Some mothers amaze me

I've recently joined one of the mothers group in Facebook and it amazes me how some mother really rely on what others say rather than going by their own instinct and sometimes sad to say common sense.

If your little one has diarrhea for 7 times already, do you still post online to ask what other moms what you should do? By the time the 2nd "wave" I will probably raise a red flag and be prepared to bring my little one to the clinic/hospital! And by the 3rd one, I will panic and rush out of the house already!

Don't get me wrong, I think all these groups out there is good for connecting all mummies. But sometimes as you get too hooked up and ask every common sense question, then you are "addicted" and not let your mummy instinct tell you what to do!

Infertility taboo

Before I have Andrew, I hated it when people around me kept asking about when is junior coming. Before knowing my infertility problem, I dreaded being asked. After knowing, it just hated it and sometimes despise the person for being insensitive.

Do you ask because you really care or just for the sake of asking? If you know a couple who are married for more than 10 years and still no sign of kid, have you ever consider that the couple is keen in telling you that they are having infertility problem or they never plan to have kids. Because either way, you will have more questions like, "Why?" or "How come?" or even telling you what you should have done.

If you have no infertility problem, you might not feel embarrassed or stressed. But to people who are quietly suffering, we always hated it. I have made it a point for a very long time not to ask- even to my closest friends or my family.
