Pondering over childcare issues @ Jadelle's 10th month


As Jade gets more mobile, life for us is again entering a new phase. Things she learnt recently:
1) learnt to yak on her mobile phone
2) put a comb through her hair
3) starting to recognise colours like red...
She is attempting to learn how to stand and walk, but you can see she is fearful of falling and hitting herself on the hard ground..
L gonna pop soon in September... Her tummy is extremely pointed and no way you can avoid the point that its a PRINCE!
Issues now that surface:
1) How come L no need to buy infant carrier/ stroller/cot/ sterilizer/ BB clothes/ wipes/ tummy wrap for bb??
Ans: Cos, her stupid SIL bought all the stuff ready at her place already, which is meant for MIL to use for Jade actually !!
2) L assumed that MIL will cook and look after her bb during confinement.. but what's going to happen to Jade who will be even more mobile then?
3) Will Jade feels neglected by the sudden shift of attention towards the new bb?
4) Maybe, as mum says, i should start to put Jade @ her place with Auntie Lily.. at least I have a piece of mind.. but, MIL will mind?
5) I don't want to hire a maid! How? Get lily to come over more often?
6) should i start on a playgroup for jade @ 18 months?
I am due for a trip to China in Early September.. Wanted AK to go with me for our anniversary... now with L going to pop soon.. MIL ask me to take leave when she POPS. How?
Maybe i bring baby with me.. think we can survive the plane ride there?? And AK can cope with bb alone when i am working?
Yesterday, AK tested market saying need more $$ to pass to lawyer to clear OL completely. L pretended she didn't hear it. when MIL ask her to temp. come up with a partial amount, she refuse... say, need $$ for bb to deliver then. But, she gonna work to get her profit manz.. think all burden shift to us?? This shows, never work with her for anything, she will take advantage!
i curse the day i know AK sometimes... when you marry, you marry the entire family! Take note!
