        4. Now abt how men are rated : husband vs father
        Wow buds, you recalled the threads that I started.

        If others didn't know better, they'll think that we are relatives. Get it, get it! :evil:

              DW ever mentioned to me that she rated me an 'A' as a father but 'C-' as a husband. Everything I do, I do it for ds. Occasionally my conscious will prick me and that's when I'll try to do something for dw.


              Recently I bought a $2k branded bag for dw and I felt the pinch, though I tried not to show it. But I'm sure if I were do the same for ds, I would feel very very happy. I'm not sure if it's a hainanese thing cos my father is also like that.

              Anyone else is guilty of the same sin?
              I don't think it's a hainanese thing. You're like your father because you're his son. It's just that simple. It's in the DNA.

              You're not a stingy person by nature. You probably felt the pinch because you think a bag that costs $2k is just too expensive. Have you bought a $2k toy for your child before? If you have bought $50 worth of toys for your child, chances are that you won't bet an eyelid getting a $50 blouse for your wife too.

              You're man enough to accept your C- rating and share it with us. It also shows you're most probably man enough to ask your wife what you can do to improve your rating next semester.

              Treat your wife as a lover and a woman, and not your child's mother who shares the upbringing and chores with you . In fact, go as far as to treat her as your mistress in bed. Heehee...

                  I think most of the parents are willing to spend on the child rather than on themselves. I still remembered in year 2005 I bought a set of Galaxy E-learning (English/Maths/Readers) for DD and with this amount in fact I can buy 1-2 LV bags.

                        MMM:
                        :laugh: Oops :oops: I can't help but to laugh when I see this posting. My hubby is also a hainanese and very pure one and I am wondering what was going through his mind when he bought me stuff.


                        I thought hainanese is well know to make good husband :? Err... fortunately my hubby is not like but he is not always generous and sometimes need to drop hints to get the stuff I want. But I hope he would do more for the kids. Eg. I don't have to nag/ pull a long face for him to help me to coach the kids at night. I was so :x and imagne putting a tv over his head as watching tv seems to be more important for him.
                        it is said the best husband is a Shanghainese and the best wife is a Cantonese

                        from young, the Shanghainese mother will brainwash the DD to control the man of her life; and the Shanghainese man will carry her handbag, shopping bags, carry umbrella to shield her, wake up early every morning go to market to buy fresh grocery and prepare breakfast for DW, then wash and then get ready himself to go to work....still must catch office transport by 7.30am.....then evening time cannot work OT, must get home on time to prepare dinner for DW and kids, then wash, do laundry, etc etc...while wife will watch TV, chit chat with neighbours etc etc...my few Shanghainese staff are like that

                        the Cantonese wife on the other hand also very extreme ......every day must insist DH come home (regardless how late) and drink the soup, and DH does not need to lift a finger over any household chores...even if the DW has to rush home to prepare dinner.....etc then rush back to office for OT work sometimes.......and if DH is at home loitering, sure kena \"look down\" by DW one...because then the DH must be quite useless in office / work lah....that is why no evening entertainment for clients or office people outside, and have to stay home....a few of my office staff in Guangdong also like that....even my urgent month end report must wait for them to come back after cooking dinner and boil soup, even when her work performance got into hot soup

                        so, if you have a girl, start looking for a Shanghainese boy / man

                        if you have a boy, start looking around for Cantonese girls......

                        and I hereby apologise to all Hainanese men before I kena :spank:
