Secure a place in a so called good school will not guarantee good grades for the child.


Parents have to put in effort as well, I have a friend who spend a few k per month for enrichment classes for the kids. Not only that, she quit her job to spend at least 4 hrs to coach her kids daily.

I think she's going to groom her kids to be a scholar just like their daddy

Your hb seems to be bottling up his feelings n bursting at the wrong time and way. There is definitely a communication problem between both of you.


It takes luv, time, patience to mend the bridge and to re-kindle the lovely-dovey feel again. Ask yourself, do you still luv him? if so, change your mindset before u can influence him to mellow too.

Since his sis is staying with you, why not just leave the kids at her care while both of u go for a date, movie, nice dinner and take this opportunity to communicate? Even with kids, it will be nice for couples to go for a date at least once a fortnight.

At times when he raise his tone unconsiciously, calm him down by touching/stroking his arms saying \"dear, the kids are around, can we just talk about it in a subtle manner\"?...talk things out in a mature n calm manner, understand both point of view..listen before voicing out your opinions. Sometimes when we are in a heat of anger, we say things that we do not mean it n hurt each other.

Lastly, don't walk away without talking things though... all issues can be solve thru communication n by saying :imsorry: at times doesn't mean tt we lose .. it's tt we treasure the r/s than our face..

Take a step back n things are not as serious as what u've tot.. im sure both of u still luv each other. Don't give up trying n all best for 2012

I do try to bring my parents out to tour at least once a year, full expenses by me. My hb or bro wont join…but then it’s alright. I just want to be filial to them.


My philosophy is to treasure the time with our parents, nothing lasts forever…there’s no need to be calculative especially towards our family.
