2017-09-11When will you visit a gynae when you tested positive?
2017-09-11Hi Parents, I have 3 kids, (2 girls - 9 & 7 years old, 1 boy - 1.5 years old). I have always been that protective mum, obsessive mum & probably extra cautious to my girls. I have always remind them about taking care of themselves and not to mingle too much to boys, except in sch for sch matters but no boys communication after that. Last June, my older girl turns 9 and we thought after so much of observing, she seems to be very independant and someone whom we know is capable of any task. we bought her a mobile phone, those common Samsung model, not any high tech but she is able to communicate through whatsapp, watch youtube etc. All the phones account is under my name so that i could monitor what she watch etc exp of course her whatsapp chat. As a mum and seeing her growing up, i wanted to give her the feeling that this phone is given with trust. A trust that no boys should have her number and a trust that i should not check her phone unneccessarily. It is used as a form of communication between me and the kids at home coz we dont have a house phone. So my girl will update me about the other kids, we video call when i miss them at work, a sort of communication with the helper as well. She has always asked for my permission before using the phone and any friends (only girls allowed) needs her number will have to go through me. Means they will need to message me before i release her number. However, recently, my husband caught her using the phone was late at night. As a dad, he think no twice, and his intention to take the phone is to keep it away from her but to our disbelief, she has been messaging a boy from class with his name kept as "MY BFF". there were messages of "love you", "you wont leave me, right?" "are you mad at me?" etc. Emoticons of flying kisses, people kissing. she tried to defend herself by saying that all her bffs say I love you to each other. But what disturb me was that, she will iniate the message first and if no reply from the other user, she will keep messaging till he reply. she will message things like "are you angry at me?" "why you never reply me?' "what did i do wrong?' etc. sounds similar right to what adults would do to our other half. there was also 1 particular message that caught me when she asked " so is it you and me are boyfriend & girlfriend?' Understand from the chat history that she even left her girlfriends group because this boy doesnt like them or she told him to not friend with them because they hurt her something like that. Fyi, this boy is her classmates. i could not hold my anger and talk and reprimand her about her action and how she has broke my heart and my trust (not sure if its too early to make her understand about trust) We decide to confiscate her phone but i keep emphasizing her about her mistakes and that she lied behind me, she broke my rules and she hurts me. but after a few days, i am not sure if what i did was wrong at the start or is it the sign that i should have start my BGR talks with her. but she is only 9 years old. i dont know how to handle this. At a moment, she was like kind of mad at me for having to take away her phone, but i told her the reason of her actions. things were ok. but will she hate me? What would you do if you were in my shoe? and because of this, i am not able to video call the kids when i miss them or see their pictures when i miss them. but i know i cant give her the phone because my husband will definitely against it hard. but i just dont want my kids to hate me. What should i do?

2017-09-14My 3yo had fever 2 weeks ago and due viral cough. Now he had fever again and it spikes to almost 39 during evening. He has no other symptoms at all. Throat ok. Stomach ok. Lungs ok. Even the gp doesn't know what's wrong. We brought him to a pd at mount a and requested for test. So far results are ok except for the protein c reactive indicator which is high at 51. Normal range is 1 to 10. He's gonna have this same blood test again tmr to check if it drops. In general, his behavior is as per usual except that his appetite dropped. Anyone has this experience before? Are there any test which we have missed out? I suspected celiac disease cus he has eczema and we did a food tolerance test for him at healing resonance but the pd we as wasn't very convinced abt that and he didn't think is celiac but told us if we want to do a test for celiac also can.

2017-09-15When me and my Husband shifted out to our own house, MIL says she wants to shift in with us. We had a room set aside for her. FYI, we used to all stay at my SIL's hse. My MIL's room has her own bed, wardrobe, TV and side table. BUT she doesn't stay with us like what she said. I feel she takes our room for granted. she only comes and stay for a night or 2 every week. The rest of the week she stays at my SIL's house because she is soooooo attached to my SIL's Son. The room like wasted. I could have renovated it as my children's play room and have a sofa bed for her if she comes for a stayover. I have 2 toddlers. My elder one sleeps with hubby n me. Younger one sleeps with my helper. I have plans for my kids to have their own room. How do I hint to her that we need that room? And I dislike the fact that whenever she comes over, she tells my helper everything that is happening at my SIL's place, about her helper cannot do this cannot do that, about how smart my helper is compared to my SIL's helper, about how disgusting my SIL's helper is in always dressing up to try and 'seduce' my SIL's Husband. Eh, this kind of things tell my helper for what!? How do I tell her not to compare helper and stop telling irrelevant stuff to my helper??? I'm upset whenever my MIL pops over. :(

2017-09-16My mum likes to tell lies, say half truth or hide the truth from us. It's nt something serious but i just don like the idea of lying, and do not wish my children to be brought up in such an environment. However, my mum is the caregiver, i have the intention of pulling them out and putting them in child care but feels insecure and worried. I heard and seen too much negative incidents happening in child cares. Furthermore my mum is the kind that favors male over female. My son gets everything and anything he wants while my daughter nt only being neglected but also gt compared with son saying she is nt as gd as my son in every ways. Eg"ur bro is more lovable than u, he is cleverer than u, everyone likes him over u(daughter)" No1 20mth No2 4mth No3 on the way What will ur do?
