A difference of 7 years between the two is considered ideal. But that is history as no one is following that norm. My sister got married at the age of 25 to a man who was 42. They seemed a happy couple.

yes most kids are on daddies side.

Dad always play the good angel role, mom plays the bad old bad guy role.

So am I.

My hubby is a good daddy while I am a witch in the family.

It is always like this , a routine that one had to be the good or bad guy so that kids would listen.

I wish that the role would…[Read more]

oh that reminds me, you are right, when a child couldn’t do something that parent had instructed, there must be a reason but the child couldn’t explain it well.

You vomitted after you ate the food?

My mom pinced my ears and my arms when I do that.

She doesn’t care if I had problem with the food.

Now that…[Read more]

maybe in western countries, sending a disobedient child to the corner or to his room worked out but not to Asian children.

When a child started to misbehave, first thing he would do is scream, yell, kick, sprawl on the ground, hit himself until the parent gave in.

No matter what the parent had instructed or…[Read more]

ahh… it is not easy being a parent.

It is fortunate of you to have mom and dad who never beat or pinch you.

My mom is different from yours.

If you could, I am sure you would be a wonderful mom to your kids in the near future .

Hopefully you can “Stand” the ruckus that you kids had made because I had…[Read more]

yeah you know, we used to say that “no to spanking” but when the situation goes out of hand, beyond your control, out of your boundary, you just to to whack that little kid to stop all his nonsense once and for all.

It is alike testing your limitation.

Of course, once in a while spanking had to be done not…[Read more]

you are definitely a good mom who had practiced the right way to teach your kids.

You are alike a good teacher who had educated well your kids.

I wish that all mom could behave your way.

No slapping kids when they are young, because it leaves a bad impression about childhood days.

When I was young, mom…[Read more]

yes you are right, connection is the key to solve parent and child problems.

Now, most parents are too busy with work that we often neglect our kids attention and needs.

Talking help us to understand better why, how, when, what happened.

Yesterday, my son told me that he didn’t passed up his homework for 1…[Read more]

yes indeed it is true.

Spanking doesn’t work on kids nowadays.

In the past during my time and my parents time, spanking definitely worked out well because we weren’t able to understand what kids are thinking about.

My mom used to hit me a lot because her temper is extremely bad.

She used cane, her hands,…[Read more]

wow, your family members included your own children are different from our Asian culture.

Normally, when a woman is divorced, she either remarries or stay single.

However, she would not encourage or allow her own children to do the same, divorce or remarry and give birth to another child with…[Read more]

You are right…but hope you know some people do someting funny in order to get your attention..most of these funny attitudes will come out emotionally which create a chance for you to look or reply to the attitude displayed by the person

I agree. The attention must have stopped for a reason.

@oksummer/

I agree, when my hubby relationship with his sister had deteriorated, he simply stopped any connection with her and the story ends there itself.

However as the years go by, she wanted to reconcile again but it was too late.

She should had build up the relationship again after a few months not years!

Anyway, it was best off this way,…[Read more]

These days when it is ‘me, myself’ no matter what others do not get any attention 😀
