those days children not as advance as nowadays, those days we seem like dumber, father cane mother cane, one way communication is ok. Nowadays children kenot edi, I think all evolved

Congratulations! Nephew and own children is different la.
When you get your own, you will feel the difference.


Yes, nowadays the world spin more advance already, more loving and more quality time with family and etc.
Unlike the past where family is large and parents had to work hard to feed 5 - 10 mouths.
Today family come in smaller number but higher quality love and education.


Not so good, isnt it? I think if keep crying the tummy will masuk angin?

If real cry then not good la... that boy ah, fake cry and crocodile tears wan... put in, immediately shout, scream and like cry. Then if take him out, immediately quiet and can give that cunning smile one.

But of course at times, he can really cry in there la, and that I will rescue him out also, but if I see him grumbling and fake cry, my style is ignore him... then he will quiet down after few minutes.

But then parents/inlaw all cannot tahan, see him fake cry (even knowing he is pretending)

Now that you mentioned it, my boy also same. Fake cry at 1 month old. He cry but no tears wan. Just screaming away!!

Newborns don't shed tears because their tear ducts haven't fully formed

I see. Thanks for sharing!

My daughter is now 1 year, 19 days old. Let's just say I'm lucky so far. I don't think I will latch it out on my kid as my father would unto me last time when I was just a kid. Anyway, all I can say is so far so good.

so small and young already u cannot tahan..
wait till you get to the teenage years!

I think the monster in them is released when they start learning how to walk. That is when they will grab everything, upside down your bag, etc

Mine when he is b4 walking mode is so much easier to take care...

Mine just turned into a walking bot. I need to put everything possible on a new unreachable height. Thanks for reminding me.

Regards, Joey

hahahhaa.....i really love this one! Well said! VERY TRUE!
My dotter is turning 10 months. Everyone in the family says she looks and BEHAVES like a boy!!!
Extremely notti. Doesn't like people (including me) to hold her hand, wipe her face, change her diapers. Non-stop moving around, twist, turn, hands always want to grab stuffs, mouth always want to lick stuffs, leg always want to kick stuffs....
She don't listen when I say NO to her, but she listens when I ask her if she wants walk-walk.

Sometimes she can really drive me up the wall. But when she do her jiggy dance for me or kisses me at my request.....my heart melted away too.....
The power of the little ones eh?

I read somewhere we shud not always say the word No to our kids ........ hmmm ...

HAH! Wait until they start to talk. My boy will be 2 this Feb, suddenly he's a motor mouth. The other night, I was vacuuming the room and he was babbling away at the top of his lungs. Suddenly, when I off the vacuum, it was silence all around. Turns out he was fast asleep. Trust me, with that one, sleeping is probably the only time he'll shut his mouth.

isit?
my daughter will cry louder if i say no

LOL

Maybe Im one of the 'rare' species that you mentioned...
I do CANE my 1 yr old boy... sometimes he likes to bite my wife, so I just bite him back HARD...

You need them to obey/respect you in some manner... at least thats what I think...

I cane, I shout, I coax, I advice, I explain ... all tried and tested .. sometimes work sometimes doesnt work ..... lolz

when i loose my temper, my boy will get a smack or two from me.. nothing more.. and it stings but it wont bruise him.. but lately i've changed.. and i hope its the real deal.. not a phase or anything..

one time i read that small children thinks their parents are the best thing in the world.. even when you 'whack' them how hard on a day, the next day they will smile at you with full joyousness when they welcome you home from work.. that sticks to me till today but i cant help it sum times i still loose my temper..

then a few days ago i was watching this stand up comedy making jokes about us as parents which is ok to beat our own child but we would end up in jail if we did it to anyone else.. and the irony? the kid is small and defenseless and we are allowed to beat them when they spill stuff while if we beat up a thief, we could land in jail for taking the law into our own hands? food for thought for me...

so just sharing my 2 cents here..

and when the next time you are about to blow, think about the smile u are going to get from your kid tomorrow when u get back home.. i hope it cools you down like i do..

father of 2

a good father you are

although still don't have kids,only gf only,but always love kids.cant wait to have my own.

not using the word 'no' is one of the many different methods to bring up a child. Canning is also another method to bring up a child. You apply the method that you think suits you. Like me, I uses a balance between canning and saying 'no" and rewarding and so on.

I do play with my kids and they play with me. But when I am angry with them, I say "no" and they will know. And when it still does not work, comes the cane.

I do not have the patience of the western way in which no canning. Or don't say 'no'. That is just not my style.

Use whichever method that suits you and your kids.
