Advice for Your Children

Check out the above picture and the phrase. I love the idea!

Hated by Your Own Children?

Friday, April 27th, 2007

I cannot imagine how it feels like. My baby boy hates me? OMG, I might die out of stress.

But then, I found the phrase on the above picture. I gave it some thought. And I discussed it with Naeva.

According to her, the phrase is in a way correct. Sometimes, as a parent, you need to make decisions that your children dislike although it’s for their best.

As a result, your children might say things you don’t like such as:

  • “I hate you.”
  • “It’s not fair.”
  • “I don’t like you!”
  • And many more.

Such words can make you very very sad, although you know they didn’t really mean it. As kids, they copycat what they see from the TV, maybe, or from their friends. They don’t really understand the concept of hatred.

So, don’t overreact. Let them alone for a while. And, when you think they are calm enough, try to talk to them. Explain the situation. And end it with a big big hug.

Thursday 13 - 13 Phrases

Thursday, April 26th, 2007

Here are 13 phrases/words my husband and I use to keep our marriage a beautiful one (which make us happy parents for our kids ;) )

  • Me to him: “Oh honey, you look cute today…” *said this when he wore his very old pajama…he didn’t actually look so cute but since he loved that pajama so much, I wanted to make him happy, a white lie, it was!*
  • Me to him: “Great breakfast!” *Olivia my dear almost said something but I shut her mouth with my hand…it was actually uneatable but hey I didn’t want to stop him from trying all his might to prepare breakfast!*
  • Him to me: “I love you but…please wear that red gown instead, you look more gorgeous in it than this one.” *He said it with his hands holding me…well, ok, he wanted to say that I looked ugly in what I wore but in a way I was happy enough knowing that he paid attention to what I wore.*
  • Me to him: “Hey, guess what, this weekend, you don’t have to do the laundry.” *He was sooo happy. To be honest, I just didn’t want him to ruin my new white shirt!*
  • Him to me: “Dear, you know what…you can hang out with your friends tomorrow night. My mom will take care of the kids.” *I knew there was something…next I found out that he went out with his old buddies that I didn’t really like. He thought if I was happy, I wouldn’t be mad knowing that fact. Well, he was right. :) *
  • Him to me: “Who was the man who called you this morning?” *I hate it when men are being possessive to their wife or lover but frankly speaking, being jealous at once in a while makes you know that you are loved.*
  • Me to him: “Do you love me?” he nodded, “Good. So let’s not have more children.” *Two kids, for me, are enough. Happy to have them. And, I know he has the same idea.*
  • Me to him: “Honey, I’m going out for grocery shopping. I’m taking the kids with me.” *I know he loved it. On weekends, he always enjoys afternoon sleeping and he prefers to do it in peace and quiet. That mean, no kid’s yelling.*
  • Him to me: “I’ve just got this discount voucher…do you want it?” *He’s a man who knows how to please a woman.*
  • Him to me: “I love you, and your family. Especially your mom.” *I’m the closest one to Mom.*
  • Me to him: “Come and kiss me now.” *Every man loves it, I bet.*
  • Me to him: “You’re the greatest, sexiest, nicest man that I’ve ever known in my whole life.” *It’s not a lie, I swear to you.*
  • Him to me: “You’re the sunshine of my life.” *Oh well, he stole that phrase from Stevie Wonder’s song but it sounded soooo good in my ears. Don’t care if he lied or not. I tend to believe that he didn’t and that made me smile.*

Ready to Breastfeed: How to take care of your nipples?

Tuesday, April 24th, 2007

As promised (although delayed for a day), I’ll let you know how to take good care of your nipples to have them stick out (to ease the process of breastfeeding) and to let go the dead skin cell off the surface of your nipples.

Try these steps:

  • Place a small amount of baby oil or olive oil onto your thumb and pointing finger
  • Pinch your nipple with the thumb and pointing finger
  • Make whirl movements in different directions
  • Do the same to the other breast

Remember, do it only after 37th week of pregnancy as these actions might trigger the production of oxytocin, a hormone causing contractions.
