. I rather have car than maid.

chevy. It's tough having twins huh? Pat pat. That's why I say the govt should give free or discounted Coe to parents with young kids. It's financially draining. My hb says we are now in deficit. So need to look for money already. Sigh.

Can't agree more, having a maid is quite stressful especially when it comes to disciplining and teaching the child the correct way, they tend to listen to the child, and gives in to the child easily and most of the time. But of course, I do know some helpers are really very good, will make that extra effort to educate, explain the child if the answer is 'no' to the child

mashy:: smtimes when i was upset n flare my frustrations etc.. my hb got suggest few options for us.
1) withdraw the girls frm CC
2) i quit my job (prolly send helper off too)
3) ... errrh..i cant rmbr wat else.
anyways.. all these other options.. i tink i still prefer me working.. lol~ although im not earning much, so with or without my portion of income doesnt make much difference, but i hv the flexibility n somehow, freedom too. i dun tink i can take it, given my kind of tempermental, to be a SAHM. i salute u all.. SAHM too!
i agree with u also.. rather have car than helper. but boh bian lor. smtimes i oso tink since girls are in cc, she has so much free time at home in the day..... but, to see it frm another point of view, she can keep my dog accompanied too, n bring him to walk in the aftnn too. it's like dat de lor, since we dun hv the 'additional' time n attention to our dog anymore, we hfta 'outsource' n let someone help us do the job.
on the COE, i tink for all families with younger kids.. errrh.. prolly make it work like the subsidies maid levy!?! n hv more park & ride carparks pls. hahaha.

the thing that made me decide to stay home was why we are paying other pp to watch our kids grow up, enjoy our house while we slog outside? Doesn't make sense. Lol.

mashy:: true.. so must try to strike a balance.
of cos not that u go out n slog like shit..end of the day cm back just dive into bed n sleep kind. to me, i dun need to earn big bucks, big bucks usually call for a price of more time n effort. haha. can say that cos i dun hv the qualification n capability.. so im contented to stay at such a lvl, earning juz enuff (although in deficit for certain periods..nvm)... kids can still can live comfortably..clean hse, spend time in evng/wkns, etc. well, evn like for wkns.. i can so easily be frustrated, easily flare up at them. i cant imagine if i was a SAHM n flare everyday..every now n then! makes the r/s even worse. i hv tried to mellow down quite a bit over the years already.. but this is me, aft 30+++ yrs, hw much can i chg? can control, but difficult to chg. haha.
i tink as long as the arrg works for the couple, the kid(s), the families... then things shld make some sense le.
being working f/t, i din tink that i really miss out on my kids' developments much. to me, i dun hfta witness all the very first attempts or achievement.. i prefer to watch the progress. (that me la..my personal take!) i dun tink hvg an outsider, a helper in my hse.. i lost alot of freedom or privacy. of cos, certain tings hfta adjust..withhold..forgo. haha. it's not like as if with a helper at home, i can no longer walk ard the hse naked, etc. haha. i wun do it evn when no one else is at hm. also, i dun really see it as letting someone else enjoy my hse whn im out la. (agn..my personal point of view here.) she has to work - clean my hse, prepare meals, watnot for us oso mah. these ppl, often den not, are 'underpriviledged' ppl who has to come out n work as domestic helpers to earn for their family in hometown or for whatever reason. them, hvg to sacrifies families n friends to cm out n work................ errh.. ok.. actually i decided not to go too much into all these..else will get out of point liao.. bahahaha~
like at certain point.. when my girls were getting quite mobile (stage between crawling-walking)....we reckoned that we need 2 helpers. cos even with my mum n a helper, we might not have enough hands to get hold of too much tings. of cos, expenses were super high, but that was one of the better options we had..importantly, so as not to stress out my mum too much too.
anyways, life is such, with so much challenges and all.... we all juz hfta find ways to work around or through them. hohoho~
but hor.. i still dun understand... why the girls owas hfta behave such when i hfta handle them alone! last evng hb & i picked them frm CC.. then when we were in the car, they were chatting n laughing with eachother. this mrng in the car, they both danced to the beat of the music. why cant they just be 30-50% of hw they behave with daddy ard..for whn it was with me alone!?! not asking much.. 30-50% can liao! sigh! actually them in the car with me alone (driving) is ok.. the big challenge is getting them into their seat. kaoz. they either dun follow on behind me..or ya, juz hfta fight with them to push them into the seats lor. hw to carry 2 todds + 2 bags.. my arms n back is not as strong anymore!

I tink they r used to seeing things in pairs, hence daddy n mummy can't go wo each other wor.. Relax, tink on e bright side they r smart.. They noe when is e time to bully..
Try getting ur hubby to pick them up on his own.. See if they do tat to ur hub oso ornot leh..
Denson only chu pattern wen there r ppl ard.. Wen there is only 1 caregiver, he will b most of e time obeying instructions..

joyful:: hehe. smtimes i oso tink that they like it in pairs. they will sometimes out of the blue call "daddy"..n follow by "mama". smart? or kuku? i noticed too, if call "gerng gerng" (supposed to be gonggong, they still cant pronounce properly), will followed by "popo"! sometimes when they call "nainai"..n will like (ask for) "yeye". kaoz!!!
but hor.. i doubt they will call for me when hb is alone with them lor. ): they dun like me! calling out to me (after "daddy") was to eng xiu me niah! ):
i asked hb before.. when he had to pick them alone (on couple of occassions before).. hw was their reaction/behaviour.... he will like say they oso chud pattern smtimes. but..smhow i feel that he said that to make me feel better niah.
normally in cc, when it's hm gg time, when they see other kids' parents turn up to bring them hm... they will start emo.. n whine for 'daddy'!!! note: they will owas whine for 'daddy'.. n not 'mama'!!!!
smtimes i really hfta 'beg' them to help me out.. to co-operate with me... so that we can hv a happy journey hm etc. but..they juz owas will get on my nerves!!
at least Denson is doing the right ting..when there's oni 1 caregiver, he will be disciplined... n not making the job for the oni caregiver even tougher!!! my girls really something wrong!!!!

joyful:: exactly. smtimes i really wonder where the prob lies. was it me.. or them! there was a period which was ultimate..they totally rejected me. i tink i mentioned here before..we had to go to those medium.. but it's ok now.
to be fair, they will sometimes be niam to me too. i rmbr there was a few occassions, i had to carry one on one hand..n do my biz on the toilet bowl..(haha!) - luckily i got 'train' before..whn i broke my right arm n was on cast for 7mths..to use one hand at the toilet. n smtimes both oso wana carry dun wana let go, i had to carry both, i had to balance on one leg, n use the other to off the tv (remote), off the standing fan.. with my toes - luckily oso i did yoga before, i could still balance ok with one leg! LOL~
i mean.. i tried to ask a few twin mums too.. hw they do it. i tink im a failure!!!! really! definitely, overwhleming attention.. i still can tahan..... but i fail to endure the rejections.
double the joy... double the trouble!

bobo,
i was just thinking , can you ask your maid to help you if you are fetching the girls alone in the evening ? can she meet you somewhere, then you pick her up, then both of you go to school ? so she can help to carry bags or watch out for the other kid when you handle one ...
for me, i dare not bring 2 kids out alone , it's already tough handling them at home. if it's only me, i'll bring 1 kid out. i'm a scaredy cat !!

u r a super woman! I know how difficult it is to cope with 1 kid alone when hb is not around. you have 2 somemore!
Now I have to use treats to bribe my boy to get him into the car seat. At least I dont hv to fight with him now. Maybe you can try also? My boy love fruits, so sometimes I give him cut apple, stawberries, chips, puffs, vit c gummy, mini milo...
My hb will complain about eating in the car but too bad he's not here to police it! haha!!

I've heard alot of working mothers moaned that if they could afford it, they wld rather be a sahm and be with their kids everyday. But i find that even when i'm at home with ovann everyday, i dun have alot of time with him! All my time is spent at doing the housework & cooking for him!!! The only time when i'm really free is in the evening, after feeding him his dinner. But by then, mil is home and he'll be busy running between my room & mil's room to play. Sianz.
