I've got a Grumpy Baby!

My baby is kinda strange....lol.... her looks changes. She used to look like me, now she looks more like my hubby. He's so pleased! But what they say, if boys looks like their mother, they turn out handsome & vice versa! So I'm glad Baby is looking more like my hubby now.

She's grumpy & hardly smile, MIL said she has got attitude like Gong Li ! OMG... for your info, that's her favourite celebrity. And when Gong Li took on our spore citizenship, MIL is so proud. Sigh... if Baby grow up to be like Gong Li or even look like her, my MIL will be proud!
Still I'm worry about her attitude.... why no smiles??? Something wrong with her?

Parenting is tough these days

The latest news that's catching the nations attention is how a parent reported on a teacher who cut her son's hair in school because it's too long. Everyone is criticising the parents.

I look at my baby & was thinking will I become like that? An over protective parent ? I hope not. Families used to be big in the past. People have 5 kids easy & 7-8 is not uncommon at all. Back then parents do not have the luxury of spending too much time with the kids. Kids were left mostly on their own. Parents let the school have lots of freedom in disciplining the kids. Teachers had an easier time then. Parents respected the teachers & school.
These days, many parents have higher education than some teachers , many earn more too. Therefore there is a sense of " are you qualify to take care of my precious kid" syndrome. Well Am I worrying too much,  mine is just an infant now! But kids grow fast, in no time it might be my problem. I might have my own little fights with my kid's teachers....lol....
But I promise I'll try....to be nice. Rather I wont be an over protective parent. My hubby laughed when I announced that! Why is it so difficult to believe?
