[quote=\"janet_lee88\"]My kids are almost 5 years apart...2000 jan and nov 2004.

When younger one arrived, he was full of jealousy...until now, they can still quarrel and fight...but older one is able to reach out to sister sometimes...persuade her to get work done...that's about it.
When it comes to looking after, younger one can do a marvelous job. She is not afraid of blood and looked after gor gor after his operation or teeth extraction.

I'm curious. What do sec 1 boys and P3 girls fight about?

Very sweet of your DD.

Janet, your daughter so kwai!

My boys are 7 years apart. My sec 1 boy and k2 boy still fight over the most trivial stuff.... Eg: Who gets to sleep in my room? Who holds the door open ( trying to train them to be gentlemen and open doors for me )? Whose bag gets to be on seat in the car?
:frustrated:[/quote]Basically who is mummy's real prince lah!

it is amazing and really unexpected...after son's op to extract bone from pelvic to replace the upper jaw (cleft lip), he was limping...each time he needed to pee, he called out to mei mei to walk him to toilet.


sec 1 boy and p3 girl fight over seating arrangement at study table...basically trivial stuff.

[quote=\"KSmom8\"]Hi Ladies


Is anyone using a front load washing machine and is happy / unhappy with it? Please share.

Am in desperate need to replace my 8 kg Brandt front load washing machine, which is not worth repairing. It's only 3 and a half years old! Current repairs cost $3xx and then touch panel also going to 'kaput' so that will cost at least $2xx.

My previous washer was an Electrolux and it served me well for 11 years. Current models are made in Thailand so not sure if still reliable.

HELP. Have to find a reliable front load washer quickly. In my household, we can't live without a washing machine... :?:

I just bought a new LG front load 8kg from courts. The Motor has a warranty for 10 yrs and I bought another 3 yrs warranty from courts, therefore normal spare parts repair will be under the warranty of 5 yrs. main reason that I bought it is not many washer gives 10 years warranty on motor.

The salesman recommend this as it is using inverter direct drive system. http://www.lg.com/sg/washing-machines

Compare to my Brandt which using 2 hours to finish the washing cycle, LGuses only 1 hr and use even lesser water than my Brandt front load.
This is just my experience using LG and Brandt.

Btw, my MIL using Bosch front load and it only lasted 2 yrs. MIL has a habit of washing everyday with 1/4 load.

Thanks for the suggestion!

After shopping around, our preference was an Electrolux \"made in Italy\" model. However, sigh, model was discontinued and just sold out. New models will be launched in end April / May so the available \"made in Thailand\" models are being sold at discount.

A friend's washer repairman also recommended LG. So we settled on an 8 kg \" made in Thailand \" front load. Yes, also bought from courts ( price lower lah ) and after adding 3 years extended warranty, the 8 kg LG still costs less than the 8 kg Electrolux ( also Thai made). Waiting for delivery. Hope we made the right decision. [/quote]So far, I am quite pleased with my LG front load washer. Very quiet and with the extended warranty, I do not have to worry about it in the next 5 yrs.

My first washing machine was front loading Borsch…as well as the dryer.

What I like is the hot water function. After it died, I switched to a top loader as front loader machine is ex. The repair man came from outsourced company…he came super late and was very rude.

[KSmom8]

Someone did suggest I switch to top load washer. Cheaper and if spoil, just change to another.


Can't do that. Have space constraint and dryer to consider.

Anyway, my LG front load arrived and have been using it for a few days. Am pleased with it. :boogie:

Am reducing the detergent cos use less water, and adjusting the use of laundry bags cos they get entangled due to 6 motion wash.
