      Brought the two girls out for early brunch & just got back. When we reached Subway, DD1 changed her mind & wanted a bowl of hot noodle soup as she is having a sore throat, so we went to the foodcourt.


      At the foodcourt, DD2 got mad and insisted she wanted to have Subway which I promised them last night before she slept which she was really looking forward! Gave up.

      hahahha...sounds so familiar ... I am the one mama who change mind at times too
      so i will tell kids to tabao n come food court to eat 😜

      When we go out,I will ask both girls to think long and hard what they are going to eat.

      They usually stick with their decisions made during the journey.

        These days the foodcourts allow outside food?

          My family generally don't do that.When we go to NEX,DDs and DH like to have teppanyaki and beef noodles while I can eating anything there except for China food.

          DH slept like a log for the whole day without moving.DD2 tried to put her Chou Chou on his face to try to wake him up for dinner but he did not even move.

          He now then woke up and suggested that we don't cook tonight but eat at the zi char stall downstairs.

            Actually,I asked DH if it is okay for me to use his car to drive the girls to and fro from school if he goes overseas.He thought over it and advised me not to do so as it is not safe.

            Not safe why? Because you're pregnant? Or he doesn't trust your driving? At the moment, you should be fine to drive, but once your tummy gets bigger, it may be better not to drive. I was fortunate I never got really big, so I drove up to my 8th month before my tuny got too close to the steering wheel (I'm short). It's good to be able to drive if you have a car available, but it's also no harm getting your girls to be independent. It will mean that you don't have to factor in their schedules if you're busy, and you will be once the babies arrive.

              I was able to drive the car until one week before I gave birth. Then I stopped driving.

              If you keep to the extreme left lane and drive slowly, it should be fine. But do take note that preggy women anytime can suffer leg cramps! If you are easily fatigued during last trimester, you may just fall asleep when driving under hot sun.

                Why not safe to drive? I drove all the way until time to deliver.


                I travelled overseas quite frequently as well when preggy with DD. Until I was in my last trimester and I stopped not because I was pregnant but cos company clamped down on travelling due to SARS.

                  I forgotten that they do not know the neighbourhood well because they are from Malaysia and could get lost easily or get bullied by strangers.
                  the girls just came to singapore and may not be familar with the environment yet. it's best not to let them be alone in the meantime. you never know who is following them.

                    He thought that it quite dangerous for me to drive since I have leg cramps and get tired easily nowadays,it is best for him to take the car himself.

                    If really have the need,he offered to do whatever was needed to be done with the car be it picking up the girls or I needed a lift from him.Actually,I wanted to train them to take the bus or MRT to and from school as to teach them to be independent.No need for Pop to drive them all the time.

                    Hi,Janet...I do face a problem regarding my girls regarding their safety since you brought it up.

                    Posted the problem in my home thread.

                      If you are having cramps etc, then it's best not to drive for now. Enjoy being drive around!
