I think in Asia, men are generally more chauvinist than those in European countries - probably because of a more "Easternised" culture, AKA conservative? I've lived in Indonesia for some years and I know that Indonesian women are surrendered to the mercy of their husband. Majority of them have no sa...

Most baby shoes are sold according to their age. So if your baby is between 12-18 months you can ask the sales staff for the shoe size. Alternatively, you may use a string / ruler to measure your kid's feet size. My baby's shoes are bought this way. =) When she was learning to walk, I got her this t...

Hi,

Any advice whether it will be difficult for me to bring along my Filipino domestic helper to Australia for holiday with us? Will I get any difficulty at embassy to apply for her visa?

How much freedom you give your maid depends on the maid's attributes. I'll be more at peace knowing who her friends are and what she does on her own and where is she at all time. My mother's maid is a married woman in her late 30s, she is given many freedoms given that she is mature enough handle h...

Re: Thanks

Thanks for that information. I'll have my husband (who's already out in Singapore) look into both those links. Do I have to have my general practitioner refer me to an OBGYN or is it self referral? I guess the first step either way would be to register with a general practitioner. Thanks again for ...
