Family Bonding

Filed under: Brat Stuff, Amusing/Musing, Family/From the Heart - Mama BoK @ 12:35 pm

I never had much of a family if you didn’t know by now. My dad was never much at home - maybe once a year - not even during chinese new year - and my mom well - she was very much into the boys/brothers. So when I met PB online - he used to comfort me and said .. his parents will be my parents - that was very sweet of him eh.

Chloe is a very loving girl - in fact the older she gets - the closer she is with her grandparents - which had been my plan all along. Family bonding is very important to me for Chloe - more important than PB getting use to the project management software he just bought and playing constantly with. I have to constantly remind him and myself that Chloe isn’t gonna be this young forever because I remember how much i used to envy my neighbour’s family or my school mates ones.

If I had to drop everything to be with Chloe - I would - no doubt about it - if you don’t think it will affect them you better think about it .. because till today - i still think about how little time my parents had for me. It’s a constant regret for me.. that I never got to know my parents well enough nor give them enough hugs because they don’t practice nor encourage it. Therefore, with Chloe - she is a totally different story. What about you and your kids..?? don’t let them grow up thinking that their parents didn’t care too much about them eh.

  1. I am with you, Jan. I strongly believe it’s important to spend time and bond with your children. With both my children, I am lucky to have been able to take time off from work (13 months for Ash and 3 years for Caitlin) to spend time with them in their 1st years. The parenting style of our generation is very different to our parents. I want my children to grow up, always knowing that I would love them no matter what is the situation and that they can come and tell me things even if I may get angry, but we will work through anything together.
