I have one daughter and she will be the only one for us. We had decided to have two but unfortunately the second one did not survive for long. I am happy and proud with what God gave to us.
Grecy Garcia replied to the topic When do you end a friendship? in the forum Family & Relationships 8 years, 6 months ago
I end a friendship when a person is full of herself/himself. It is not that I let them know, I just turned away. It is like the bitterness is overwhelming and I already forgotten what they are before because they are totally different person now, run by bitterness, of what they feel inside them, when we know we can sort things out in the process.…[Read more]

I love to have twins or maybe one boy and one girl. I love to have a boy because I want him to look like my husband. If it is a girl, I would love her to look like my mini-me. I want my husband to have his mini-me so I love to have a boy too. However, I am not getting married yet and do no have a plan as of the moment. I just had a heartbreak…[Read more]

I give my respect to my parents. They are not perfect, they do mistakes too but I accepted that and it is because I love them more of myself. I am looking up to them and their words of wisdom even though I am an adult now.

I dont know what do you mean by bad parents but I love them. I do not like to violate the commandment.
Fortunately, they were not parents, they were friends and guides.
Whenever I was confused, they showed me the way and it worked.

I am in that boat now with my mother and I have brought this question up to a priest at confession. He said to do the best you can and lift your burden up to God.
My mom is a difficult woman, complaining 24/7, and nothing can make her happy. I live on a limited income with a teenager boy, but no matter how much I give, it is never enough to…[Read more]

To me trust is the most important in any friendship. Some are emotionally confused when it comes to the word trust. Trust means to me; communication between two people who can tell each other everything. And when I say everything, I mean everything. Trust is most essential including hard to find. As far as some being clingy or cannot solv…[Read more]

I want to have four children because I don’t like odd numbers, haha! I ended up with two boys and one girl. I had my youngest son when I was already 40 and it wasn’t fun being scared out of my mind by all the physicians. If it was up to me, I would have another if I could, just so I would have four 🙂

I call my mom “MA” on most days, and sometimes MOM. As for my father, I use to say DAD, Daddy!
My children called me MOM and sometimes MUMSY!

@peachpurple My home town is in Ipoh, most people there speak Cantonese as well. But, my family speak Mandarin at home, so I can speak better in Mandarin than in Cantonese, though there are still some terms we use in Cantonese. 😀

@jentleheart Yes, I think it’s challenging for every mother, and it’s even more challenging when we want to take care of the children on our own and still need to work from home. But, I have really been learning a lot for being a mother, not only learning about parenting, but my children really help me to grow in my own personal path. I am really…[Read more]
@peachpurple We actually speak mandarin at home, but when we call our parents, we do not call them in the Mandarin pronunciation but Cantonese. I don’t call them Lou Tou or Ah Ma, but just baba & mama, similar to Mandarin, but different tone. 😀
Yes, I think nowadays many kids call daddy and mommy, and I think that’s why my little girl followed…[Read more]

I call my parents “Mama” & “Papa”
You’re right @peachpurple I noticed that too most kids nowadays call their parents mommy and daddy.

I have 2 kids, a teenager and a 9 year old boy.
I can’t imagine having 3 kids, those 2 are breaking my back , noisy with screaming at each other and “mommy, you see , who and who did this and that….”
I thought in cantonese , dad should be ” Lou tao”
Mom – Ah Ma
But nowadays, mommy and daddy are common
@junebride31 aww, so sweet my dear, that is very close bonding
