May you not only survive, but thrive through many, many decades together :)<BR/><BR/>About your daughter, well, I would suggest religion. Pray together as a family before they go to sleep. I think its important not only for them, but for the family as a whole. <BR/><BR/>And not to make you paranoid or anything, but do check that your maid isn't troubling your daughter. If Nikita is getting up at about the same time every night, maybe its not something as random as a dream that bothers her. I pray this isn't the case though and that her fears pass.<BR/><BR/>Hope you guys all get back to normal :)Salomiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08390297289267521453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10344499201350381.post-84890063810702220472008-09-08T10:27:00.000+04:002008-09-08T10:27:00.000+04:00bins: Thanks:-DYeah Nikita sort of got used to som...bins: Thanks:-D<BR/>Yeah Nikita sort of got used to somebody always holding her while sleeping, thts why all this trouble whereas with Naina I think it was the right time we moved her out so she adjusted better.<BR/>Yep, persevering.....:-P<BR/><BR/>Shades: Seriously time flies so fast......even now I sometimes cant believe I'm a mother of 2 kids:-O.<BR/>I was such a tomboy tht even now it amuses my school & college friends to no end watching me feeding the kids, scold the kids, etc:-SReflectionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07306120391459083770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10344499201350381.post-79829434546114324712008-09-08T00:09:00.000+04:002008-09-08T00:09:00.000+04:00Lovely stuff...esp about "surviving" 9 years of ma...Lovely stuff...esp about "surviving" 9 years of marriage :O) ...my dad would recount the entire episode of the day he first saw me on EVERY birthday...he'd start off as, "Wow it's your birthday?

Infact thts all i've been doing with her. Its only when I fell sick I started getting annoyed coz i was still doing all the work & she knew I was also sick. Even last morning she was soooo sick but by the time I came back she was all dressed to the nines & ready to go out for the wkend(thu-fri is wkend here)looking absolutely fresh.

Only the thought that she really mayb sick is holding me back.<BR/><BR/>Wannabe: u wont believe it but i never wanted a maid who stayed overnight. I wanted somebody who just stayed till I came back from work. This woman was paying an awful lot of money as rent & so requested me if she cd stay at my place & save on the rent. And I felt sorry for her & agreed. But now it seems like a millstone around my neck. I only keep quiet bcoz the kids are fond of her & she is also attached to them.Reflectionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07306120391459083770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10344499201350381.post-81133084793058820142008-09-05T04:24:00.000+04:002008-09-05T04:24:00.000+04:00so sorry to hear of your granduncle passing away- ...so sorry to hear of your granduncle passing away- it does leave that void inside- especially when it sounds like it was a huge personality- filling other people's lives. <BR/><BR/>When you said you went through a rollercoaster of emotions- you were right!
