You know, I really dontknow what its like to be a parent. Like how does it really feel. Although im one now, but i doesnt really have the feeling (i may sound confusing but stay with me)
Like, how does it feel to see her coming back with piercings/tattoos, bringing her bf back.. Getting married so on and forth. And seeing my grandchild if possible..i might die early you know, life's unpredictable. HA! Now she a tiny weeny human being and so subtle, so sweet and there's nothing but joy. BUT, can i say that when she is grown up? I used to argue with my mom alot and she always mentioned that she rather abort me or kill me or something like that :/ im one hell of a rebellious child so maybe i cant blame my mom. My best bud asked me a random question one night and he said " eh if one day faith come home with full rows of piercings on ears and lips and tongue and she ask you for money (acting a very fucked up face and a crooked mouth with his palm showing me*) what you'll do ah?"
SRSLY? I cant even think about it, that image scares me.
But i read it somewhere that parents always think that childrens are like mirror reflect of themselves, the tiny version. So they tried all means to input stuffs into their child's mind, learn this learn that. (Singaporeans are so kiasu) Everything must be better then other kids. Wish their own child was a genius and hope other kids is a donkey. I mean have they ever think for them? Each child has their own personalities and they have their own little minds to develop. They have their own life and they should grow into something they are, not some facade. We can give them what we doesnt have as a kid but we cant make them into something we werent as a kid. Its pretty simple once i simplify everything: Dont force your kids to be someone that they dontwant to, wah learn this learn, one week go ballet la piano la whatever they have classes out there for.
No matter how many classes they go, genius is a trait not sth you can input in a child. DONT BE SO KIASU.
P.s. I dont care my child is stupid or clever. Basic courtesy is a must!
Toodles, xo
