School or no school???

Help!!! Parents, I really need your advice. My husband and I are both self-employed, and we’ve been taking care of our 2-year-old full-time on our own. We actually stepped back from our business more than 2 years ago, even before our baby was born, so our income has been declining. Now we’re at a point where we need to decide whether to send our child to school or continue caring for her ourselves. This has been causing a lot of disagreements and arguments between us almost every other day, and I feel it’s becoming unhealthy for our relationship. My husband is strongly against the idea of sending our baby girl to school, but I can see that he often feels anxious and loses his temper when things get tough with her. Tbh, he's really very helpful and hands on when coping with our girl. I’m feeling really conflicted and unsure what to do. What would you do in my situation?

200% school. I am a SAHM and only enrolled my child at 2.5yo. I feel that she really learnt fast when in school probably due to her peers as well. At home, I can only do/teach that much (got to admit I’m not the most patient mother). How about middle point? Let your LO try out school for a few months and see her development/acceptance. If really cannot, then withdraw. Let her explore making friends and all the learning fun that you guys usually don’t do at home with her. Want her to grow, really have to let go a little so she can soar. Also, when she’s in school, you guys can have a breather to enjoy/ take a break/go back to your business. Hope things works out for you!

Teething toddler

My son's canines are currently cutting through the top gum and I can see bottom ones making an appearance soon. He's having meltdowns everyday. He has been having fever for five days. Sometimes teething gel doesn't work. How do I get through this 😭

Take some meds for the fever / see doctor? Give your son those frozen teething toys. they work very well with my girl

Overwhelmed Mother

Mummies, do you reprimand or even get irritated when your LO just meltdown or threw temper over very minor things (eg: reluctant to leave the playground)? LO will either meltdown, throw things or scream. Thats when I will lose my cool and raised my voice. Feel guilty after that. How do you deal with your own emotion(temper)?

I'm a preschool teacher yet I lose my cool with my baby. Definitely tap out and get husband to tap in. When he feels overwhelmed then swop. Sometimes it's tough, but we need to stop and remember that they are experiencing big emotions in such little bodies.

Falling sick every month

Hi mummies, does your LO tends to fall sick every mth? Mine falls sick every mth ever since he started attending IFC... usually it is always the runny nose and cough (resulted in sensitive airways). Is it normal to fall sick every mth at Toddlers' class? LO is 21mth now. Brought him to two PDs and both said is normal. Then again I dont feel good when LO had to consume antibiotics and those flu medications every month. Probiotics, airtumtec are given everyday. Helps.

Same for my LO! My LO is currently 18.5 months old now. Fell sick every month despite with airtumtec given daily. The doctors told me it’s normal as well. It’s like my LO has just completed one course of antibiotics. Antibiotics are given again next 2 weeks because sick again 🫠

Heguru or Shichida?

Hi Mummies, I'm thinking of sending my kiddo to one of that. Does anyone have a review?

my eldest (now 5) went for shichida from 6/8mnths to 3 years old while my second (now 1.7) goes for heguru since 6/8 months (cos the shichida centre near my place moved and was centralised at toa payoh which is too far for me). I attended both with my kids and I prefer shichida over heguru - for the only reason that shichida has a table and chairs concept whereas heguru doesn't (felt it helped my kid ease into traditional schooling easier). But the activities are pretty much the same - one needs to follow up with the kids (brain training at home using flash cards etc) to see any effect. ultimately depends on your preference ...

Hi mummies, I'm sure we're all now going through the toddler phase. Tantrums and meltdowns on the daily. You feel like pulling your hair out but the smiles and hugs from them make up for it. We're all in this together, the road is long but we'll get there!! You can do it mummies 🩷🩷🩷

Jia you mommy! (From June 2024 birth club) ❤️❤️❤️

Full body muscle pain during Week 17

My 1.5 little boy just went through teething and needs alot of attention from me. Which actually made me quite emotional and mad, needing to carry more than usual. Not sure is it because of this, my body muscles suddenly became very very painful from head to toe, including my womb area. Went to hospital to check and doctor analyse that most probably is a viral infection coming but couldnt confirm. Scan baby and baby is doing fine. They only provide me panodol to ease the pain. Husband and friend research and says most probably is hormones change. But the aches and pains is pretty exaggerating to be hormones change I feel. Anyone experience similar ones before? Don't mind sharing?
