Because most parents' (esoecially SAHM) lives revolve around the kids, once our kids start to be independent and spend less time at home, our lives slowly becomes \"half life\" and eventually \"no life\".. That is why it is important for us to have our own friends and hobbies..

But to the kids, i think it is from \"no life\" (always staying at home studying and listening to our nagging) to \"FULL life\" (staying in school, going out with friends, doing the things they like to do, SANS parents)! :rotflmao:

Think this is cos of birthdate of Kiasuparents.com, and hence the demographics of the Kiasu parents here. Most of us have primary sch-going kids. Correct me if I am wrong.

If she comes back home ~7/8pm that will leave us no time for tuition. If she didn't finish her hw in school that's her time management problem and she has to due with it.... stay up late to finish :scared:

That will also give me more time to :pokeeye: my friends who have pri sch kids... :rotflmao: just joking lah..... which will give me back my Full Life again..... :rahrah:

:rotflmao:

Just realized that when parents are lamenting about having \"half life\" in primary schools and \"no life\" in secondary schools, they are (unconsciously) referring to their own lives, not their children's lives.. I am sure the kids are having a jolly good time of their lives in Sec Schs!
