How many parents actually have time to bring their kids to the playground and actually play with their kids?
My parents certainly didn't have time other than their weekends, and since my mom was always sick (she died of cancer when I was 10), my dad spent most of his time looking for money.
My theory is that parents tend to splurge their kids on things that they themselves had little of growing up. Never had toys? Betcha' kids have tons of toys now. Grew up malnourished? Your kids are a bit on the heavy side with frequent trips to McD and KFC..
Me? Well my kid gets to spend a lot of time with me. But I do fear that when I am no longer around, they'll lose direction and not be independent enough to carry themselves through. As long as they stick together as a unit, and take care of each other's backs, I'm ok with that.
Yeop Din, please take care of your sister and Mom when I kick the bucket. Be a decent man of principles and know your purpose in life. I will always pray for you.
