From news to me

News from Kuala Kangsar, Malaysia

A 5 year-old boy died with his head trapped in between a table's legs..his scream of pain was ignored as his 27 year-old father thought it was normal for an active boy like him to scream

One of the comments read:

Making babies is easy, caring for them wholeheartedly is something parents seems to be failing miserably nowadays



I agree with this..so many young parents nowadays..were they prepared to be parents before they are? For me..childhood is the golden period of one's life..if I dun have a great childhood..i will spend my older days regretting it..and there is no turning back..are u prepared to give ur child a wonderful childhood before having one? Can u ensure that ur child will have fond memories of their childhood when age spots develop on their skin?

However I also think that its so though to be the perfect parents that everybody demand them to be..its so hard to draw a line between over-protectiveness and irresponsibilities..Im glad that my mom has done the perfect balance..never ask too much of my personal things..that makes me glad to take initiative to share my stories..no strict curfew..but whenever i goes back too late she will make me guilty (unintentionally) by staying awake to wait for me (when she is supposed to sleep much earlier)..the best thing is..she never exert any pressure on me..its me who is always stress up myself..and she has to remind me just to do my best

I remember sharing this in Lifegroup on Mother's Day..when i said this to everyone..my tears were lingering in my eyes..and after the sharing session we sang Celion Dion's 'Because You Love Me'..and i tried so hard not to cry (well i feel touched very easily)

Of coz my dad is equally good..i dun have to talk to my parents as if they are my superior..although the way i talk to them seems a bit impolite..but that's because im too close to them..for me..politeness create distance among people (thats only apply to family members, bf and maybe super bestie)..our way of communciation..makes me feel really like me

What better things that i could ask for when i have such a good family and such a great childhood?
