Do you have similar emotion?

Did a google, and found a good read:-

don't worry. i lose my temper to my son too. but only when he is not listening.

Guess everyone has it.Just need to control at times.

Might help taking something soothing, like chamomile tea. It relaxes! Also magnesium is a good relaxant. Might help.

Same goes to me here. But its all about my daughter. She is 2 y.o now. Jealous and do trouble since our (me n wife) attention is more to her adik (6months).

Angry is good for u to let go, but in proper way. In my case, when she make me 'explode', when i want to take 'action', she just staring at me with her glimmering eye make me 'melt'...

For me the most frustrating moment is do all the preparation for her food then she just spit it out, most heartbreaking moment.

Aww...How old is your baby?

My baby sometimes do the same. But its because his stomach full already with milk.

How about in situation when u bought a toys to them (with your hard earn money) and they make that 'toys' to 'not a toys' anymore in less 24 hours?....

Do you have kids yet? If you have, you will know these teas will not work. Some mere teas cannot cover up an explosive volcano!

The only tea that work wit me is Manly 'Tea'ars...

I bought him toys, he likes the paper wrapper more.

I bought him the toy that can assist him to push and walk, he prefers to use our cheapo stool instead.

I bought him nice table toy, he plays with pail or bowl instead.

I ask him not to chew rubber band, he seems to like it even more.

I ask him to hold my hand while he is learning to walk, but he doesn't want and keep falling down.

He don't understand the word No, but he understands the word 'Kai Kai' (Go out), 'Mum Mum' (Food), 'Tv Tv' (Cartoon).

After recovering from 1 weeks+ sick with no bathing, he now hates bath which he used to like. Bathing him is like bathing ourselves too.

Change diaper, he will not stay still. He may try to crawl away while still having poop poop still uncleaned yet. Normally we have to wrestle with him.

He is only 14 months+ Scold him is like scolding at wall. The difference is he will come back to me even when I am angry and sit next to me. At times give massage / hug me too.

Their manja~ness in to powderful... really heart can melt one.

lol...that is pretty much it.

You just need to train them with things that can be trained. Like making sure they sit down in their chair for the whole meal event or bathing. Things that cannot be trained like playing toys, you just have to let them be. But try to get toys that you can play with them. You have to spend time playing the toys with them or else they will not be interested. At 14 months, try not to let them watch too much TV.

Unfortunately TV is the only way we can keep him sit in the chair while feeding. Without TV he will try to climb down very fast....

Haha ya lor. I also experienced the same. At 14months ++ age, thats normal.

My daughter @ 18months (now is 2 y.o), i bought her a small n medium sized pool and sometime i also join her in that pool


The small 1 cost me less than RM10 and the big 1 around RM25. Both of it i bought at Giant Hypermarket.

Kids are kids ...... they are so clever ......

i always try to maintain my cool, but sometimes they are really very stubborn and they can reason with you and make you go mad with their repetitive questions ..

Not sure want to knock my head on the wall or laugh it off cos they're so smart

Taking care of baby is tough challenging task. I have to wake up every 2.5 - 3 hours to feed him. Some times is quite annoying.

There was once, baby cry and my husband woke up. I was furious and he told me to calm down, baby is our own, must love, must patient, etc.

I knocked his head and told him it was his snoring that made the baby woke up and cry!@ Just when I had just put the baby to sleep, my husband started snoring (he isnt usually like that but only when too tired), some more can get up and speak good words for baby when it was his fault!

Haha!!

Gonna be a father soon. However dealing with nephew already headache, what if dealing with my own upcoming child

Congrats!

Enjoy your couple life while you still can... Sleep more while you still can... hehe

Haha..congratulations.

Well, parents nowadays are more attentive to their children than previous generation. I wonder how many of u can really leave your child there cry till he/she stop by him/herself? Previous generation discipline the child to accommodate them but nowadays, most parents accommodate themselves to their children.

I tried doing that but my wife and my parents and my parents in law will give in very fast... so my plan rosak...
