Me Time!

[doodbug]

I didn't see any tears on send off day whether it be for girls or boys (the Jan intake had a couple of sections of female recruits), but yes there were some super-enthusiastic and expressive parents


It's a huge physical and mental adjustment for boys - the regimentation and culture - some boys adjust and accept it better and more quickly than others.

Oic..understand. kind of tying him down when you parents feel that ds can do anything /go wherever he wants at this age right. 这么办。kids big already have own thinking le.

Not all go for bubble tea. Mine just won’t go for anything sugary or unhealthy or ‘unscientific’. I get questioned OK. Lol

Hahaha… attachment strategy.

DS’s gfrd didn’t cry tho. She seems quite level headed. She’s independent type alright. Hope when DS decide overseas is an option, she’ll not dissuade him. Pssst… I alr sent signals to her
