For females, they can cry and borrow husband shoulders.. When a father is down, who can he turn to ? His mother is already long gone. Beer and buddies??? These 2 are very impt creations IMO... Agreed with u tat man always put on brave front... But it would be really useful to have tat occasional buddies session to kpkb abt EVERYTHING! In fact, after a few rounds, mood gets better and lesser tension too! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollagt 5th Gear September 22, 2014 Share September 22, 2014 Beer can only relieve for a few hours, worse still drink driving and get caught. Buddies ah..got money then got buddies. Some buddies very kind hearted, bring you go kopitiam to gai xiao ah long for you. After that go find ATB since got money liao. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vhtfhwlego Supercharged September 22, 2014 Share September 22, 2014 My dad doesn't give me alot of attention. I can only remember that I ate with him once in the past 30 years. Only until recently I learnt that, The greatest love a father can give to a child is to love the mother. Thank you Dad for being there for us. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ktglfc Hypersonic September 22, 2014 Share September 22, 2014 Sometimes, when we have our own family and have our own home, we tend to neglect our parents who are not staying with us... we tend to visit them, maybe once or twice a week, and only shower them the love and concern at that time... and we will come out with excuse that we have our own family to deal and love with... What our parents want is just some calls to them and have a nice chat with them... have we done this? Have I done this too? ..... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not good at soft approach ha My personal belief is that we should use the soft approach for kids who are obedient/kiasu type and hard approach for those lazy/take it easy type of kids. No one size fits all. My own daughter was the obedient type who lacks confidence so had to use the soft approach and whilst it tests your patience, I can say it works most times. My nephew/niece is the opp, have to kick them up the backside to get them going and again I can say it works most times as well. My 2 cents!!

[shakehead] Yes having 3 with 3 diff characters is tough and inevitable they will compare how come A gets away on certain things whilst for B, everything also cannot etc. My bro had the same problem and his daughter who was the most diff compared to her 2 brothers always complain the boys get away with everything but she fails to see that the boys earned it whilst she didn't! We learn along the way and yes we tear our hair out as well! 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We learn along the way and yes we tear our hair out as well! My temper always gets the worse of me during these times... Always tell myself to take a deep breath before scolding my kids but every time also forget... Scold already then regret and start to feel bad... Machiam like when I'm young... Do dumb things and get into trouble then regret... I resolute to hold my temper for 20 seconds before I scold my kids... Perhaps after 20 seconds I might not even scold them but tell them firmly... Let's see how things goes... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
F355 Turbocharged September 22, 2014 Share September 22, 2014 Kids look up to their dads as heroes. If your dad is still around , spend more time with him. If he's no longer around , dedicate this song to him ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
