cwc,

u kena conned liao.
not to say im bias…ALL my friends indo maid have some kind of sob story. and the best thg is that their story doesnt match after awhile cos they telling lies mah. they oso forget wat their lies r after too many times.

last time my indo maid will write very sad notes pouring her woes out and leave it all over the hse for me to ‘find’ and read. i almost kena con too!
it shows hw experience she is when comes to lying.

[quote]I take it one day at a time. Certain aspects of housework must let go. Ask for help when really cannot take it. Cook one meal recipe. Let the kids be more independent. Eg, I let my DS (3.5 yo) bathe himself when he wants to. So while he bathes, I will cook and keep an eye on him. My DD1 (6yo) settles bathing by herself. Get my DD1 to entertain DD2.


It also helps that DH is hands-on, MIL cooks dinner 3/4 times a wk and the kids are in kindy for 4hrs.

Once in a while, I get DH to babysit the older kids while I spend some time with my gfrens.[/quote]wah! cant imagine my PUB bills if i let my boy bathe himself.
my hb is Not hands on type..must push then he will move.
my MIL? sigh...her social life is mre busy than a minister.

but i have a maid..very very slow maid..
bb come out sure she cant manage..then my turn to :rant:

if dun chg sch then the travel time is a killer. evday gotta send/pick…

my son takes awhile to warm up oso…when he was in preN,took him almost 1 full term for him to accept the fact tat evday must go sch.

2day my energy level was so low…i really admire those mummies pregnant still gotta work evday. i hope after i deliver will feel better cos gotta entertain 2 instead of only 1 liao.

hw do u guys do it?

im gonna switch sch for my K1 boy. since im not working nw, i intend to mv him to a kindy near my plc. he attends a kindy near my parent's when i was working last time..he is still there in fact.

aw, i gg to visit the new sch next wk...wondering shd i bring my boy along?

[quote]I think better not bring your son along. It might cause confusion if you do not like the school.

I also changed kindy when my DD1 was in K1, I brought her to the new kindy when everything was settled. She's adaptable but even so had to explain to her why we changed the kindy. I talked to her about the new kindy and bring her to view the school when I was sure the school is what I want and before she attend the school.

If you do decide to change kindy, suggest to do it quickly because the child will need some time to get use to the new kindy.

gee..thks. din tot of wat if i dun like the sch..then will make my son confused hor.

i think TMC not tat attentive. tis time round had alot of grievances abt them. i feedback to my gynae, but she oso bo pian.


if not for my gynae,i wld hv chg to another hospital liao.

i rem 1st delivery by c-sect. i was so groggy after the op i dun think i cld hv bf my bb then. cos i was shivering frm the epidural(mre like shaking) til the doc gotta gv me dormicum to make me zz. even then i cldnt zz well.

tatz y im wondering, hw to nurse like tat asap?

thks all mummies for sharing ur experiences. nw i will make alist of q to ask my gynae on my nest visit.

buds,

which hospital is tat? gd svc leh…tat was wat i had in mind. nurses shd chk and confirm with the mummies,not wait for us to enquire cos afterall as 1st time mummies, we oso blur and dun noe wat to expect.

hi all,

any1 can share on hw to buildup milk ss after a c-section?

cos most books only tell u latch on straight after a natural birth..not much mentioned abt after c-section when the mummy will zz frm GA/ weak frm surgery.

is it super impt to latch on immed after delivery? or can wait for awhile? cos the nurse will sure feef bb with FM in the nursery.

Nurses will assist you to position and latch baby on if you had C-Section. But you have to tell them ahead of time. Many C-section mums have done this. Then if you indicate full breastfeeding, they will just continue to bring baby to you every 2hrs and help you with latch until you can handle yourself.

oic, yes..come to think of it, i did not tell the nurse wat i wanted, but they oso nv ask leh..so i assumed they will come ard and ask me when i was mre awake. in the end, then i discovered tat he was given FM wheni was resting. i was till wondering y the nurses nv bring my bb for me to BF and the lactation nurse oso nv come by to show me hw to latch. i was the onewho requested for a demo.

tatz in TMC. is it like tat in the other hospitals? cos me gg deliver in TMC again in aug..i wanna have an idea of wat im entitled to cos i feel really shortchg the 1st round.

in the end i gv up bfg cos no1 to tell me hw to do it properly..

maybe the mummies here can share a timetable of when you latch and pump and the duration of doing both to get a steady ss. really puzzled abt the trick to successful bfg. :?

hi all,

i have a K1 boy and expecting #2 end of aug also boy.

nw feeling guilty towards #1 cos always tired since im preggy and hence no energy to play with him. even if i do bring him out, i gotta sit down most times and let him play by himself. i feel sorry for him and told him so. but he is so sweet, tells me itz ok, he can play alone.

the bond we built with our kids is immeasurable, even tho i do have my
hair tearing moments.

hope to learn mre frm u guys!
