This is a first!

Hello all!


You might be surprised but I am not a parent. I am a young adult of legal age to start a family but I am still far from it. (At least until I get a girlfriend first.) I am currently studying in a university. SIM rather.

My purpose here is to find out more about parenting as I am quite interested in it. Funny how it may sound for someone my age but I do believe that how someone grows up to be entirely depends on how a parent can nurture his kid.

Truth be told, part of my resents my parents for their way of parenting and I am here to find out if I can improve my relationship with them. Pretty hefty words from a kid eh? Haha. But I believe its all about the communication and how to convince them to think like you.

Parenting is like marketing isn’t it? Not as in going to the wet market kind of marketing, but rather like business marketing where one convinces the other with a sales pitch. So being able to charm your children and subtly "coercing" them into your mindset is a skill and a good skill to learn. Therefore, I am here hoping to gain knowledge from you all and perhaps with a little luck, my future kids (Still no luck with the girlfriend part) will be able to appreciate me more.

Your humorous young adult,

Welcome to KSP.

p/s: sometimes the girlfriend part comes with a bit of luck, fate and plenty of courage.

Thanks for the warm welcome.


Though I have several questions. Is there like a thread in here which explains all the acronyms which you mummies use cos I am seriously lost. I see so many acronyms and I feel confused. Even you moms are more trendy than me. I feel like an old man now. Haha!

p.s: Luck? Don’t have. Fate? Don’t believe. Courage? Have but recently like no chance to use ah. LOL~

You are welcome.
Don't worry about not being handsome. Guys have a longer 'shelf-life' than girls :yikes: and easier to shine with charisma, confidence and sincerity.
See you around too.

Thanks a lot. Perhaps with a teenager/young adult, you mummies are able to get a more diverse opinion on how things are.

welcome! Interesting


Nuh, I don't think Parenting is \"Marketing\" at all :rotflmao: , if it is then Parenting would be a much easier \"job\"

sometimes I do wonder if they are some form of Karma or trying to break me into someone I can't be. :siam:

Being a parent requires discipline, patience, you can't be tardy or messy , priorities are shifted towards them. You can't help but try to fulfill :faint: , I do know my life turned upside down for sure :rotflmao:
