@Jentleheart  There is nothing wrong with trying to be a better person, but do not think you are a lesser person now. I think we are our own worst enemies at times because we are our own biggest critics. I am not sure why we do this to ourselves since it is self destructive. I feel as long as we try our best then we are doing good. I am glad that…[Read more]

@peachpurple  Yep my son keeps asking questions and sometimes after I answer them he wants to take it further. I can answer some of them without problem but he can delve too deeply and then my knowledge about the subject gets lesser. That is when I tell him to look it up or to ask someone who knows more about it.  For example: The other day we t…[Read more]

@kaka135/

YES!!

My guess was right!

You really quit your job after delivering your first child?

Nope I didn’t quit until I had my 2nd child.

My FIL took care of my daughter after she was born.

My MIL ran off to care of her own daughter’s kids who were older than mine.

Hence, my daughter is much closer to ah gong than ah ma.

When I had my…[Read more]

@morgoodie/

my son is 9 years old now.

Yup , he has the super WHY questions and that’ s not it.

After I answered the first questions, he will link to another questions until I ran out of answers.

But I knew that he was making fun of me because he was smiling.

which means, he had understood the first answer.

Yup moms are not the walking…[Read more]

@peachpurple Yes, I am already 37 years old, and I had my first child when I was 30. It’s good that you are still a young mother while your children are already grown up, but I think I would have still go through the same, even if I could go back. I think it’s just the perfect time for me to get ready to have children at that time.

Did you become…[Read more]

I think it just depends on where you are with your life really. The right age I think is relative to the person or couple. Maturity helps and having a steady income is especially important.  I had my first child at age 33 and my second one at age 34. My children are 15 months apart and I am not sure that it was wise to have them like that, but…[Read more]

@kaka135/

If I am not wrong, you gotta be 37 years old by now.

I remembered you had mentioned that your boy is 7 years old, right?

I had my first daughter at age 24, yes much younger than you.

My daughter is working now, she had completed her diploma and is going to further her studies in degree, part-time in singapore.

It takes a lot…[Read more]

@jentleheart/

you can do better in your own way. Yeah, no point competing with your siblings.

This will end up hurting your dad’s feeling instead. No dad would want to see his own children quarreling or fighting among each other over internal issues.

My dad felt sad when my younger brother doesn’t talk or contact me .

I know why. I tried to…[Read more]

I always thought grandparents will have more patience than parents. But I do agree with you, kids are so active and like to ask a lot of questions, and they can really talk non-stop for the whole day, and everyday!!

I decided to have children when I think I am really mentally and emotionally ready (that means I am mature enough). I had my first…[Read more]

@nakitakona13 Iguess life is just too complicated.  Things happen when we allow it to happen.  And we should stand by our decisions because we are the ones who will either be successful or become a failure. Nevertheless,  life is full of lessons which we must all understand.

Thanks @peachpurple @morgoodie @nakitakona13 I really need people to remind me that eventhough I think that I am less of a person that I think I am,  my parents don’t see me that way.  I guess,  I just wanted to prove myself that I need to be better,  but not in competition with my siblings but with my old self.

@morgoodie Sorry for your losses, but I am glad to hear there is an elderly lady that takes care of your children and love your children as well. It’s a blessing to find such a nice person to take care of your children.

Yes, I think I am blessed as my parents are always trying to help me, especially since I became a stay-at-home mom. They are…[Read more]

I don’t know if we are destined as a partner in life, as husband and wife for time and eternity. But we believe in that possibility for if we want to we could be sealed for time and eternity. What I mean here is the spiritual implication that if the man and the woman had bound themselves to a marriage to live together till death do they depart.…[Read more]

@peachpurple  Here is one for you all I clicked while in Snow Mountains in New South Wales about one and half years before during Australian summers. Yes Christmas in Australia is during Peak summers. He was 3 and half then

I am not a grandparent yet, maybe another 10 years to go.

My teen is working right now, so not in a hurry yet, furthermore she is single.

My kids lost their grandfather ( hubby’s side) due to the big C

Both my parents and his mom are still here but they do not visit us.

Instead, we have to visit them

Maybe it is their style , not the Chinese…[Read more]

My father is already dead. The only legacy he bequeathed me is the values I learned from him while he was still living. These are practical principles in life such as a time for God, untarnished character, work, loving for books, opportunity to grow, caring for children, caring for others, and of being considerate. These are  8 values I learned…[Read more]
