My poor boy

My poor boy vomited on his first day of child care...must be so stressed out and traumatised. I am equally traumatised by his experience as well and kinda blamed myself for not prepping him enough. As if its not enough stress already, my mother-in-law decided to take it upon herself to wean him off his thumb-sucking on the very same day by applying the medicated oil "Bai Hua You" on his thumb and favourite teddy bear. Scarred i would say!!! I pleaded with her not to do it now as he is already very 可怜 (in cantonese) and cried the whole day liao. She said ok - guess what?!!! The very next day she used white pepper!!!! I think i nearly cried out in despair and because of this the poor boy couldn't settle in for his only nap of the day. The result is a super clingy toddler that cries the moment i step out. Think I would dig my claws into my mommy too! This preggie needs no further aggravation but how can i stop her? My husband shrugs his shoulder and asks me to tell his mom lo (wished I was the type to swear or give my mil the superduper black face). *Sigh* psyching myself today that she would use chilli?!
