When you see a snake in front of you, will you be scared even the snake is not coming towards you? Of course \"Yes\". My feeling to dog is the same....even with a well trained dog, when I see dog, my legs will immediately run away. :siam:
My neighbor's handsome dog(s) will come in walk around our place leisurely
i m very scared but dd likes..Whenever I see the dog outside I will need to close the door more while saying hello..these dogs are really nice dogs just that it is difficult for me to overcome the feeling. -
Actually dogs nowadays quite tame and well behaved de I find. Just that we are scared of them. When I see owners with dogs waiting for lift, I will let them go first
And one thing I noticed, everytime I see the dogs trimmed their mao mao, I feel like seeing a young boy just had a hair cut…very fresh and again looks very lengzai/handsome. -

Thank you for sharing! I am excited to see my children gaining independence and hope they eventually become independent. I still have a long way to go… you’re 10 miles ahead, so I’m totally learning from your experience.
Oh, I've been focusing more on myself gradually over the years, since they were teenagers, probably. I feel it's best to let them increase their independence bit by bit, not all at once.
I think you have to be 18 (maybe 16?) to have an investment account. My husband set them up with an investment account once the younger one was old enough, and got them to put in some of their ang bao and birthday money in something safe and unexciting. We encourage them to save and invest more while they are still living at home with low expenses. -

When a person is a adult, there is very little you can do. For you, it's your husband, for me, it's my parents!
As for DH, I can say and remind but end of the day it is up to himself to moderate and take precaution. If I say more, he not happy. I am also not one to nag so I just tell him he should know himself and his own health. Just the other day he msged say he had dinner with business partners, drank 白酒 a bit giddy already.
I just heard that my father (nearly 85, in good health, but still!) climbed a 6ft ladder to change a light bulb rather than ask for help. My mother said she scolded him, but he refused to listen. And my mother is talking about renewing the COE of her car (due in 2 yrs time, and she's the same age as my father!). She wasn't the best of drivers even when young. Luckily she only drives to nearby and familiar places. I've been trying to get them to realise that being older means that their abilities will decrease, but they refuse to see it!
Maybe I'll be as bad when I'm their age - I hope not! -

Another time I see him standing on top of the kitchen cabinet varnishing the top cabinet. That is despite him already telling us that his legs are weak already and co-ordination a bit off. He has taken quite a few tumbles just while walking to the market. The worse was when he fell while out for his morning exercise, bruised and scraped knee, bruised chin and knocked out a tooth. We had a shock when we saw him during our weekly visits as he refused to let mum call to tell us what happened. He said his legs refused to co-operate and he fell forward. Dad has given mum quite a few scares. When we tell him not to do all these, he will tell us he knows what he is doing and to stop treating him like an invalid.

They're not just friends, I think they are identical twins! My father has also fallen during walks! But he can't hide the injurise as easily as he picks my nephew up after school a few times a week, and so my brother will hear about any extra bruises, cuts etc. And that last line describes exactly the situation.

Unfortunately, we bring up our sons to be \"strong\" - and this is what happens to them when they are old. But old women can be just as stubborn, but they will be stubborn about other things.
