All sorts of advice kept pouring to the new mommy whole night. Poor thing, who to listen, huh?
"You can't be carrying her all the time la.. you manja her like thaaaaat...". (Any proof to show?)
"You don't think it's superstitious hoh? Must go and get one "fu" blessed from the Kuan Yin and place it under her pillow, then she will only be goody goody hoh". *raised eyebrow*
And many more....
Come on la.. you have one kid makes you an expert? I had 3 and I know what I need to do there was to savor the food served only, not for drowning people with words of know-how and wisdom. And she wasn't even asking for your opinion or advice. But poor girl, she has to be nice and nod and
Every baby has her own characters and personalities. I suppose it's more important for the new parents to understand her during the process of bringing and caring for her, so all these sorts of uninvited comments and advice are not exactly welcomed. Let them learn along the way, can't the people around see that? Eeyer.. I felt geram la, but who the heck I am to comment, huh?
Being a new parent, all the new experience and fuss of handling a baby by herself can be overwhelming. I can still remember that clearly when it all began 8 years ago. I'm thankful I have my mom who unselfishly came to my side to help me out every time I need her till I adapt to the new lifestyle. Not every mom can do that, I hear. Ya I know, I do have a great mom.
As for us "certificate holders, embarking on undergraduate course on child development and upbringing study-ology", we can *cuddle cuddle baby*, *ang ku ku* *wail wail wail* (fast fast hand back to her mommy) "nah, baby's crying, back to you" tee hee.. the joy of it. Those opinionated parents, just shaddap la, for baby's sake.

Sometimes I oso dont understand why those 3-ku-6-poh have so many things to say - tak tanya pun!
queen tulaan,
eh, no la, that night some of these "words of wisdom" came from a young man! I think guys want to jump onto the bandwagon these days la, don't want to feel left out pun. hmm..
Hahaha, can't help it but laugh at the words you use. I've received many of these comments til today. I'm said to be incapable to cope with three and blah blah blah. Well, we can't tape their mouth and ask them not to talk, can we? I'll just keep quiet and follow my own way. After all, mothers know best!
what, jo-n? you not capable? Oh my, if you are, then I should bang my head into the wall. I think you are one of the best moms out there, and people should learn from you!
Yes, you are indeed right, mothers know best. No 2 children are the same.
