Kspchew 2nd Gear January 10, 2014 Share January 10, 2014 I avoid hawker food as much as possible as I am preparing most of my own meals. But once a week, I must have my fish ball, mee pok ta. Agree with some of the comments, its the up brining of the kids by the parents. All my nieces and nephews (10+yrs old) all enjoy makan at hawker center, especially the one at old airport road.. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesc Hypersonic January 10, 2014 Share January 10, 2014 I love eating in restaurants, living in a condo and driving a car. I must be a Gen Y. I would love it even more if only someone else was paying for all the above. When young ladies ask me how old I am, I always knock a few years off, actually I knock a lot of years off. But based on the above criteria, I am not being dishonest, I really qualify to be Gen Y. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with some of the comments, its the upbringing of the kids by the parents. All my nieces and nephews (10+yrs old) all enjoy makan at hawker center, especially the one at old airport road.. Agreed that it's the attitude of the parents and how they raised the kids. If the kids are spoiled brats, who raised them? Don't blame the maid or the grandparents, the responsibility should lie with the parents. Parents who claim otherwise are just shirking responsibility. Doesn't matter rich or poor, parents always have to be responsible for their children. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mason016 Supersonic January 10, 2014 Share January 10, 2014 (edited) Agreed that it's the attitude of the parents and how they raised the kids. If the kids are spoiled brats, who raised them? Don't blame the maid or the grandparents, the responsibility should lie with the parents. Parents who claim otherwise are just shirking responsibility. Doesn't matter rich or poor, parents always have to be responsible for their children. While I agree that parents should be responsible for their children, I do not agree that parents are always responsible for their children when they become adults (i.e. have a job) or until the parents die. It breeds a generation of children who cannot stand on their own two feet, an entitlement and belief that one is privileged, and unable to survive (even with a job) without mummy or daddy subsidising their life styles.

It breeds a generation of children who cannot stand on their own two feet, an entitlement and belief that one is privileged, and unable to survive (even with a job) without mummy or daddy subsidising their life styles. Obviously, once the children become adults, they should be able to think for themselves and be responsible for themselves, else, how are they going to be able to replicate themselves in a decent manner? However, like what MG said below, foundation is important. What happens in the first few years of a child's life has profound impact on their development in the future. If you mentioned an entitlement mentality or a privileged mentality, who is the one who instilled that in them in the first place? They will need a few years of working experience to unlearn those bad habits, and hopefully, not instill THEM in their own kids.. The foundation years of a person's basic values and behaviours are the first few years of his life and who else but his parents are responsible for it?

Have to see the situation, I've seen many grandparents shielding the kids from their parents when they are being discipline. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
