I feel that you are sprouting rubbish on this thread.
If you hve nothing much to contribute in this instance, would appreciate you refrain from posting on this occassion. -
yes! saw this post and i was thinking..finally got a chance to write what i wanted to want!
to all KSP parents out here, whether you have DS or DD, i really feel our generation of parenting has been \"pampering\" / slaves to our kids & hence they will be too sheltered! Is time to re-think the way we bring up our kids...
I told my maid never to carry bag for my DS cause I do not want my boy to be so spoilt. The bag is usually not heavy, all i need is my maid to bring my son safely to school. I also told my boy to return his cup, plate & bowl to the basin by himself after he finish, never put in on the table and expect maid to clear it up, etc
The picture of the NS walking and his maid carrying his bag really disgust me. But this is what happened when we pamper and serve out kids too much.
I know alot of parents nowadays only have one or two precious kids, hence the pampering. But is this the way we want to bring up our kids, to be \"weak\" and dependent on people until they finish their education or even when they enter work force? I want to laugh at a remark recently, one of my gf's mum commented to her relatives that her kids never give her monthly money...the daughter heard it and reply to the mother, \"you are lucky that I did not ask you for any money already\"
I know times are getting tougher and more expensive for our kids but seriously by pampering them so much till to this extend in NS, 18 or 19 yrs old, still rely on maid to carry bag, we are really weakening the weak, they will not grow stronger until they have the chance to do so...
so parents, esp those with maids...try to let our kids do more things by themselves instead of relying on the maids, for eg; tidying up their bed when they wake up (talking abt kids who have start Primary), not carrying their bags for them when they are walking to school and maybe by P4, should let them go to school by themselves if they are not taking sch buses. -

I feel especially sad on the posting from jessicawongcs.
SAF is a sacred instituition which is extremely vital for the survival of our nation. All servicemen/women whether regulars, NS or NSF are on standby 24/7 and must be prepared to lay their lifes in service of our nation as enstrined in our constituition. Every service personnel must take an oath pledging allegiance to our nation.
To take the opportunity to coerce others in making fun of SAF personnel in a pubic forum like here is rather unbecoming of a responsible citizen/PR/FT. Even if you do not appreciate the contributions from our servicemen/women, on this occassion, i have to educate you that is because of a strong SAF that we can have peace and security to bring up the next generation, our careers, homes and lifestyles. Without a reliable SAF, there's completely no future for Singapore.
There's a limit to jokes and i see as breaching of ethics by taking portshots of service personnel in a sacred instituition in this instance. -
I suppose end of the day the NS guy and the maid should not be blame.. The parents should be blame.. In Singapore its such a common sight.. Having maid carrying bags for kids.. feed kids.. pick up things when kids drop it.. Some parents pamper their kids so much that by the time their kids turn P1, teachers are still expected to clean their ass after biz..
Perhaps some parents should try to let their kids do their own stuff themselves instead of depending so much on the maid.. Guess to this NS boy its juz common that his maid carries his bag.. Afterall after book out or gg to book in NS life is tiring enough to endure awhile more to have his bag carried to his destination.
End of the day some parents should review if they had overly pampered on their kids and overly depended on maid. Sometimes we need to let go to let our kids grow up.. :love: -

Of course best not bleed too lah

One time, my DS (3.5yos) was carrying his bag to kindy, he told me his bag was heavy (since he is in N2, he still carry extra clothings in case of accidents). I offered to help and he said no. Although I was worried, I let him be. Am glad with my decision.I suppose end of the day the NS guy and the maid should not be blame.. The parents should be blame..

ummm, on the topic of crying, our MM also did so on national TV once. I would say it all depends on the circumstance why tears were involved. Despite that event, I don’t think anyone would dare say our ‘enemies’ are scared of us becos he shed some tears.
I don’t know the actual situation of that crying nsman, and that’s that. -

The only acceptable reason that I can think for him to let his maid carry his backpack is that he has an excuse from his medic to excuse from carrying backpack because of injury of some sort. If this is the case, very soon there will be another news report stating itNot wise for us to draw any conclusion just on the basis of the photograph provided. Its best to let his superiors investigate and take appropriate action to prevent future recurrence.
I symphatise with the young man in the picture who has lots of explaination to do to account for such behaviour in public.
In the meantime, its not apporpriate to bash him in pubic forum as we do not know the actual circumstances of this incident. -

I remembered once, during tutorial we discussed about MM's tears when we were separated from M'sia.ummm, on the topic of crying, our MM also did so on national TV once.

Tears can be dropped but not lightly dropped but maybe I'm out of step since we have the SNAG and the metrosexual man.
