...But I lost you there when you referred to \"self-contained way\" :oops:
Sorry... I wasn't clear. As you all know, we have started selecting very good posts in the forum to be published in the KiasuParents Portal. The purpose is to highlight such posts so that it is easier for others to find, and to give credit and recognition to contributors from our midst who take the time to help others in the community. See: http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/our-kiasuparents.
What I meant by \"self-contained\" is that the post should work by itself, ie, there should be no need to refer to other posts in order to understand the full context. To retain the essense of the post, we try to do as minimal editing as possible when we put up posts as articles... we only clean up the obvious spelling errors and formatting. Once it is up, the original author is free to re-edit the post to his/her liking. -

Hmm... thanks! Or maybe combine your ideas to double the effect:
How about
1) If I could to turn back the clock, I would still marry you!
2) I would still marry you in the next life...
\"Darling, if I climb up the chair to turn back the clock and fall and break my neck, I will still marry you in my next life.\"
Romantic enough or not har?
PS. Sorry... I'm disturbing the thread with my nonsense again. Thousand island apologies. -

And by the way, roses and any other flower (even with chocolates and diamonds) don't work on me. No wait, I'll take the diamonds....and sell them to get what I really want....perhaps a shopping trip in Japan ON MY OWN or MY OWN PC or....

My view is that art and music could come in the years before school - the academic will come in full force once they are in school so no pt doing that in preschool. Let them explore and enjoy art and music whether it helps in their IQs or not, I am not sure. But I know it sure makes them happy.
About decision making, I think if Daddy is busy making money , then mummy will have to take up the rest naturally. Consider that the mummy spent more time with the child and will be able to make the best judgement. As well as spend time on research . Not to mention checking out the Kiasu parents website for tips! I think generally daddies can’t be bothered with the nitty gritty stuff - so spare them the details.
JMHO. -

Hope your \"other half\" sees this & ACTION! tsk tsk tsk...

*shake hand with fellow daddy*Ha ha ha, hilarious you lot.... :lol:
OK, well... I seem to be a black sheep among men. I was and still am very interested in parenting. I think it stems partly from my interest in human behaviour and relationships, my love of girls (esp those aged 3 - 36) and I think i deal with certain respects of parenting better than my DW....
Anyway, here's what I think about the topic, why men evolved to let mummy make all the decisions.
NUMBER 1 REASON, NO CHALLENGE:
Case Study 1A:
DW: Darling, would you prefer A or B?
Me: You sure I have a choice? .... OK I like A.
DW: But if we pick A, then this-that-cannot. B might be better.
Me: If you alr picked B, you ask me for my opinion for what???? :stupid: :stupid:
Case Study 1B:
DD: Daddy, which one do you choose?
Me: Mmmm, I like the rabbit one.
DD: .... But I wanted to choose the rabbit...
Me: [sianz.....]
:roll:
Case Study 1C:
DD: Daddy, which one do you like?
Me: Mmmmm, I \"like\" the blue one. [actually blue one sucks, pink one nicer].
DD: OK! Then I take the pink one! I knew you would choose the blue one!
Me: Yes sweetheart... (your daddy very well-trained by now....)
NUMBER 2 REASON
Case Study 2A:
DW: Blah blah blah clothes nag nag nag iron blah blah mess blah DW yadda yadda fish yadda nag nag nag windows nag nag blah blah blah.....
Me: [Start | Programs | Wife | Nagging Neutralizer and Voice Tune-Out Module]
DW: yaadda yodda nag blah yadda ..... So how?
Me: Mmmmmmm.... up to you lor.
I got more reasons, I write later.
in summary - damned if you do and damned if you don't!

Gee, I have never asked my hub the 3 questions,\" Do you love me etc..\". Maybe I should and see if I get the same reaction according to the hubby survival code. Anyway he has the advanced survival code with him: he text me regularly with short but sweet messages but that set me thinking, \"wah, you not concentrating at work or what... but on the other hand it is good that I am the source of distraction
In my case, yes, I am the one who would research, source and then let my hub know, \" Oh..I am signing XX up for XXX.\"
Reply: silence......alternatively
Reply: \"how much?\" alternatively
reply: \"again!!!!\" alternatively
reply: \"grunt\"
If I need help from hubby in tutoring the kids when I am working late or when I could only help 1 of my 2kids, I would tell him specifically, \" Can you go through .... with XX?\"
reply,\" grunt\"
But honestly, despite all the grunting, my hub is a hands-on family man.
So Misty, you have to talk to hub about your stress, not so much as in complaining,\" You didn't do.....!\"\"I am the one doing all the ...\" (even if that is true, DO NOT SAY IT THAT WAY!) If that draws blank in terms of no proactive action from him, then you plan what your kids need to do and assign hub to help specifically in that area. Sometimes he may be thinking that you are doing such a great job and decide to just leave it to you, not because he does not want to help. -

Ya, agree on this point.. in the end, this is ur job already since you never make noise before...
