I totally agree with the majority of posts here; which is we should not pamper our kids too much. It makes them weak. However, I've a query here regarding something that I came across a few times in this thread; something that is quite unrelated to this topic actually.
So just to satisfy my curiosity, what's this thing about making kids wash their undies but not other clothing? This aroused my curiosity because I recalled my grandma used to separate man & woman's undies when she got the helper to wash them.
Markfch, my ex-grandmother-in-law claims that my ex-husband clothes and undies to be seperately washed coz she claims that woman's clothes and undies will bring bad luck to the man.. make the man jobless and SUAY!!! :x To avoid further fights with tat old lady.. She wash her dearest grandson's clothes and undies.. claiming it will bring luck!! :siao: sad to say.. till now her precious grandson is still refuse to work.. no career still.. -

In this case, the PC is a Warrant Officer. BMT sch may still had that system. [quote]OK I rate ur story:

\"Oh wait, my PC would like to speak to you\" *note that the PC here eventually was promoted and became RSM of NDP 2010. (OT a bit)
.....
RSM is normally a senior non-commissioned other rank.
Care to elaborate?
Sergeant J
Politeness: A
Care for soldier: D[/quote]Thank you for ranking me as care for soldier as D and as politeness A. Incidently, the mother of Recruit Z wrote a letter to the CO of the camp thanking me for 'taking care of her son' because I was the only sergeant that visited him when he was attend c sick bay and take care of him during BMT. But that is another story. [quote]PC
Initiative: C

Hello.
Orh thank you thank you
Anyway this is the kind of context that maybe the unfortunate recruit is in. Maybe he twisted 'something' and cannot carry heavy loads so his maid got to carry for him when they are out of camp.
Side note: Maybe next time the photog can snap a picture of a man carrying handbag for his gf, then there would be a great debate about men carrying handbag for their wive / gf in Singapore...

Trust me, the image of a man carrying a woman's handbag will not cause a ruckus half as big as this one. If a man is happy to carry his darling's handbag, then it's really a private affair between the two of them.

But when a guy in army uniform allows a maid (foreigner) to carry his backpack, it becomes a national embarrassment - if there's no valid reason for him to do so - because that uniform represents our country and our pride. -

Errrrrr, shouldn't be all leh ....

I did (b4 marriage) and do (at present) NOT let my DH carry my handbag.
I myself cannot tahan when I see that happening - what a sore sight !!!
But actually hor, I feel that that the guy should 'man up' and say no when asked. For those who volunteer ... well, I have nothing to say but good luck cuz you are digging your own grave
My 2 cents .... -

Why in the world did his mother ask the maid to follow him in the first place? For goodness sake, that is a NS man. The maid can wash his uniform and polish his boots at home but not carry his army backpack for anyone to see...unfortunately for this young man, pic was taken. I don't ask hubby to carry my bag bcos it doesn't look nice. But perfectly ok if he carries grocery bags.
