      hee, the talk I was mentioning tonight is on problems faced by kids when growing up. See if got chance, I will try to broach the question with the speaker (but don't hold your breath, I quite shy one).


      Perhaps it may be good to sever ties if they are not particularly keen on seeing your kids. it could be double trauma if the father's other family is there and your kids witness a difference in the way they are being treated. For the angbao, just take it they give wrong packet...no point pondering on it.

      With your kids, or rather with your son, I would focus on just chatting with him - not interrogating. Build up a picture of what he want his future to be and help him work towards it. no point screaming at him or scolding him. He may be indulging in his youthful folly at this time - if we take it too seriously, it could injure his pride. Show that you love him (not by pandering to him but rather show attention to him and caring for him).

      btw, I don't know the full story, just piecing bits and pieces based on what I read/learnt from books etc. Sorry if I misfired. πŸ˜›

        but i guess whatever it is to his family i am now the biggest jerk cause i have stop the cny vist rather then being made to feel unwelcome i rather not go at all.

        And guess what that jerk n idiot plus his family is all hopeless like for cny last yr they gave boy $20 for ang pow gave dd $8 see the diffrence i dont know what they are trying to do.
        How your DS feels about you not bringing them to visit his paternity relatives during CNY? Was he looking forward to it every year? Could it be affecting him when you didn't bring him this year? Sometimes we still need to bring the kids for CNY visit even though you dont feel welcome by them. Your DS might think you are depriving him or worst trying to break his ties with his father's side.

          The thing is the KIDS are the one who do not want to go, ds said nainai house is dirty and smelly ( which is true cause no one cleans) and even if i go he will not even talk to me so go for what.

          As for dd she said she only got 1 daddy n no nainai ( current hubby is a orphan).

          They want to go they can just ask i will let them go no question ask i respect their decision.

          is too late nw even if my inlaws want to mend anything be it with me or with the kids, when they told me to divorce my hubby and ask thier own youngest son to divorce his wife so as to let my ex n the woman be married to each other they have with their 2 pair of dirty hands and weird mindset destroyed the whole family.

              they even stayed under the same roof for awhile talk about weird i guess this tops the cake i am lucky i left with my head held high it took me a while to trust in love again.

              My dh n me never planned to be together it just happen out of nowhere its the unconditional not asking for anything in return the ears he let me poured on and joke is it was dd who confirmed hes the one, cause dd is a introvert she has never taken to any of my frnes be it a guy or girl i had suitors before i met dh after my divorce dd never geled up to them nor ds but when she set her eyes on dh is a diffrent story u see them today u will never suspect she isnt his flesh n blood.

              she took to him like fish to water and asked him so i guess u are the perfect daddy ya. :please: :please: :please: :please: :please: :please:

              we dated for a while and dh is the guy who my whole family gave the nod of approval before we went on to marriage blissfully married for 2yrs and we are still going strong.

              all nw wht i ask for is ds to be ok be it whatever the assenter maybe i will take it and work on it.

                Oic. So we can rule that out since it's your DS who decided not to go. Since we don't really know what he is thinking, the only thing we can do is to continue to support him & stay positive. Hopefully he will \"snap out\" of his way & concentrate on his study. All the best to you & your DS in his PSLE this year!

                    sorry everyone i was sick down with a very bad case of ear infection.

                    DS is officially diagonised with mild adhd so now is wait for the next appt to further up see wat can be done.

                    And for now i am glad god has open up new doors as ds is in the befrinders club at school till 5pm every fri there is this nice teacher who has step in and said i will take him off ur hands give him personal tuition and prep talk every sat morning and dd will be going as well is at a church near my place.

                    they have their own bunch of tutors to help out and at least can give me a few hrs to breath.

                    my ex heard from someone that his son is sick and now tata the blame game has started again he said is all my fault whatever cannot be bothered to reason with some one who shrinks away.

                      for someone to 搞 his own bro’s wife, I’m sure his thinking is absolutely different from most of us!
