      On the sec Sch workload, hectic life etc.....since I cannot predict what will come & neither can i control it, shall do what I'm best at :evil:


      Wait & accept what's coming, then see what I can do about it. :imcool:

      Like some mentioned, maybe kids will be motivated & excited & willingly embrace his/her new school life & independence. Just make sure all my 'strings' are still intact and hands are open for them to grab whenever they need to.

      Arrrrrr, My boy is growing up.....have to let go soon (not just referring to schoolwork) :sad: just dun bring any girlfriend home b4 18yo. The Mommy not ready to compete for that kind of attention yet :rotflmao:

          Hi parents,

          After surviving this 'amazing race' (ie PSLE), it's time to let go to give him room to grow. Sec 1 should be fun and hope he matures.

          When he goes to sec school, his peers' influence will be stronger than my words. Will need to adopt a different approach with him. :frustrated: :nailbite: TEENAGE years.
          Yes.
          Sec school is more like an adventure - it wont be easy, it wont be boring either , the thrills and spills, ups and downs
          And you will soon be delegated to the role of a supporter, spectator, provider.
          So even if it seems crazy, enjoy this PSLE madness while it lasts. Sort of like labour - I wouldnt want to go thru it again, but looking back it was a memorable experience. Something I woundnt have wanted to miss. šŸ˜†

            Alamak :slapshead: with 1B1G just a year+ apart, probably I'll be facing such issues from both kids at the same time.....
            Hope easy easy, not too much headache type. :skeptical:

            Look at it this way, You dont have to go thru it twice.
            Just once and then you can relax if you survive that is hehe šŸ˜‰

            Not wanting to add to pressure, but generally girls hit it faster than boys, so if your DS is older (i think right?) then .... šŸ˜“

            Yap, boy older by 1+year. That's why I suspect I will see double trouble cos girl generally 'mature' faster. Again, what may come is unknown. No point getting all worked up.....wait & see. Who knows, maybe wait until fall asleep cos my DD ever say she dun want to get married (she's only P5 hor).

              I treasure every moment with her now when she is still ok with hugging, holding hands , etc. And DH and I are going to celebrate her last children's day with her before she is \"officially\" declared a teenager next year . šŸ˜„

                But I also want to add - that my niece is distancing herself from her bro who is one year younger, and her dad too. Just P5. Hug your daughters more while you can, daddies! But I guess this may not happen to every girls...just a stage, I suppose.

                        actually, this avatar which i'm adopting now in ksp, is created by dd1 as part of her digital art school activity. :love:


                        It does have a sort of freshness about it that makes it so charming.
                        It is so sweet of your DD to give it to you :love: .

                        :thankyou: Sun. She was very pleased that I decided to use it as my avatar šŸ˜‰
