        ksi:

        But seriously hor...I think the joy he gets from his ds face can never be the same as the joy he gets from his DW face.... So the rate of return is different even if he spends the same amount.


        You sure got the funnies in ya today, ksi! :laugh:
        ksi:
        Wives, don't flame me hor.....I am also a wife so I can see the difference in the level of joy a husband can derive from the child versus the wife. As wives, we really don't have the same child-like happiness that can go deep into one's heart.
        Issit? 😐

        The level of joy i can derive from my hubs is as joyful as the ones i get
        from my two girls. If not more...:evil:
        ksi:
        In fact some wives might even be so doubtful why they received such an expensive gift, did the husband have any hanky-panky recently? :evil:
        :faint:

        Buds, my funny raw nerve was working yesterday.... :rotflmao:

            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?
            DH nvr buy me expensive gifts as he knows he will be scolded by me... šŸ˜›

            his grade as a hubby is also lower than as a father...i attribute this to wife's expectation....

            but wondering how u grade ur DW as a wife and as a mother?

              Subjects --------- Grades
              Wife -------------- B
              Mother ----------- C
              DIL --------------- A+

              Outcome: Can qualify for NUS, but not for medicine
