Originally posted by a_splash:let me share with u one of the many joys i had :
last year i think, my girl was so disappointed and sad that no one informed her that it was my birthday...and it was late in the evening, we were not going anywhere neither was i celebrating (i don't bother to celebrate most of the time)
then we were all going about with our daily biz....she came to me with this angpow...on it written 'Happy Birthday Mummy' and there is a 10 dollar note in it....i was both touched and amused by it....
thats sweet.
hey where was hubby? isnt he supposed to remind kids of your bday? isnt that's what the SO is for -

i love the logic of kids... so innocent.
I am at the stage of "please please please" and "why not" and "i know what about this" when i say no to something.
I know he is too young but sometimes i think he is being cheeky... when he refuses to eat something i say its nice and eat it... he then says "daddy nice?" and gives this i told u it was awful look lol -

Salute you. Brave enough to have three kids. I have my two. Between them, their homework and after school activities, I'm kept plenty busy. Cannot imagine how much busier I'd be with three. *salute!*Originally posted by a_splash:

thanks Jetta
(somehow i just couldn't quote your post or post a new reply here...these few days i just hv prob getting into sgforums' many threads )
well, its that family man of mine that make having three children possible for me....
i m not a very patient person u know... so i doubt i could cope all these on my own....
its really quite a big race of our own after work....picking them up from student cares, go for dinner, then get them to check if homework done...(this student care is not too good in this area) and then many others.....
well when the going gets tough, the tough has to get going.....
