Changes In Children

... I spotted a mum and a pre-teen son, arm in arm and walking down the NTUC aisle. I don't know about you, but it shows total comfort with one another and a confidence that shouts \"watch, me world!\" :celebrate:
Wah, so heartwarming to read this! Yah last week during orientation and the daily pickups, my son kept pointing me out to his friends. By Friday, they all know me already lah, but I felt so happy to see him so proud of me!! :love: :love: :love: -

Way to go Blobbi...your DS's a gem! :love: Mebbe few years down the road, it's you and DS arm-in-arm! I often get warm and fuzzy witnessing these scenes. It's easier for dads and daughters to walk hand in hand, give massage while waiting in queue...but not so much for moms and sons. Perhaps we need to teach our boys well too :celebrate:

Hi 2ppaamm, it is a very sweet and precious personal experience that you are sharing. Yes I do know about Gary Chapman’s Five Love Languages. You have provided me with further insights into my plight. I am hopeful that I can pull through or hang on until I get my daughter back.
I once felt I was the only one who is facing such a problem but now feel much confidence to face it. What I am trying to say is thank you all for letting me know that I am not alone.
My Sec 1 DD1 will not hold my hand in public but only at home eventhough I walked her home sometimes. I enjoy the 20 or so minutes ride with her to school in the morning…however I am the one who have to initiate the conversation all the time. A lot of questions are replied simply by ‘ok, lah’ very short and sharp. Sigh. -
Bear.w.me:
'ok, lah' very short and sharp. Sigh.
Ha ha ha! They will get through that period also... Now, I have to ask them to keep quiet so I can drive. Talk to me at the traffic lights. -

Harder for father-and-son! I'll wait to see that! But yes! I agree! It's so great to have your kid point you out. They are proud of you... Keeps me thinking how great it is to be a mother... despite all the mistakes I've made, I must have done something to deserve their love. Strength to keep on going hor? -

Tks guys. These are such sweet years, and before we know it, they'll be overAndaiz:

Talk about the mistakes I've made in the name of being a good parent, aiyo. So far, the best way about it seems to be to offer lots of patience, good moral guidance, and then leave them to simmer things out for themselves. Sometimes, I wonder if it's us \"training\" our kids or them training us!! -
:lol: Funny how you put it Blobbi.. :lol:

They are training us to be better parents.

They are training us to be better parents.
