hiccup, do take care... especially with the lack of sleep added on with dieting + exercising. Thanks GM. I think with all this my sleep might improve. I am working towards all my *issues*.

I need some inputs please. It seems to have hit an all time low. I have started dieting to lose that last 3 kgs which has been with me since DS2. I am determined to do it ... With lent it shouldn't be difficult :). I need some energetic classes to go with it. I would love to learn a dance. Is there anything that will help me firm my body along with some fun. Gym is not for me! What else can I do? Has anyone gone through this? How did you work on getting your self back?

One tablespoon of virgin coconut oil every day, it's a powerful anti viral and anti bacterial agent. Can't complain about the taste too! That's something new to me! And we use coconut a lot! Thanks!

I'm actually surprised that people find it interesting enough to post on a thread about someone looking at you funny in a shop. Slow news day, I guess. Lol! And you post too ;). Deftly a slow news day! :D It was a n interesting read though NIP. I am still sitting on my hands waiting for the mystery of the 'look of the man in A&E' to be solved. ........ I can't take the suspense any more. <em>edited by hiccup on 23/02/2012</em>

What is echinacea? And where can I find it? Also, primus could you please tell me what probiotic are you using? My DSs seem to catch all viruses too and they are mostly skinny because of it. Thanks!

Do it and you won't regret your decision. Send that CV out! Oh ... I am planning to do the same as you. I read your msg on education. I think there is something called CACHE in Dubai which is a certified course for teachers/teachings assts. You might be interested. edited by hiccup on 22/02/2012 Hmmm, maybe not my msg? I'm going back to work to talk to *adults* not more kids!!! :) LOL! Sorry ... Thought it was yours! Someone was trying for a breakthrough in the education line.

Had a chat with DH and yep that's what he said (while laughing) 'I only say White lies to you'. Right ... I wish he learnt to lie better! I am scared he is treating me like his mom :/: Amyaus .... I was uptight too. I think i have changed a lot but i still have those moments. So guess that *motivates* him to lie?

hiccup, I have nothing to say but I feel sorry for you and your DS. Can you just tell DH about DS feeling and watch his reaction about it? tell him children grow fast and this is the best time he can make good and nice memories with the children, otherwise time does fly and he will be losing his chances to have any memories with them. tell him children do not stay children forever, they become men and women, then he will have no chance to do nice thing with them. tell him his friends won't be taking care of him when got sick or - god forbid - lost his job, tell him Dubai is not gonna stay forever and there will be time to say goodbye to dubai, then he have to leave and start living with his children in home country, then he will understand how many golden opportunity he lost just to create those memories, and he will regret for that lost moments. Take care hiccup xxx I have tried everything from your post .... But it doesn't work on him. Not sure what make he is :/:

So now I am waiting to hear it all from the horse's mouth. I happened to find this out accidentally. Else would have trusted his words 100%. DS never ate the heart shaped cookie he decorated for us that he brought back from school because he wanted to show his dada. If it was me I would have left everything to come see that little gift of his :). But I think some people have different preferences. Irritated and could kill DH. But holding it all back. <em>edited by hiccup on 15/02/2012</em>

why do you ask hiccup ? is this because your husband lied about his flight times ?? maybe he just wanted a day to himself....i don't get why we can't be honest with each other though....why do you need to lie about the price of things ? i think the reason is more significant than the lie itself - WHY are we not able to tell the truth...am not aware that we do it but we surely can't be that saintly lol... some of these are just white lies though - yes you can cook (to spare the other person's feelings) etc You read my post :) ... Deleted it coz I wanted some time to cool off and think rationally. I am ****** off. I don't care if he is not with me for Valentine's. But he could have told me the truth.

I just want to add that no child, as young as the OPs, should EVER be treated like that. EVER You are spot on with that. It is hardly the child's mistake. In this case it is totally the teacher's. She has all the means to inform the parents of the issues and they could have together worked it out. She has no right to treat a child like that .... I am more worried though that the head of the school did not fire her!

I expected that response ;) But don't think there is anything * wrong* with him! Else, I would know. I trust my instinct with that one. His teacher describes him as an above average child. Though He needs to work on making friends is what she said. Was hoping to see posts where mums said my child is the same! :D. That way we could rant together! P.S. I think he is just being a brat LOL <em>edited by hiccup on 11/02/2012</em>

How is your sons speech ? When he plays , what does he like to do? He has a good vocabulary and can talk stories for hours! He was late in talking though (at 2). He likes to play with me, his dad, cousins and a few selected friends. He likes his wii. Given an option over toys and wii ... He would choose wii. He is very possessive about his brother and everything that belongs to him! I think he is just being a regular cancerian :/:

Thanks ladies for your replies and sorry it took me so long to get back! I forgot all about it! I somehow have a feeling it is all to do with his little brother. JoyceB that is a lovely story and I really hope my DS one day turns out like yours. AussiePup I spoke to his doctor who seconded my thought about his brother. My DS sometimes would make a mockery of us when we praise DS2! We do praise him too but may be he needs a little more of our time. Thanks M for the suggestion. I surely would have a look at the book. It might help me understand my DS more. <em>edited by hiccup on 11/02/2012</em>
