Re: Any mother is living in USA now - Part ll

Clarab,

It's so cute your daughter gets excited when watching TV. I also play music for my daughter about 30 mins. each morning and let her watch TV when I'm in the shower. Maybe because I'm used to working and having my freedom, I can't wait until she goes to preschool so I have a few hours of personal time to myself each day. Since you don't have Chinese TV, do you rent tapes?

Whalebb,

Did you want to meet up at 2:00pm next Friday? Is the restaurant Curry House?

Natmama,

我好明白你感受, 因為我都係咁, 不過都係幾年, 好快過!! 若果你生多個就5,6 年啫

哈哈, 我住既地方唔近唐人街, 要去渣成成個鐘頭車, 我唔係成日去. 呢度賣亞泰野既舖頭通常都係KOREAN開, 所以有KOREAN帶, 無香港帶租.

whalebb,

洪X豐把聲真係唔錯, 不過佢有少少X線, 你唔好聽咁多...

greentree,

去超市揾唔到sea bass, 最後買咗catfish. 我今日煲第二日粥, 加咗生菜, 一塊魚, 同一D雞, 都好好味, 搞到我成日偷食阿B女既粥! 哈哈! 我係用電飯煲煲粥, 好正架, 好慳力!!

Re: Any mother is living in USA now - Part ll

Hi, everybody.....
I have a good news..Our house is sold..YEAH.. We're very lucky, we sold the house in 3 days and picked the guy who got the loan from Bank of America..
We saved a lot of money ... :mrgreen: ...

jaan,

I've only been here for 2 and a half years , but I grew up in HK, cantonese is my mother language, I'll never forget it, even though my husband is American. And also I've been typing chinese since I got 倉頡 software.

.Honestly, I enjoy typing chinese .
How's your daughter's drama contest ? did you guys have a good time ? did you take some pics ?

Natmama,
I'm gonna get the driving license, so I can see you and whalebb anytime. :mrgreen:
I want my son to have a playmate either, but "無望囉"

..Now I'm thinking about I should go to walk with mini-matt every afternoon.. :mrgreen:

whalebb
你哋就好啦,又有得見面..
我就唔係聽洪生先咁化, 係因為我自己睇到既,又或者唔想別人要求自己咁高 (可能自己愛自己多過別人),所以都唔要求別人同自己既諗法一樣, 咁樣做人會開心好多架.

不過,洪生依家嚟咗LA做節目嗎? 唔知我呢度收唔收到呢,之前舊屋試過,但係就收得唔好,仲要係1430 和 mexican台既混合體tim.. ?-(

greentree:
When is your anniversary? I usually go shopping in NJ's malls, no tax ma :mrgreen: and that's the weekend events for me,my hubby and my son gar la, winter time, nothing much to do anyway. What do you want to buy for your hubby? If it is around our area, 21st century at 86th &5th avenue, will have more selections, driving my home to there is about 8 min.

leohannanhchan:
Don't worry, I had my son only 3 days before my due date and now you still have 10 days before yours la. People usually won't have their babies too early before the due date for the 1st pregnancy, I have dilated 1 cm 3 weeks before I had my son, no sign too and I was bleeding from 8 a.m. and didn't feel any contraction until 5 p.m. on the day when I had my son. So everyone is different, so be patience and walk more now, my mom said it will help with the delivery gar. Take care. :lol:

mrs.yip:
Your baby girl is so big now, she must talk a lot now.
I didn't know"white flower oil" is not good for the pregnancy, thanks for telling me, I will avoid that la.

little fat man:
Congratulations with the green card and the selling of the house! you won't need to eat the bread at all la, hehehe :mrgreen: , you think mini-matt is annoying now just wait till he knows how to walk, that's the real trouble time for you, hehehe ,

Hi Natmama,
I feel for you. I missed my freedom in working too both emotionally and financially.

Hi CA mamas,
I am so jealous that you gals are having gathering. I wishes I could join too. !!

I have never 煲粥 to my BB. I only give them cereal mix with meat and vegi. I guess I am a little too lazy, I should try to 煲粥.

Re: Any mother is living in USA now - Part ll

Junw, Clarab,

I'm happy to know other full time moms feel the same as me (tied down w/ bb). Sometimes I think I'm a bad mom because I feel this way, I know I should try to take advantage that I can stay home with my bb and take care of her myself. I guess I've been working since I graduated and I miss my friends at work. I still remember the times when I get out of work and just go shopping or do my hair/nails. Now, everything revolves around the bb and she comes first in every decision I make. I can't wait until she can communicate back to me so I won't feel so lonely all the time.

Whalebb,

Yes, the place is called Curry House. There is also another Japanese restaurant at the same plaza called furaibo. Were you referring to that one? 2:00pm next Friday is okay with me...happy to finally meet you. Are you bringing both girls?

Little Fat Man,

Congratulations on selling the house so quick...one thing off your mind. Whalebb and I will wait for you to get your license...then we can all go out together. Is Monterey Park/Alhambra far for you? There're many chinese restaurants there. I think it will be far if we go to each other's home....at least an hour w/o traffic.

Clarab,

My friend lives in Las Vegas and she comes down to L.A and rents chinese tapes once a month. She would rent 30 of them (older tapes) and return it on her next trip...maybe you can do that in a nearby chinese city. TVB has some good drama series recently...worth watching ga. Keeps me from going crazy at home by myself. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

練鬼咩!

我都冇耐性, 用番速成咋, 好鬼羨慕人地打中文咁快.
你地就好喇, 係us都可以gathering. 咁又多左節目了, 唔洗咁悶.

小肥佬,
今日下午先比賽呀, 有pic比你睇.
不過今朝一早我又同佢女嘈交, 個衰妹叫佢洗臉唔睬我, 我話唔睬我就唔去睇佢比賽, 佢居然話你唔去咪唔去囉....激到我嘔血. 真係想打暈佢.

Re: Any mother is living in USA now - Part ll

junw,

我B女都係岩岩11個月, 我都係岩岩先煲, 其實都冇所謂, 外國媽咪從來都冇煲粥, D 小朋友都係咁大. 我之前餵GERBER樽裝, 阿B女都食得好開心, 我只不過係想慳D錢先開始煲粥仔!

我住係MD, 都係無人同聲同氣, 又無得約人去街! 不過揾到BK 之後就開心咗, 可以成日上黎講下野, 無咁悶呀!

Natmama,

我而家有返下PART-TIME, 老實講, 返咗

ART-TIME返而更加鐘意留係屋企陪阿女玩, 但係返工都可以算係我既休息時間, 有時講得多BB話都要講返下大人話, 唔係我驚會頂唔順.

嘩, 你朋友咁長途去LA 租帶, 佢真係好鐘意睇電視喎, 佢唔申請DIRECTV? 有無線睇, 比多廿幾蚊.

whalebb,

洪生好返?! 咁都好D, 你就好啦, 有得聽中文電台. 又有中文電視, 我呢到有中文新聞報導, 不過係TAIWAN 新聞同中央台新聞, 悶到嘔電!!

Re: Any mother is living in USA now - Part ll

Natmama,
Sometime I am still thinking if I should go back to work. In fact I need to make my decision soon, as my leave of absense from work is due in March. So, if I decided not to go back to work in March, I will need to quit my job completely. I would like to keep my job but I have nobody taking care of my BB. It might be tough for the one-year old go to daycare, and it is hard to find a responsible nanny. I am still 'hoping' for a solution to happen, but at the back of my mind, I know that I probably will resign.

BTW, are u living close by Monterey Park in SJ? I have been there couple times, there are many good Chinese resturants there.... yumie

Re: Any mother is living in USA now - Part ll

clarab,
My bb are 11 months old too. I used to feed them the Gerber bottle too, but then I found that the bottle with meat in it are having heavy color added. Therefore, I start making the baby food myself by the use of a food processor. I usually just steam the meat and vegi, then put them into the food processor. Then I mixed the pureed meat and vegi into the gerber cereal. My BB love it, especially with the strong taste food like salmon, pork, and spanish.

I am having the DirectTV with the TVB channel too, they have some good series sometimes.

Re: Any mother is living in USA now - Part ll

Nice meeting you...How long have you been here ?
How many kids do you have ? are they twins ?

I'm stay-at-home mom. My husband also suggested me to hire someone taking care of my bb or helpping me, but I rejected it. I don't trust the strangers, I don't know how they treat my baby behind me. it's not worth it to take a risk..

My husband doesn't let me install chinese channel on tv, because he doesn't understand and want me to stick with the tv all the time..

All my friends in HK told me that I should make some congee with minced meat if my baby doesn't like cereal. The problem is I don't know how to make it, and also I don't have any rice at home yet...

Natmama

Thank you ...
you're not a bad mom, you just want to make more $$$$$...nothing's wrong. (actually I feel the same as you, I prefer working)
I talked to my husband on the phone last night , I told him that I wanted to get the drivers license, he said " OK, I teach you , you could drive my van." his VAN ????

...I want a small car ..On the other hand , his brother suggested me that I should take a road test in LA or more chinese area, pass it easier.?-(
I think I have to drive 45 mins - 1 hr to get Monterey Park/Alhambra w/o traffic..

whalebb,

Sure, you can call me anytime...
Recently, Mini-matt's so fussy either, but overall he's a good baby.

jaan,

How old is your girl ? Sometimes the kid makes you mad

but you have no choice.. :mrgreen:

cuttiemommy,

Thanks...

Re: Any mother is living in USA now - Part ll

junw,

I think that is good that you have made your own baby food. I prefer that way indeed. I haven't had a lot of experience to make baby food, that's why I always buy Gerber. Now I am more interested in making my own baby food, I hope baby will like it.

How much you pay for the Directv with chinese channel on it? is it like 60 some dollars?

Little Fat Man,

Your kitchen is new and beautiful, you should take advantage of it by cooking more!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Mini-matt just tried the solid food for a few days, give him more time, he might like it. Congee is a little thick for him, isn't it? Will he be easy to swallow congee? I have no idea!

Re: Any mother is living in USA now - Part ll

Hi Little fat man,
Nice to meet u too. I have been here in the US for about 6 years. I have 2 children, and yes, they are a set of twins boy, at 11-months old.

I don't know how to make congee too. I am lazy to try it because it is time consuming to test on the balance between how much water and rice should put in to get the right texture, and of course, I am lazy to "watch fire". My husband did try it one time but my babies don't like it. It might because they were too young back then. We didn't try again as the cereal is much easier to make, just add water and it is done.

My babies do not like cereal at the first couple times. I just keep trying, and eventually, they like it. Is your baby not like cereal?

How come you don't have rice in your home? Is that because your husband does not like rice? There are couple different brand of American rice in the supermarket, your husband might like the American rice. I am a "rice bucket", I can't survive without rice.

Hi Clarab,
It's good that you are interest in making the baby food yourself too, it is good for your baby.

About the DirectTV with TVB channels, I think it is about $30 per month. I can confirm with my husband when he gets back.
