Children need to know that their parents care for them.

[mummyjoyce]

Our parents are less expose to the world (no internet and less travelling during their times) and thus cannot really contribute much in our homework, discussion, even advice us on the course to take in uni. I dont blame them as their key focus was to get enough $ for the family so that all the children can have a better life.

However the parents of today is different, we are so much better and smarter in term of knowledge so we can give more pointers in term of school works and discussions. However we must remember to handoff whenever possible so that they can have the freedom to think and do stuffs on their own. The children of today make less mistakes then us and I am concern in this space. Mistakes make us learnt and appreciare things better in life.

Let me know what you think of it...

Sound touching to me. But seems to be over protective/overdoing. I am still doing most of them for DS, but i would hope to let go when he grows older. I can't be there for him all the time to check on minor thing like stationeries. Broken pencil..... I am letting go thing slowly.... He has to remember stuff like replenish his pocket money daily(since i give his pocket money weekly), soak his socks/ uniform (in years to come, i am making him to wash & iron them)all the minor daily things to do. He ought to be independent.


Coaching him with his school work is the only one i can't bring myself to let go.... not at the time being, will only let go until i can't manage his syllabes

Well, I am touched. This is a mother's love and dedication towards her child, we shouldn't judge.


If your child happens to be a really sleepyhead, will you actually let him miss school or his exam just so he will learn a lesson?

I was one sleepyhead when young and my dm, everyday without fail, would have to wake me many times before I will get my butt off the bed. Did I need her to wake me up on my wedding day? No.

I guess you may call it retribution because everyday now, I have to nag long and hard before my ds1 will get out of bed in the morning. It makes me realise how much my dm must have loved me. This gives me the strength to do the same for my ds1 and one day, he will look back and know how much I love him.

Will I have to wake him on his wedding day?

I didn't have that kind of memories...... as my parents were too busy


But I don't want my kids share the same experience, so I tried my best to accompany my DS and DD while they are doing their homework or studying for exam. :imanangel:
