the first time I learnt how to bathe my newborn baby right after birth was the first day when we came back home.

My mom-in-law taught me to use “black tiger beer” mix with warm water to bath my baby , she said there is a tradition belief that beer will make the baby stronger like a tiger, brave and…[Read more]

I very much agree with you, @shavkat. The more courses for everyday living skills our kids can get in school, the better! I think it just goes along with learning to cook, clean, budget, and care for their health.

@kaka135 My son used to scream blue murder when we bathed him. I would worry that one of the neighbours would call the police because they thought we were in some way abusing him! he has always loved the water but with all of the challenges his autism presents, he also felt insecure in the bath when he was a little boy.

Even today, now that he’s…[Read more]

@peachpurple I agree with you, I think we are often too busy with other stuffs. Though I am with my children all the time, and  I know connection is important, I still think I am not doing enough especially when I am busy with my work or tired.

I actually prefer some bonding time with my children, especially body contact or physical…[Read more]

@shavkat It’s good that you have the experience even before you become a father. I agree with Kyla, I think it has nothing to do with female or even mother, I do agree that we have to be extra careful while taking care of a baby, especially the first few days or first month. I think when we hold and take care of them with love, it will not be as…[Read more]

@sauda I am a mother of 3 children and having a newborn baby now, so yes, I have bathed a baby. I have not bathed or take care of any baby or child before I have my children. It’s good that your mom taught you how to take care of a child.

I have always heard from others, it is so difficult to handle a newborn baby, especially when bathing them. I…[Read more]

@rebecca I’m sure that looking after a young pup has its challenges, and sometimes they may be similar to caring for a baby. But I don’t think that getting up multiple times a night to prevent the puppy messing the carpet is quite the same as caring for a newborn! In some ways, it’s more stressful.

When the time comes, you’ll discover that…[Read more]

@sauda Bathtime is often held to be almost a sacred moment shared between parent and child. I can’t say it was always pleasant with my kids, as pretty much all of them had sensory issues that made being in the water frightening or unpleasant at times. But still, we found our moments 🙂

@shavkat The secret they didn’t teach you in school is…[Read more]

@sauda While it is important to discuss abuse when we talk about punishment, it’s equally important to look at whether any kind of punishment is effective. There is no evidence whatsoever that punishment teaches right from wrong or that it instils values or good habits in children, adults, or even animals. In fact, what punishment tends to do is…[Read more]

@peachpurple Please don’t think that Western kids are any different from Asian kids when it comes to discipline. I have seen lots of tantrums here from kids who were sent to the corner, and lots of parents giving into the kids because they were having a tantrum. We pull our hair out over unruly kids, just as much as you do!

The important thing to…[Read more]

I think a little spanking goes a long way in disciplining a child it will not hurt him in anyway but it will make him or her realize that mummy or daddy are just trying to teach me the right thing it’s not that they hate me or anything. but they will see that what they did was wrong and that is why they were punished. I can say nowadays more and…[Read more]

I seldom argue with my wife, with my children. But for the sake of educational debate, I am ready to confront anybody. When I was studying in the college, I used to witness a debate contest during our college cultural contest. And as I ambitioned to be a debater, I was chosen to be one of the members of the group in our department in the debate…[Read more]

Having a military husband requires a very strong wife to face the responsibility alone.You have to show all your love and care to your husband for his work is risky. His job is an honorable job for the sake of the country of his residence, plus during retirement, retirement money us big especially if an official in the military.

If I can no longer suffice, the accusation, that is the time that I have to exercise my right to express my opinion to defend myself especially is the argument is about debt, love, rivalry, bills at home, foods cooked, cleanliness and laziness.

wow well said I like the direction that you taken with this whole thing about arguments, many times people do not want to own up to their mistakes and that’s where the problem begins. when we say sorry we are usually taking the blame off our shoulders which is good. and I also like the part that you have said that we should always start our…[Read more]

Thanks it has been quite the year! I didn’t realize how hard it was going to be just glad I had a support system to help me through it all once this is done and I feel like since we have made it through this we can make it through anything.

You are indeed a great mommy and wife

Yes, you may have to get used…[Read more]
