Stop it Shin, just stop it!

I have a strange habit of "reviewing" myself as a mum against "textbook" standards - sort of like the reviews you get from your boss & subordinates when you're working. I don't even know why I do it cos I always end up stressing myself out and going back to the "whatever works" strategy which makes life MUCH easier ( Read more... )

Don't be too hard on yourself as a mum. It's tough enough being overseas without much family support so do what works best for you as a family. :-) There's so many different parenting methods and whatnots around it's hard to follow them all anyways. I'm also learning to do what is best for me and baby and not what the books or what someone else thinks is best for me and Laetitia.

Thanks , yeah I've learnt that! The thing is, I felt very insecure previously because there's no one ard to tell me if this is right or wrong.. no other babies around to benchmark & see if Josh is growing well and normally. So I depended a lot on books... and thank God I also have good mummy friends to go to for advice!!!

well...i may not know much about motherhood...the dos and donts, the goods and bads, the stress of following the rights and wrongs etc etc.
but being the rebel that i am..one that never quite followed e books...i must say e only book to follow's probably the bible!
haha...but like wat u said...whatever works for u yah?? u're a great man...that's the ONLY reason why Josh is a heck of the kid he is!!! :)

LOP!
J's proud aunt! :)

Yah boy, God really saw me through so much of the last 2 crazy years!!

Thanks for your constant encouragement - FYI, NO ONE knows anything abt motherhood till you see the blue + sign on the stick! Then there's no turning back. ;)
