insider:Yes insider and thank you, this yr the lessons for me seems to be 莫强求.As you age further, you will get to see more and more and then you may come to a fuller realisation that we can only do the best and 'fairness' is almost like impossible in most cases. 顺得哥来失嫂意 most of the time and so don't need to be 耿耿于怀 if certain decision made by your spouse or your kids next time is not up to your expectations. The 'points' will come around and so dont need to 强求 in anything...SAHM_TAN:
Your explanation has given me much encouragement. Thank you.

RE: When filial piety get outsourced
Thank you insider for explaining. It makes sense to me. I argar argar also think maybe that way but you have highlighted some scenarios that I have not taken into account.
Since I do not have the wisdom to understand the full picture, I can only try to do what’s right according to ancient wisdom, religion and my gut feel.
Your explanation has given me much encouragement. Thank you. -
RE: When filial piety get outsourced
I read about this in the di zi gui some time back.
It’s a rough translation base on my rough understanding at my level.
It is easy to be filial when have good parents but it is difficult to be filial to parents who are not good parents but to be filial to such parents is really the test of filial piety.
Last time, when I read about newspaper articles about how parents were abandoned and then more digged up background that they were not good parents, etc, etc, although I feel that it is sad they end up in such a situation, there was a degree of feeling of reaping what they had sowed. But now I feel I shouldn’t feel this way becos parents are parents no matter what happened. -

Hi insider,
I’m being lazy here, I should study but taking the easy way out by asking you.
If child is to 讨债 and parents have to pay, will the the debt ends if parents pay with no ill-feelings or the cycle con’t becos the child couldn’t be filial? -
RE: Lunch
Had the best wanton mee that I have ever had ever.
hubby taboa it for lunch.
I can’t imagine how it would have tasted if I had it on the spot, how many times more shiok can it be? LOL
Hubby bought it from the coffee shop nearest to Old Airport Road Hawker Centre.
We visited it the other day and it was closed. Today hubby asked about the opening hours and was told, the owner opens for biz as and when he wants to. How nice to be able to be so 随意. -

RE: 杨六斤
Hi insider,
Thanks for explaining.
Hmmmmm regarding the fat or slim part, not sure how to score LOL becos though I want to slim down becos overweight liao BUT becos I’m overweight that I have chance to see ds’ filial piety, at his level, towards me.
I have a pair of shoes with straps and need to bend to put it on. But since I overweight now it is a bit difficult to put them on. I was surprised the first time ds bend and help me to put on the shoes and make sure my feet are probably into the shoes.
It is such insight into his little heart that helps me bear his very, very, very, very mischievous nature. He’s mischievous is the type that will cause me to want to bury my head in public kind sigh.
Maybe I will put higher score in the children house heehee.
