Continuing from previous post, Replies Part 1. Now at 2 hours later. Everyone asleep. Yes even myJosh.
For info, my Presley just broke a record on milk drinking just now. Guess how much he drank nonstop? Answer next post lah. LOL.

Here Replies Part 2:

@conancat -

oh my, josh sounds pretty pretty demanding @__o sakitnya… and ouch your eyes! >__

conancat - yes he is one demanding kid. I have adult friends like this too. Hahaha. And the left eye, aduh…memang sakit pun(yes it hurt me badly). Nasib tidak buta (luckily it didn’t blind me).

@Shemah -

Honestly, I don’t think Josh is being unreasonable at all. Maybe a little demanding, which is no surprise as ALL 3 year olds are like that at one point or another.. even WITHOUT having siblings.

Josh needs some time to adjust. If parents need to adjust, what more to say a 3 year old. Some of the comments above seem so harsh, I think you can’t expect too much out of a 3 year old.. poor Josh can’t suddenly become a big brother that knows what responsibility means. All he wants is mommy and daddy to play with him like they did before AND manage the twins at the same time.

So basically, give him time. This is the part where your patience needs to be berdouble-double triple triple.

As for me, when the 2nd baby comes, I will expect Buddy to behave more or less like Josh as well. They’re still babies (to me).. and need attention too. Budak tua bangkak umur 24 tahun pun masih manja sama mama. Apalagi budak 3 tahun. Hang in there papaJPP!! I wish you all the best!

Shemah - Thanks. Appreciate it very much. You understood very well the 3 yrs old period. yeah, Josh just wanted my attention… in full 110% that’s all. Hahahaha.

I can’t wait for your 2nd one. Sure fun

@Mr. Triple D -

poor lil josh..jealous of his lil twin bro..u buy la josh a new toy..

3xD - Good idea. Simple advice and yet I believe the most effective one. Hahaha. Thanks

@anggie -

i think jealousy is normal among kids, as long as not very serious type of jealousy , give josh some time to make used to him that his a big brother now. Later he will be proud to be bro and taking k them… need time, need time …

anggie - “where got time” - to “I got time” Astro ads. Funny, now I remembered myJosh said, all the toys belong to him only. “Not adik own!” hahahaha. Really the typical “koko” or big brother.

@Just call me Aunty J -

I can understand how hard it can be for both you and your wife to handle Josh especially with your new twins…hope he will get himself adjusted to the new environment soon…as I dont have the experience of handling first-born with a new baby yet, the least n I could do is to give you this site http://babyparenting.about.com/od/training/f/jealousy.htm

It seems like a good one…all the best to you and your wifey…hope Josh will start to accept his new role as a big bro soon Hang in there my fren!

Joyce - Thanks for the link and being understanding. I’m hanging on a very thin rope now. Anytime gone. Hahaha. Yeah, myJosh will see that he’s a big brother already.

@hcfoo -

Wah, Papajoneh need to work on weekend night???

Seems like Josh is jealous and wants attention

hcfoo - Yes, working on weekends for the past 11 years already
Yeah, myJosh wanted attention. He need like now and must now. If not… you jaga, I poke your eyes again! LOL.

@clement -

Clement - ok. Thanks for informing me.

@mel -

Be patience..josh will get use to it sooner. He just need to understand why he is not getting all the attention that he used to get last time.

mel - Yabah mel. Kesian juga dia tu.

@sasha -

Sasha! - anger anger! Like want to cubit someone’s leg now!

@L’abeille -

Don’t worry le PJ, your eldest son just want a little attention. Remember to spend some quiet time with him once a while, especially now you’ve another two boys taking up most of the attention. from 100% attention last time, now he only gets 33.33333333333% wor..

Haha..talk about poking eyes, last time hor..i even hide my younger sister under the TV cabinet because everybody tells me papa mama don’t love me anymore as they’ve another new baby! ahhahaah.. *hide face*

L’abeille - Yep. I tried my best to spend more time with him . If not kena poke eyes lagi. LOL.

Waaahhh… you were very the “jahat” one also, eh LOL

@charlenediane -

Alamak.. kesian you lah. Body at the office but mind at home. Ish, what a terrible situation to be in. But I can imagine your wife having one hell of a time - taking care of 3 kids by herself! I can volunteer to babysit if you want hehe.

charlenediane - You sound serious to volunteer… I may end up calling you, you know. I really need help at home. Wife could not complain. She just stress, that’s all. Kesian her. I just filling the gap when she’s resting.

Imagine all this while just the two of us handling the boys.

@Jacelyn -

hi, 1st time tagging u…..
http://www.mummyinvain.com/?p=120

Not sure whether u will do tags or not?

Jacelyn - Will do it later on ok. Thanks for remembering me. Pls remind me again ok.

@Sweetpea -

L’abeille seems to be very understanding considering she doesn’t have any kids yet.

Yes, having new members in the family is a big change for everyone, more so for Josh. I suggest no matter how busy you are, you just have to find some time to fit in a one-on-one bonding time with him. Play your pc games. Take just him out for a walk to the store. Whatever. Make him feel that he is not neglected and tell him over and over again you love and care for him the same, no less. Include him in daily chores for the twins. Ask him to get their towels, diapers, etc.

Then you take care of the twins and your wife can then have the same one-on-one time with him. Even if it’s just 10 minutes.

I hope this helps. I have the one and only, so I can only imagine how full and ‘noisy’- in a good way, your lives must be!

take care~

Sweetpea - Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it very much. Yeah, I am doing just that - spending more times with myJosh until he asleep. Hopefully the time he needs me is not the time the babies need me.

Yes L’abeille understood well

@karulann -

Hehehe, your Josh is just like me when I just got my brother… Well I was the only child for 8 years before my annoying brother is born… It’s common for lil’ Josh to get jealous but then need to handle it carefully so that it wouldn’t worsen… Hehehe, good luck in taking care of the twins and also lil’Josh

karulann - Wahhh…. confession lagi. Thanks for sharing that.
Thanks for the wishes. Im handling so the very careful with myJosh. Thanks again.

Phhheewwww … I thought I never finish answering all the comments and advices. To all my visitors and friends, I hope I have some kind of token like the personalized pens to give to each and everyone of you for taking the time to help me lessen my stressful life. I owe you a lot. I hope I can continue blogging as usual. I hope I’ll be feeling as energetic as I am right now; to read and reply all your comments. I hope you can still come back to visit me in the future. Appreciate it. Yes, there’s an evil link out there, somewhere for everyone to click it. LOL.
