Tweety here will help look after chicken little's brood!

Yes! forever the efficient one who knows what to do. :hugs:

For me, I would not bring my DC along. Usually inform DH first. If he can take care , better still. Else put @ my parents' place. Just feel not so good to let the young ones see mummy's fren crying. That's juz me. [/quote]I agree that is a good approach. Now my dd is not so matured yet and can be oblivious type if I give her a book she loves to read....you never hear a sound from her.

Base on this, we should try to be aware of the people around us whether they're distress or in depression so that we can lend a small helping hand. Maybe just by listening is more than enough for some.

Yes very true. I know a distress call when I hear one and I will drop everything and go....for my friends.

Hi, dear, because u mentioned that in blue.
Just teasing u when I asked.

I am afraid the thought of getting rid of the exasperating toddler situation has been so strong for me many many times over the last 18yrs since I've started being a parent with my 1st child that I can totally understand.

As such, I can never say it's \"wrong\", nor it's \"right\".

Most just do not understand.

I hope you're fine with your kid now. Sorry, I don't know how to console you.
But I do feel the pain in your words.

To all who feels that life has been intolerable or unjust, never ever take away the life of the little one.
I know, I have ever \"entertained\" thoughts of suicide but never ever get the kids involved. You brought them into this world, they deserve to find a better life than you next time in the future, DO NOT take this CHANCE away from them.
Whatever sadness or unhappiness has happened, had happened
It is not their fault....

Then who will take care of the toddler otherwise?

I feel that it is not our place to judge.

Nice. And wise - if I can add. I had reached that point before too, so I know how it was like. And like Phankao had pointed out - there may not be anyone who can take care of my child. So I might as well bring him along...

退一步, 海闊天空 .....

我就是退了一步，所以才没上报。

Like I said earlier, I had been there. To this day, I believe I must have been far away from it. To be able to see it through. To be able to stand up and share (it is not easy. Not everyone can talk about it when they are in it). To not feel ashamed/comfortable about it. But. But I can’t say I won’t be back there.


There was a night when I snapped. Or almost snapped. I was sitting on the parapet, outside the balcony. I lived on 22nd floor. Drop down, sure die. I held on to my sleeping infant and enjoyed the breeze. I wondered if I should call somebody. Maybe that somebody might ask me don’t jump? Eventually, I decided not to call anyone. I didn’t want to scare my siblings out of their bed (it was mid night). I didn’t want my parents to suffer heart attack. I didn’t want to bother my friends. Most of all, I didn’t want to tell anyone.

I couldn’t remember how long I was sitting outside. My infant wiggled a little, probably due to cold. he looked so cute. Then he sneezed.

I believed his sneeze "woke me up" and brought me back into the house. He cold mah… Mother instinct is to shield baby from cold.

Over the next few days, I could not function well. I kept wanting to "sit outside" again. But I didn’t and never have seated there till now. Funny, I think it was my child who "saved" me.

Sorry to hear about your experience. Luckily it was a cold night and your baby sneezed. :hugs:
