Re: 終於响8月做咗全職媽媽啦!

andiecyw

Thank you very much for your help! Can I give u a call to see how to collect the receipt?

Anton

Anson's school life is great. But after the long weekend, he wanted to cry if I dropped him in the classroom the last few mornings. But that's ok, after the teacher comes and hold his hand, he would let me go and everyday he is so happy in school. That's really a break for me after he's gone to school cos I was very occupied by the housework recently without PT helper. BTW, I'm now taking a yoga class every thur morning so as to relax myself : ) !

All

I learnt from other topic in 好書分享 how to order books/vcds/dvd from dangdaxx.com. I just tried once. I think it's great! Very low price, large variety and efficient (I made order on wed, they could delivery on Sat!!!). I ordered 'maisy', 'Disney', music and dvd for only ~$1x-$2x each, all originals. The Incredibles dvd only $26, Anson likes it very much. Since I ordered most of them being english speaking vcd/dvd, I think it's really a good price as compared with buying from HK.

Besides, there is a book called 'Magic 123' (translated in simplified Chinese), only $2x. It's about how to handle trouble kids with skills. I haven't started reading that, but other mami's comments are not bad. Anton and Andiecyw, you may think of having one if Ralph and Hoi Lam are difficult to handle.

Re: 終於

Ansonbaby,
You're always welcome to give me a call, since i'll bring Lam Lam out to the public indoor playground every morning at around 8:30a.m. and i'll put the bag aside that i'm afraid i may miss the call. Pls call me before 8:30a.m.

It's great to learn that u're taking yoga class, i think full time mom really need to take a break sometimes. As my dad-in-law is just retired, he was quite depressed and has nothing to do, so he will come to my home w my mom-in-law everyday to visit Lam Lam. :-( :-(
Actually i dislike my dad-in-law cause he's so 大男人,又長氣,always order me to do something even he has nothing to do.

Anyway i get used of the time and escape away to the gym.

As i've to keep fit and could have a break sometimes!!
Both of us are happy cause they think that they're helping me and i could have 2 hours free time everyday!!

Ansonbaby,
Did u buy the 'Magic 123' from dangdaxx.com as well or other place? Really need to find some solution to handle Lam Lam.

Re: 終於

Hi andiecyw

I will call u a day before, probably on next tue or wed. Yeah, can see LamLam very soon

!

Oh, you're such a good 家嫂, you can handle your 大男人,又長氣's dad-in-law ah

! At least now you can have a break and go to the gym. Very good wor!

Yes, the 'Magic 123' is ordered from dangdaxx.com. Very fast and easy. Sometimes can buy somethings that couldn't be bought in HK.

babyso

Yes, they could deliver to some residential address, but they treat 'mid-levels' as remoted area

! I could only use my sister's office address for delivery and take it myself. Luckily last time, most of them are vcd/dvd, it's not that heavy!

babytang

Re: 終於

Sorry guys, long time no login.

Natasha was in hospital again!!!

This time is stays for 5 days!!

Well... she was suffered from low fever since Monday late afternoon, then the fever suddenly raised up from 38 to 40 at around 3pm on Tuesday. Within 15 minutes, she was shivering, a bit vomitting and finally had a severe seizure attack which lasted for over 30minutes for the first episode. She was sort of stablised in the doc's clinic and then rushed in too the hospital by an ambulance, the seizures finally stopped at around 5.30pm and she felt into a very deep and unconcious sleep.
My mother and I was so frighten, it was really an unbearable moment seeing your own child losing concious.

She was discharged from the hospital yesterday and doing fine at the moment, but very skinny and not eating well. She is also suffering from "Middle Ear Infection" therefore still taking some anti-imflammation medicine and need to go to the clinlic for a follow up on Wednesday.

Doc said once she has an experience of this fever seizure, she is very likely to have another one sometime from now on till 5 years old. He asked me to be careful when she has a fever again in the future.

As for the medical insurance, I've totally forgotten to upgrade the package after the previous experience in the hospital, now I'm very afraid that the insurance company will not cover this seizure business.

All,
Please be very careful when all your babies have fever in the future. Statistic shows that 1 in every 20 babies will suffer from this and and 80% of those are genetically predisposed!

Re: 終於

ansonbaby, anton:

The new maid is much much better than the previous one. She cleans all the areas (incl. bookshelves and the books) while I'm in the hospital and she's able to keep the home clean and cook for all 5 of us (incl. my parents) while we are all busy taking care of Tasha.
The best thing is: she doesn't want any holidays, she'd rather stay home and work!
Now, Carl walked the doc every night cos he doesn't want her to have too many chances to talk to other maids.
But, she don't know how to wash clothes. Her english is not that brilliant, probably because I'm not speaking in the S'pore accent. Her mandarin is not too good either.

re: time table
Due to Tasha's incident, I haven't draft the timetable yet. Will do it asap.

Re: 終於

All,

Glad to know all the babies are learning so quickly. I really think being a teacher ourselves and schooling is very important to let babies learn quickly.

Natasha is grounded by the doc for 3 months from going to any playgroups cos he doesn't want her to have any unnessary exposures to viruses and illness at this stage. Therefore she will be staying home or playing with friends only until term starts in August.

I really want her to learn more and learn quickly, but in this case, I would rather she has a good health than a brainy little baby.

Although your dad-in-law he's so 大男人,又長氣 , it seems good that u can have time to do things that u want to do.Right!!!

clic_1221,

Sorry to hear that Tasha is getting sick. I think u must be very tries in the past 5 five days in hopstial.

:-(
Pls, also take good care of yourself.
That's great that your maid is better that before. Hope she can help u a lot la.
For the bad temper of Tasha, I think kids at this age also have that kinds of problem. Even Ralph is same. He also has a very bad temper. I also don't know how to handle. As Tasha is getting sick, i think she must getting worse of her temper. Keep patient la.

Re: 機靈狗
Maybe when i pickup at the book store. I can order it for u.

Ansonbaby,

Want to ask u, when anson was around 15-18 months, did he also had a bad temper? Coz i really don't know how to handle it. The mandarian playgroup teacher she told me i better give some punishment to Ralph coz he is always not coorperate in the class. But the preschool teacher she advised me that i better let Ralph to do what he wants to do. Don't give any punishment to him. Coz i will stop his interest to explore things. So she asked me what kinds of kid u want Ralph to be. Be a good boy listen to me without his own characters. Or let him develop his own characters and more creative.It's really make me feel headache.

Re: 終於

Exactly! This is what I'm struggling too.

I have lots of feedback saying that we should reasonably punish the kid if they are too naughty, but the thing is by doing this may block their tendency to develop their own character and maybe in some case discourage the kid (at least I think this might happen to Tasha if I take this approach).
On the other hand, let them explore freely will help them learn in their own way but at the same time, some parents or even teachers will find them irritating or even uncooperative and may distract other kids. Really don't know what to do too.

You know, I'm slowly realising Natasha knows more that she shows. The other day, I heard her said "bet" from "alphabet" in a pretty good pronouncation; calling her "Bunny" in a very precise way and as well as saying words like "Ah Gong", "please", etc in a very understandable way.
She is just too much of her own character.

If you are free and Tasha is feeling better, maybe we could go for a drink. Otherwise, thanks for ordering the books for me in advance.

Very sorry to hear that Tasha had such serious illness! Really shocked! Did the doctor tell the reasons? How to prevent? I really feel bad to hear that such a little kid needed to suffer from that :cry: ! You must be exhausted after these few days. Take good care! Luckily, you new maid could take care of everything well, you don't need to worry about her at least!

How is Tasha now? Does she eat well? Hope she could get pounds very soon! Give her a big kiss and big hug for me, pls!

Re: 机灵狗

You can always have my set first. I had ordered some vcds and books from dangdaxx, not yet opened. I can order 机灵狗 from dangdaxx next time coz it can arrive in few days. I think if u order from Idxx, you may need to wait for months again.

I believe that dangdaxx is save at the moment coz many of BK mom ordered from there before. And I chose to pay by COD (only pay when goods arrived). So, it should be OK!

re: temper

I think every kid's temper may not be the same. I can share my experience.

As I can recall, Anson's temper was very bad when he was 14-16 mths. At that time, I realised that the maid was not good to him! When I came home from work, he hit his chest and told me '打, 打!' and he always threw things on the floor angrily and without reasons. That's why I installed the video-cam.

Then, after the maid left, my mom helped taking care of Anson for 2 mths (when he was 16-18 mths). Anson was very happy and seldom showed his temper.

Then, when I became a full time mom for few weeks, his got his temper again. I remembered that I also stopped him from doing things, always said Don't......! Don't.........! No,.......! Of course, quite stern! Anson was very 反叛, he would do it again in front of me and look at my response!!! Both Anson and I were not feeling good and had a hard time.

Then, after I talked to my sister, I realised that instead of scolding him, I used another way to stop him from doing something that I 'think' he should not do, like touching the switch of the stove, TV, DVD player..........etc. I would talk to him softly when he did something I didn't want him to do, not being hysteria as before! Like if he touched the stove, I would tell him not to do coz there would be fire, everything will be burnt, he might not see mami and daddy again, fireman would come and arrest him.......didn't care if he understand or not, just tell him the facts and I would give him a kiss after telling him that. It won't be effective right away, he would keep doing that for many times, but at least, I'm not scolding him and soon his temper is not that bad. Now if he was standing in front of the stove, he would tell me that Anson couldn't touch that coz......., repeating what I had told him before. It worked on Anson, don't know if it works on Ralph or not.

Sorry to type this so long! We shall talk again next time when we meet!

Glad that Tasha is feeling better now. The worst has gone and the good things will keep coming, add oil!!!

I've talked with my sister, she told me that 李家仁醫生說有些小孩用了塞肛藥後會有抽筋現象, 所以盡量不要用塞肛藥. instead, he suggest using panado + bath with warm water. 有時真係好矛盾, 唔知應該用那種方法.

Same as Tasha, Andrea was having a bad temper after discharged from hospital. Due to high season of flu, she couldn't go to playgroup or public area, her engergy can't be released. I "run, jump, 單槓 (u can use your thumb to hold her up)", etc with her at home to consume her engergy. This work for Andrea but I was very tire

Re : 機靈狗
I heard from other mom that 機靈狗 in dangdang was "有板權影印板", I'm not sure if it means bad quality. But most of the mommy order via idea instead of DD lor. Pls check carefully before u place order via DD lah

Re : temper
Thanks for sharing with us, it's really useful. I started "punlish" Andrea since she was 1 yr old.

I agree with u that explain to them is necessary. If Andrea wants to explore, I'll let her try, but guide with her, explain to her that : it's dirty, hot, it's easy to broke the machine, etc.

It's the way I learn from 哈佛女孩劉亦婷, let them explore, if it will make their hands dirty, wash them afterwards.

When Andrea did dangerous thing (mostly play with the electricity cord), I will say "dangerous", and bring her standing in front of the door and count to 10.

When she lost temper, I'll do the same and said we both need to calm down for 10 second. So far it works to Andrea. Sometime after she did thing wrong, I needless to say anything, she'll say "no no no", go to the door and count a few second to punlish herself, very interesting
