        The friend’s (undergrad) daughter did not seek parental permission before applying BTO. I mean if I were the parent, and I said no, would my (abv 21yo) daughter still listen to me then?

        If I said no, that means I won’t give them a single cent to help with their downpayment, then where the young couple find the $$? From the boy’s parents??? Lol.
        This bto application has very important meaning lei.. applied without telling also means not much discussion on dowry hor 😆

            [quote=lee_yl post_id=1950331 time=1574924738 user_id=17023]Hello, don’t ask so much lah... 😂

            I have seen a few young couples broke up before their BTO arrives

            Unker sian at work so come in to kpo mah!

            We met a couple like that too..seems only the flat is holding them on..deferred the finalisation of ownership at least one time we heard. Both already living like ..emm..even not good friends also more cordial than them. Quite sad lor.[/quote]Sad way to live. Hv house but no home. Emptiness in heart is the hardest. Hope they can let go of past & move on with life.

                @ MKS Agree we shld not meddle how they shld live or establish their family. Just stay away & best live our own retirement & go over only when invited or asked us for help. Then asks specifically how they like to be helped. Not easy when in action.


                Neice married to Aussie doc & both work at the hospital so SIL share grandparenting roles with husband’s parents. Wonder how the other side actually feels coz they’ll hv Aussie grandparenting style whilst SIL will be Asian/Chinese style. In our recent visit, SIL brot loads of Chinese Herbs for her to tonify till she delivers her 2nd boy. I know she hv straight instructions for SIL tt she only allows her 1st child play with physical toys & not watch TV & SIL had to control herself fr YouTube or TV Programmes. They try to respect & accommodate daughter’s style of parenting & think its good they rotate with other in-laws when they travel back to SG to visit nephew, so conflicts reduced. So, I must rmbr to find our own life & activities & go on vacation or journey away fr home do don’t be too prying or sticky to our grown up kids’ lives.

                  But hor, need great 'kungfu' to not not meddle..now teaching to us like nagging to them..you are right , we got to find own life, good for us and good for them..

                    lc, I saw the Suzuka on this Qxx black fri offer and suddenly it hits me that you asked about it on hair right…ok it has roller brushes to sweep so I guess the some hair will entangle around it but I dont think it will cause it to stop working just that you need to clear it after a while…using it at another place that has mainly dust and it works ok…on hair, based on shorter period trials, looks fine too.

                        jedamum, your dc also 4 yrs apart arh..at one stage should be very cute right as you could see one big and one small ..I sometimes fascinated forgetting that the elder one is still a kid lor.. I see and think..why can play till like that arh 😂 I notice school holidays are the time for kids to strengthen their relationship. During school terms,

                        usually will be busy and younger one will go and look for friends to play with.. and this morning, dh says try not to let dd1 take public transport on own else she thinks want to go out she will go out on her own lor..and last night reminded me to spend more time with kids else in a while more she will not need us as much... see, one hand we hope they be independent but on another, we feel reluctant to let go..
