I have a totally opposite set of problems / challenges from the rest of you

I am ok ok with my MIL. Used to be bad, very bad, but has gradually improved. At times only some nosy relatives (dh's side) comment too much but we just ignore.

Hwr, my greatest fear this year is actually returning to my own mother's house.
I have phobia everytime I go back to visit her. She has a request for me that I am unable to fulfill for my own sanity sake (have to leave out the details).
I am so so afraid that she will use my siblings to coerce me during cny. Haiz.

Hi all


Any parents can advise when is the CA starting?
Can we find the exams schedule in the school website?
I can’t login the parents portal cos apparently there’s some issues with DS account.

Thanks!

Hi, not sure if there is a same thread, tried searching but did not find any.


Anyone knows what does the dental services for secondary pupils cover?
Will they do referrals if they find that the child need and is ready for braces, i.e. all adult teeth are out?
Is there any difference in cost whether referred by them or we get it done by pte dentist?

Hi anyone knows what to do if a child has "long-sightedness" according to the optician? Should I see a eye doc to cfm and what will usually be the treatment?


Must I get a referral letter before I can make appointment with SNEC or should I go back to the student health centre?

Also regarding the atropine posts above, does it work for teenagers?

ammonite:

My own mother was like that, right down to the keys. Fortunately now she has found new obsessions.


But it is my own mother... :faint: The guilt trip is definitely there. If I change the lock, she will hate me forever. But things are much better now, and fortunately my hubby doesn't mind.

Hi ammonite, I empathize with you, cos my own mum is the \"problem maker\". I (in fact all of us) dunno how to deal with her, and UNFORTUNATELY, she has not find any new \"hobbies\".

My own mum is somewhat like Vinegar's MIL. But none of us are so patient and accomodating to tolerate her nonsense. Now, she's into faking illness to get our attention. For many years, she has been complaining of multiple ailments. We had bring her to numerous doctors, physicians, therapists etc. One therapists finally told us her condition is not as bad as it looked, she jus wanted attention :slapshead:

In recent years, as she age abit (I say abit cos she's not really that old), she became worse. She is almost expecting us to be at her side 24/7, accompany her, entertain her etc. She is living with my \"healthier\" than her dad & bros yet still not satisfied. The married ones have family and work but she doesn't understand :frustrated: And, she doesn't want to have any social life, she just wants us....

I like the above idea. U can change the password every now and then, and if she asks, u can say its for security measures and u forget to tell her. After a few times of unable to open the lock, prob she may call before she comes?
