Today, I just recalled my kids complaint about freedom when they were 7 or 8. I always replied to them that parents lost their freedom once their kid/s arrived into the family. I encountered another case of parent giving up their oversea assignment as their kids decided to stay in Singapore. It is hard for the kids to understand how much their parent make scarifies for them. I also have numerous conversation over dinner with my kids on this oversea assignment. It never ended well as the kids vote me out.
I envy those family who brought kids for their assignment. I see their family bonding improved and overall exposure for the kids increased. It is hard for the kids to see the opportunity for parents. As like most parent, kids come first. If they are not happy, my wife and I will not be happy.
Despite my feeling over parental love, I find the following 3 things that my kids make me smile today:
1) Fetch Jerry from school and heard him screaming inside his school "Daddy!" His teacher commented how he always tell his friend about "my daddy says this and daddy says that".
2) Played a new game with Daryl in iPhone and shared a lot of fun moment to break the records.
3) Nicole decided to run with me around my neighbourhood.
