- Thread starter elvis
- Start date
hi all moms. I'm a FTWM stayg in Delta ave. can i join in your discussions? I've a 5 yo boy & he's attending K1 in St. James kindergarten. am thinkg of quiting my job to take a sabbatical. new job that i started 5 mths bk is so busy that i'm never home before 7.30pm. Feel so bad that i've compromised my time with dear son.
hi BL
Do what's your calling. Try it out if your family is financially sound to maintain on 1 income.
I tried for 2 years at home but realised that's not me (can't managed being a full time mom) but would still want to be there for my kids. Now I'm working part time, with money and have time for kids.

hi mommies, HAPPY MOTHERS' Day!
i've been out of touch last few days. But good to catch up on this thread.
i see a few more mommies have joined. welcome, welcome! : )) (hee hee, still haven't had time to practice those cute animations!)
hey i also notice quite a few mommies have 3 kids like me! Also must say a couple of you are pretty young. Its good cos sometimes i get funny looks when i tell people i have 3 kids! Can share what persuaded you to have #3? Me and my DH came from families with 3 kids and so we always planned to have 3.
But its really quite a challenge i feel...i find it really hard to spend enough time with them. I have thought of work part time. But no lobang leh : ((

hi BL you might want to try to persuade your DH. My son is coming to 4 and am now expecting my second after a 4 yrs gap. Why 4 yrs gap cos my DH was like your DH, he wasn't really into having another kid cos work always come first for him. But his mindset has changed last yr cos his younger bro passed away unexpectedly and he felt that he is all alone now with no other siblings and it made him review his priorities in life. I have another friend who is an only child and she felt that way too. It's just her and her mom and she felt most alone when her mum fell sick. It took me yrs and an unexpected unfortunate event to persuade my DH to have one more. Keep trying ya..otherwise be contented with whatever you already have, this is what I told myself before I have my 2nd one.

BL Goh (smurf16),
i have a 7yrs ds and am still trying
everyone will face some form of financially problem for sure, just have to slowly learn to make-do within means. e.g. no holidays, cut-down on eating out or going to the movies or shopping, etc...
it's tough, but indeed like what gingerbelle said, have to look [so] ahead...

hi sc,
i had 2 natural and last one c-section. gyny suggest IUD. she said something abt hormonal changes and un-necessary operations.
hi al mummy,
i also not comfortable with IUD. heard some ppl say dislodge and get pregnant worse, have to abort baby. anyone knows??
single child quite lonely, i hear from my only child friends, and like gingerbelle says, worse when parents fall ill. they got no one else for support, emotionally or financially.

Hi al mommy
Ligation was done when i have my c-section, so it all in one procedure. pain or not diff to say. like i mention, once in a blue moon, will have a bit of pain at the side tats all.
I dun have any hormonal changes, my mens was as per normal.
IUD is quite safe except the trouble is that you need the doc to take out and insert. True sometime it can be dislodge. The other alternative is to insert in your arm, (a small chip?), cant remember wats the name. Besides this, of cos the oral form.
For me, i'm the type to forget to take med so i opt for ligation so that i dun have to worry.

Tks jasmum, for the hand puppet. So sweet of u!! Will definitely remember u shd I hv any more of the Giant stickers. BTW, my sister said u vy young & pretty leh.
Yes, I always thank God for blessing me with tis dd. She is the joy of our family but can be vy cheeky at times. she always try pushing her luck but I never give in to her most of e time...if not siao liao.
Any mummies can give good advices on how to stop dd from throwing things or beat pple with her hand when she is upset. Previously, I will explain 2 her why it is not right & beat her hands whenever she throw or beat my sister. But yesterday I read in a mag that smacking is never gd bcos it will send the wrong message to her tat hitting is OK!! Now I am confuse, to smack or not to smack.....my dd is the hit & run type.
Cheers!!

talking about hitting other kids, my son has been hitting his school mates nearly everyday! sigh. we talk to him, tell him its wrong, we punished him, take away privileges still not working.
I had to harden my heart last week and cane him....so scared to cane cos first time some more....worked for 2 days but looks like he's losing it again. My son has short temper la, so when he gets angry, he will hit the kid that made him angry. Now he's at new school so i think also adjusting to changes.
Anyway, i find it is helpful to work closely with his teacher to work hand in hand in managing this problem.
But its just so stress lor, every parent point finger at my poor boy. Teacher already warn me that next parent teacher session, i be prepared.

BerryMum,
wow must buy kopi for your sis
me... not young leh.. 36yrs next fri
somemore, go market... clothes very "aunty" lor...
i only started using the cane when my son was 4.5yrs old... he was fairly a managable boy all the while.
your gal at 20mths still seems rather young to fully understand the concept of "don't"... i won't use the cane on her but try as much to explain to her that she cannot hit or throw... especially to another person.
you could try to use the supernanny method - time out for 2mins since she's turning 2yrs in a few months.
time out at a lil' corner on a lil' chair with no toys, no distraction area, and she has to stay strictly at that corner.
after 2mins, she has to say sorry and slowly, you explained to her again, why she had had that 2mins time out. enforce this to be carried out by everyone, incl. the maid. slowly, she will only realised that hitting and throwing will get her in trouble, and would change to the positive.
i believe she can, as she is indeed a very bright gal

Hi no name
Actually, slowly work around them depending on their age. I am quite lucky as all mine take afternoon nap when they are young and their nap is as long as 4 hrs. Thus i have plenty of time to do housework. When they grown bigger, i adjust according to theirs habits. Take 1 day at a time and it actually easy. Only when they are sick, then it a real headache.
Now they are all schooling, the main thing is to revise with them their school works which is more tougher than their baby stage. More worries now as have to make sure that they understand the teacher's teaching. Furthermore, with moe change in syllabus 2 yrs ago, tougher to teach and more catching up.
