Hi Mummies,

I know we have our disappointments, but with CNY just round the corner, let's think ahead and be happy. We should try not to let anyone bring us down. Hopefully I don't get misunderstood again.

:celebrate:

no worries! Happy new year! Let's enjoy this holiday season and recharge ourselves!P

lol, my parents will brag.

eg "when I was in school I always top in school one! Why you always 10+ in class, how to make it into HC or RJC?"
or "my daughter/son very smart, got government scholarship! and my daughter/son got 9A1s in o levels!" will be uttered by my mom’s colleagues.
I just ignore them. Whatever lah, you also not top scorer in singapore right.

Wah, this year is superb. Nobody bragged about anything. So, I had a good talk with one or two relatives. I like this, get updates without comparing. Hm... did they hear my ranting here...? :celebrate:

Second one…aiya, my child is so used to overseas life(she is only twelve),she can travel from paris to…all my herself…she is not used to the education here so we put her in international school…etc…anyway, we intend to send her to overseas even she has a place in local school…

I keep my ear shut …and just smile …

My peeve during this CNY gathering is when S/BILs - who chose to remain childless - start to advise me on how to upbring my DS. Saying things like children are supposed to be seen and not heard


When you're outside looking in, it's always easy to give comments such as 'if I have my own child and he steps out of line an inch, I will immediately give him one tight slap'. But it's only when you're inside that you appreciate the practical difficulties of raising a child.

While my PILs and even own parents also gave advice sometimes, I can respect that they have been there, done that (though different era). But for people who have not been there, I just wish that they keep their comments to themselves.
