Jedamum, you hit the nail on the head. My DS1 is like that! Replying me with monosyllabic replies. :roll:
Whereas boys only answer their mothers WhatsApp message with monosyllabic replies (my hb included!) :spank:
At least for now, my DS2 is more like me.....管家婆. Hopefully this chatty DS2 stays the same. -

It is interesting to know this kind of 'pattern' ..our pattern is the other way round..dd2 is very playful but somehow more mature for her age..to me like bringing the gap closer..that could be reason for them still able to get closer I think. dd1 though sometimes seems mature but she has a child/playful side that will emerge under less stressful environment like school hol haha so the 2 of them will play together..play what you know..those games that younger one learned from friends aiyo..yes the younger is usually the cartoony one who will bring laughters to family..
Ds1 is 4yrs older than ds2 but since young, his thinking is a few years older than his years. Even his sec sch teacher commented he has a \"fatherly figure\" air to him. :rotflmao:MrsKiasu\" post_id=\"1950486\" time=\"1574986463\" user_id=\"43981:
jedamum, your dc also 4 yrs apart arh..at one stage should be very cute right as you could see one big and one small ..I sometimes fascinated forgetting that the elder one is still a kid lor.. I see and think..why can play till like that arh
I notice school holidays are the time for kids to strengthen their relationship. During school terms,
usually will be busy and younger one will go and look for friends to play with.. and this morning, dh says try not to let dd1 take public transport on own else she thinks want to go out she will go out on her own lor..and last night reminded me to spend more time with kids else in a while more she will not need us as much... see, one hand we hope they be independent but on another, we feel reluctant to let go..
While ds2 is still the baby of the house, who will still sing and dance to our amusement. At times i did feel that because of ds1's alpha character at home, the siblings dynamics is such that ds2 grows to be accomodating and is just contented following his brother's lead since young. And because of that too, ds1 has plenty of day to day decision making and leading since his bro was a baby, traits of a typical firstborn. Ds2 is fearful of both his dad and his bro but the difference is he approaches ds1 readily for help but not his dad. It helps that ds1 takes good care of his bro and covers up for him at times too.
It is funny to see them so different that they fit nicely together. One is too serious and one is too carefree.
Daughters will turn to their mum more when they become mothers. :love: No worries..

Thank you MKS :love:MrsKiasu\" post_id=\"1950484\" time=\"1574985854\" user_id=\"43981:
lc, I saw the Suzuka on this Qxx black fri offer and suddenly it hits me that you asked about it on hair right..ok it has roller brushes to sweep so I guess the some hair will entangle around it but I dont think it will cause it to stop working just that you need to clear it after a while..using it at another place that has mainly dust and it works ok..on hair, based on shorter period trials, looks fine too.

I got my independence due to family conditions in my upper primary..but still like most of us..I trust myself better then than the kids now hehe.
yah , i think i will until abt 19yo - for ds to go NS then by 21 he should be grown adult with own responsibility to himself, family , society - we did tell him that from 21- he is himself, he manage himself - if he dun eat, dun bathe - i am not going to nag cos by then he own himself lor.starlight1968sg\" post_id=\"1950485\" time=\"1574986026\" user_id=\"14025:
Mums tend to meddle not bec we are more KPOs but we care and love more easily.
we should let go . my parents let go of me at abt 21/22yo to find frens, socialise, get married etc but then after married n have kids, my folk helped to look after my first born ( prob not so correct choice)- then my parent start to meddle into our life n parenting style, house chores daily routines... i and dh are just closing our eyes sometimes to maintain peace, harmony & sort of appreciate the help in kids. I really hope some one can tell my parent to respect my (our) privacy , give me personal space etc I hope we dun grow into nosy & difficult in law/ parent as we age gracefully

dd is hurrying me to go out now haha .

your daughter choose IP path (Secondary education), next year ?

Actually, I been quite reluctant to let her go friends house alone but somehow felt difficult to say no as the mom asked me and dd kept saying I want I want..but I told dd next year onwards I would be be stricter in this aspect liao..
I don't want it to turn to habit or think it as something very light issue..yeah for younger one, I refused few times for just dropping kiddo for playdates..I know I may be seen as anti social and gal's circle of friends sure affected but I just feel that I should do that.

inevitably, when students unable to meet up in school compound for group project discussion, they tend to go to classmates' house, discuss how to do project. They find it hard to meet up in school compound, because they have different Cca, on different days. They aslso have different Talent development enrichment programme to attend on different days of the week, etc. -

You’re very blessed yr 2 boys hv healthy bond as bros. Yah, talk abt monosyllabic replies. Still training my young fellow to be more specific & short msgs do not communicate well. He’ll get there soon but ocassionally still Brief comm. He says that’s how his guys chat! :faint: He’s pulled both ways - peers & mum. Thankfully, DH started coaching him too esp when we hv family chtgrp. -

Same gender siblings tend to be closer i feel.

Ds1 though matured, is very stubborn and fixated on certain views and is really not an easy person to get along with, hence some can view it as immaturity. Ds2 though not as matured, is matured enough to understand letting his bro has his way is no big deal. Whenever i offer ds2 to choose something first, he lets his bro have that first choice.
Ya, your younger one also like mine, the one who brings laughter.
Just only, ds2 chased ds1 around with his nerf gun. Now both in the room dunno playing on ds1 laptop or watch YouTube. :love:
