Does your man grow grumpier as he gets older?

Does your man grow grumpier as he gets older? A friend shared with me over lunch table that her brother-in-law criticise a lot lately, very judgemental and angry. Daily conversations will be filled with petty argument. This is nothing new to me as I have one who reacted that way at home. Sometimes a good day can turn awfully bad due to very minor issue and if I tried arguing, I will get all kinds of crude remarks. So I choose to keep quiet with hope that things will get better and it does get better sometimes but not all the time.

Women has PMS, men has their “WIND” too when they are stress with responsibilities in life.  I believe everyone has stress, some people handle it better but some don’t. It also depends on one’s life encounters. Imagine dealing with a stressful Hainanese man...

Everyone has his/her own burdens of life, including me. However, I always believe that it's not the load that breaks us down, it's the way we carry it.

Burdens become light when cheerfully borne. ;)

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
