hi! i hope the recent agruement with xx will not bother our relationship, i really need your support if i come to Canada. My husband now is in Edmonton for business 2 weeks, and he said probably we can move by the end of this year. i have sent a pm to you about some apartment info, please comment if they are ok.
Dear SaharaBB2005,
Sorry for replying you so late. As I said in my previous message, I have decided not to come in again because this "Edmonton" area was created by someone who is not living or has never lived in Edmonton. I can come back to this forum again because someone who knows her identity has been disclosed. I believe she has already gone back to Tuen Mum and is not brave enough to come in here again.
Anyway, I still love to talk to you, ChuChuAunt, Kakamom, Nerissa. This is a true Edmontonian's page from now on. Again, I welcome your hubby who is actually an Edmontonian right now. I hope I can meet with you this year end.
Pls do not mind that I rarely come up to BK to discuss forum because it is too time-consuming. I prefer leaving time to work, take care of my little boy and do housekeeping. If I want to keep in touch with Edmontonian, I prefer talking on the phone or emails. I hate BK now because it becomes ICQ allowing people to tell lies.
Tks for yr PM. I've already replied you with some useful information regarding condo. Do you find them useful?
Do you have any further questions, pls do not hesitate to email me? (NOTE: Through email is better because I don't want to leave a lot of Edmonton information here to avoid someone copying in the future)
Dear Kaka mom, SaharaBB,
Nice to talk to both of you again!
Kaka mom, you are right. Like you, I was so upset too when I realized that I talked to a person who has cheated you and me for long time. Anyone who just gets little information from the website or even people living in elsewhere in Canada like Vancouver, Toronto or Montreal can never know much about Edmonton. Anyway, even though I have been here for only more than one year, I get so familiar the situation in Edmonton.
Maybe, you were away from Edmonton long time ago, you did not know what new development is in Edmonton. I can tell you some here:-
1) Edmonton government is committed to developing Edmonton as fast as possible to compete with other major cities, such as Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary and Montreal.
2) Owing to the dramatic increase in crude oil price, Edmontonian become very rich right now. Unemployment rate is about 4.7% (better than other cities in Canada which is around 7%; even better than HK)
3) Many people who ever lived in other cities are now rushing to Edmonton for more job opportunities.
4) Real estate booms and prices rise almost 10% every year.
4) Edmonton has been extended to a greater area than ever before. The South side grows more rapidly than the West now. West Edmonton Mall is more or less the same as it used to be 10 yrs ago. But the biggest outdoor strip mall in Canada stands on the South Common area of Edmonton where you can shop IKEA, Home Depot, Real Canadian Superstore, Walmart, Esprit, Guess, Tommy Hilfiger, many other fashion outlets, restaurants and everything you need.
Today's Edmonton becomes very busy and crowded than it used to be. With one million people already, we can see traffic congestion during rush hours, especially at the highway to the West end. So the West end is not so convenient today. Rather, the south side becomes more convenient due to a better highway system. That's why all my relatives, friends and my family are living in the South or South West.
As a whole, Edmonton is a good place for living and education. Will you come back here when considering the education for yr daughter? It is not a good idea to stay in HK for next generation. Yr daughter can no longer speak and use English.
My son (19-month-old) could manage to poo (making stool) in the potty yesterday but he still can not pee in the potty.
Saharababy and KaKa mom, as both yr daughters are older than mine. Can you let me know how to train yr daughters to use the potty. Do you still remember (although long time ago)?
Sahara baby, you just tell yr hubby to go to "Safeway" to get the free magazine where you can find a lot of information about buying or renting house/apartment/condo.
sorry for my late reply. my daugther now is facing with the test, so i am busy on taking care of her homeworks and revisions.
thanks for your info about renting house, my husband has got some info and will share with me this week.
regarding the potty trainning, i cannot remember very clearly, because at that time she was taken care by my maid but she finished her contract 2 years ago. but i did remember that she removed her diapers at the day time, and only let her wear a short pant or underwear, so she will feel wet if she VV, and then when she felt uncomfortable, she would ask my maid to go to potty. i remember that she did not need any diaper at the day time around 20 months, you can try but don't push your baby, otherwise he will refuse the potty.
Dear KaKa Mom & Saharababy,
Tks for yr useful tactic for training baby to use potty.
However, I am thinking it may not be working if I do not give my baby boy any diaper during daytime because most of the area in my house is covered with carpet. Once he pees, the carpet will get wet.
The potty I bought from Superstore does not come with any musical device (because it was very cheap). Anyway, I will go to ToyRus these few days to see whether there is any such potty (I think what you can find in HK's ToyRus is same as what we can buy in Edmonton's ToyRus).
Dear Nerissa,
Tks for yr reply. Are yr grandfather fine? I hope he can get well soon. How long will you be staying in Hong Kong?
Fortunately, I get Saharababy, KaKaMom and you understand my feeling. Appreciate!
I think you are the same as me, going to "Edmonton discussion forum" with a purpose of knowing more real Edmontonian rather than just talking something fake in an ICQ.
Regarding the potty, thank you for yr good advice and method. My baby boy could manage to poo one time and pee one time into the potty during this whole week. He was unable to do in the rest of the days (still poo and pee onto the diapers). Do you think he is not old enough to do it (only 19.5 months old)?
BTW, is "training pant" ="ull-up"? I give him "pull-up" since he was 15-month-old but I have no idea on "training pant".
Once you come back to Edmonton, pls send me an email. I look forward to seeing you.
Hi 3rfamily - Though i live in Calgary, will you mind if i share some of my experience. Yes, I did once bought training pants from Superstore when my son started potty training (he is 8 yrs old now), I don't know whether they are them now, but to my experience, it's useless, because he felt very uncomfortable. He started his potty training at 2.5 yrs, so i think you are a bit early because boys are more difficult to train compared with girl. My boy did not like to wear pull-ups either, so at that time, i waste my money of buying those stuff(he alwasys play with the potty i put next to the toilet bowl), and i did't want him to wet my carpet, & hard-wood floor(my kitcher & downstairs washroom), so I let him start, but it took about 2 weeks time. But it was so different when I train my daughter, she is 5 now, she told me by herself that she wants to pee in the toilet like her brother, but ask me why she can't stand & pee like her brother. Hope helps you a little bit, but it's true that if he is not ready, HE IS NOT READY, just relax, & things will be better
Dear Calgary,
I don't mind if you share more experience here. You're most welcome. I think there are many BK moms in Calgary but they don't have "Calgary discussion forum" to chat with each other. Anyway, pls keep more often chatting here since Edmonton and Calgary are the same family in Alberta.
Tks for yr advice. Could you let me know which way you first trained yr boy to pee into the potty, standing up or sitting down? If he gets used to sit down to pee, will he change later by himself to stand up like an adult.
I am not going to force my little boy to use the potty. According to the parenthood books, there is a theory advising us to train kids to use potty as early as possible because once they become older, they will decide their own ways to do things and may not follow yr instruction any more. I don't know whether such theory is true or not. So I wish I could hear more experience from different experienced-moms to prove this theory. I am so lucky to get different views from Nerissa, Saharababy, kakaMom and you.
Thanks for you welcome!! When I trained my son, I let him started to sit to P first, because he is not quite willing to use the potty on the floor, next to the toilet bowl, so I bought him a kids toilet seat, it's also from Superstore, only cost $4.98, only a plain white plastic one (I think boys don't need that fancy ones) to put on top of the adult toilet seat, and put a stool for his little feet. It's okay to let him sit to P, when he was older w/ his penis quite close to the height of the toilet bowl, he just need to tip-top a little bit & P into the toilet bowl, tell him to say bye to his P & flush it. Whenever we went to the mall, I will ask his dad to go to washroom with him, to let him see how grown-ups P. So the problem of not standing is not a problem at all.
I told you something funny, when my son first POO in the potty, he didn't let me clean it, he wanted to keep it there. I think he felt that it was something out from him, he want to treasure it!!!
Yes, the theory is true on my girl, she insisted to stand to P like her brother & refuse to sit like a female, so I let her try by putting her in the bathtub, & after a few times, she gave up & never ask that again.
ull-up"? I give him "pull-up" since he was 15-month-old but I have no idea on "training pant".
