Why do you need so much?

This conversation happened during our car journey to see bb at mil’s place.

Mommy: Do you think I should stay home and be a SAHM if we have a second kid?
Daddy: No, I never thought of that.
Mommy: Do you think ma (mil) can cope? Don’t you think she needs some time off and relax? (trying to con him into accepting my idea)
Daddy: Silent
Mommy: I am very low maintenance one. You only need to give me $xxxx per month, then I can survive one.
Daddy: What? Why you need so much every month? Last time pa (pil) only gave ma $xxxx much.
Mommy: Wah, tai lou, last time and now where got same?
Daddy: What do u need to spend on, everything regarding house whole is paid off what?
Mommy: (Whao! Started calculating everything and I can smell the anger)
Well, let’s don’t discuss about this, it’s too early to have this conversation. *sigh in my heart*

End…. men and their money… sigh!

Dinner. Stranger.

LAST NIGHT was MIL’s birthday. We went for a simple dinner at Mt. Kiara, a Taiwanese restaurant. Bb was excited to be out as usual, trying to show off how to operate his Bob the Builder’s bottle to uncle Jo, Bil. He has been sipping water from that bottle ever since daddy purchased it, which is good, no more bottles in public. He also created rapport with waiter and waitresses there. There was a fat uncle got so fond of him and present-ed him a chopstick holder. (Like that also can. Hah!) Bb showed it to me, it was in the shape of a Japanese koi fish. I told him to return it to uncle, Sri told me he returned but uncle insisted he kept it. UR! Okay! “Well, then you can keep it” I told him. Later, he came to me telling he was scared. I asked him why, he told me the BIG BIG uncle scary. Actually according to Sri, that uncle wanted to carry him, he got scared. Mil told me this - Once a stranger offer to carry bb, he wanted to go with stranger, mil threatened him that if he goes, he will ne

Update

Gosh! He is still crying after 2 weeks. I spoke to my sister a couple of days ago telling her my concern over bb’s behaviour. When ask by daddy or mil whether he cries in school; bb’s answer is always “NO! I never cry”, uttered with confidence. In fact, he cries furiously when I drop him to school daily. His excuses before leaving with the teacher are either, “I want to go back or I want mommy or I want my kakak…”. Sis told me to boil an egg and keep it in his school bag; he will be okay in 2 weeks. Err…I have no idea why, it was a myth she heard from elder woman to soothes kids from crying to school. Has anyone heard of this tale before? Does it work was my immediate question to her. Well obviously, she said it worked for her 3rd child. I am very doubtful la but still I asked Sri to boiled one this morning for bb to bring to school. I am keeping my fingers cross. *counting- 1,2 3, 4, 5….eggs need to be boiled b4 he stops crying, wah, who is gonna eat those eggs???* Of late, I have bee
