Had a bad morning so this is good dosage... :D Anyway, I agree that most people are a few of the listing of characteristics in the top ten, never just one! Nobody's perfect...I am sure I fit somewhere. haha My only strategy when I meet parents like this is to bear with it and learn more of the ugliness so that I can ensure I don't do the same. Also, I try not to be bothered by what others do, not that I don't care about children but I believe parenting also needs to undergo a process of growing up. Some parents are still big kids themselves. heehee<BR/><BR/>qxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1109681525590028536.post-39694588608234039502009-01-22T23:36:00.000+08:002009-01-22T23:36:00.000+08:00Wah... yet another hilarious post that also hits t...Wah... yet another hilarious post that also hits the nail on the head!!!

Absolutely luuuuurve this post! Brilliant! My fingers are still jittery from all the laughing. <BR/><BR/>Love how you satirize all our annoying traits - like ermm, do you live with us or what? ... Indeed, he who laughs at himself never runs out of things to laugh at! <BR/><BR/>I second Lilian's sentiments. Yes, more Top 10 lists please!bACk in GERMANYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14398896655016654428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1109681525590028536.post-10929891806208370372009-01-22T15:44:00.000+08:002009-01-22T15:44:00.000+08:00Getai-style singing, hahahaha!!

And throughout the entire 2-hrs, the parent will give you running commentary and you feel obliged to keep saying "so cute", "so clever". Aaacckkk (that's me gagging).<BR/><BR/>PS Remind me to hide my kids' piano books when you come visit...monlimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17397210688200284987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1109681525590028536.post-76372575214298010992009-01-22T15:29:00.000+08:002009-01-22T15:29:00.000+08:00This is my favourite post by far!

Then you try to convince yourself, Noooooo, I'm not thaaaaat baaaad. Er, chances are, you are. Your list may be an extreme caricature of Singapore parents, but we all definitely have some of these traits.<BR/><BR/>There's another kind of parent... when you visit, gives you no chance for escape and proceeds to have her child (who's usually equally enthusiastic) perform her piano piece, ballet dance, getai-style singing, or makes you sit through her kid's latest kindergarten concert videos, yes, the entire 2-hour borefest.<BR/><BR/>More Top 10 list please! And thanks a bunch for this one.Lilianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10157427086383621265noreply@blogger.com
