what happened to your "do it because you love your parents 1 page ago?"
and in case you haven't realised this, people without kids are more rational when it comes to dealing with them. especially those not belonging to their families
based on what you've posted here I say you're both a shitty parent and a lousy kid
I think you are taking a very narrow minded approach to this topic. Given you are only a CHILD to your parents.. and not being a parent yourself... your view on this subject is ONE sided.. that's from a child point of view ONLY.
Mine is from a PARENT point of view. When I retire.. where will I want to be, what will I want to do., how do I want to live as a retired PARENT.
So I think it's important you understand this topic from a DIFFERENT point of view.. not just yours as a child.
May I ask, HOW would you want to retire ?
Regards to fillial piety.. all I have to say is this.... fillial piety takes on a whole different meaning the moment you become a parent. Sadly, this is something you as a childless person will never get to understand.

We are a democratic nation, excuse you.
Luleil, I have to warn you tho.. this John Wong thread is meant as a Trolling thread..
So don't take things too seriously when you post in this one.

sadly? why? I have no intention within foreseeable future to be a parent. I don't see anything sad about that.
fillial piety has the same meaning , involving the same things with or without children. the meaning doesn't change. you do feel differently but the meaning does not change.
by that, the topic itself have a very narrow outcome. there is simply no other meaning or view to this subject.
feeling differently about something due to different circumstances isn't going to change the colour of the sky

We can argue until the cow comes home.. as long as you are stuck in your current mindset and unable to see the world from a different perspective... your expectations will remain as it is..
It is indeed a shame you choose to not have kids... life takes on a different dimension onces you become a parent. Even my husband realised it.. and he admits that being a parent is a life changing experience.
Yes, the color of the sky does change .. into different shades and hues.. it is still blue.. but you see different types of blue... that is something you will not get to see until you walked in my shoes.

Ok. Ok. Your name is not John Wong , your name is Limpeh kah you.
I also enjoy trolling a troll in my free time mah. That's why I frequent your nonsense thread lor.

yes but so? I do not think that it's a shame.
even marriage is hard.... looking at the choices. singapore's overpopulated anyway.
parenthood is the sort of thing you appreciate only if you have, not because it's awesome. it's a phase of life.
it's nothing if it doesn't happen.

Oh. now you claim to be a guy ? Didn't you claimed to be a mother with one child and another on the way ?
Strange how you can't make up your mind and stick to it ?
So what are you exactly ?

Of cors. You cannot miss what you never had.
Marriage and child raising is a lot of work. But it's also very rewarding.
Marriage + Children + effort = rewards
No marriage + No children = no effort + no rewards
Marriage + Children + NO efforts = no rewards
The equation is very simple. You actually get to choose what kind of outcome.
Those who doesn't want a family.. shouldn't start one.. because they will NOT put in effort and they also won't appreciate what they get out of it.
trolling good times.
