MISTAKE.....

[Meecar]

for those who are married

 

your kids are they a MISTAKE ....

 

(I meant unplanned for)

 

kids nowadays a huge financial drain

 

their tution fee and enrichment classes cost more than my daily office means

 

 

what a headache

[Achtung]

Yes, they are a financial drain. But everything I do is for them and its worth it!

[Meecar]

DO you expect to take of you when they grow up

[Achtung]

Such things we wont know...

[Twnll]

Everything in life, there are opportunity costs

 

You live your life the way you want it to be

 

Don't blame kids, inlaws and growing old

 

Its all part of life

 

You never live your life until you have kids

 

You can have kids and live within your means

 

Perhaps the biggest mistake is growing old and regreting the things you could have done and never did because it seems like a mistake then

[Familymanz]

maybe ur parent also think likewise

[Familymanz]

for me.... I think my only mistake is to have the 2nd kid 5 years after the 1st....

 

now....really feel like an old man, when doing the same chores as 5 years back

[Meecar]

very well said

[Meecar]

the interval should be 3 years apart

 

that how i timed mine

[Twnll]

I beat you leh, first kid now sec 2, second kid now 13 months old! After first one, try, try, try also never happen. then it happened! Never too late ah?

i read somewhere that 4 out of 5 are mistakes

 

i do enjoy my kids very much

 

the reason for the thread is that

 

when kids were not around many do not know the joy (also the pain)

 

but how the kids are brought up is actually a reflection of us parents

[Meecar]

you sounded very young

 

are you in your late 20's

Not true that you have not lived until you have kids. Fulfillment exists in many ways.

 

I've also seen MANY wish that they did not get married. Worse... they wished that they don't have the kids they have now!

[Meecar]

wise observations

[Throttle2]

I choose to have a kid and probably will have another.

It's no mistake.

 

A kid is not unlike owning a car , only more xiong.

Car you can sell, buang also never mind. kid cannot.

If you dont plan well, having a kid will drain not only financial resources it will give you mental stress.

 

To each his own on a decision to have kids or not.

I can only say that it is one of life's most endearing experiences.

[Meecar]

SO true

 

but we must also remember that kids nowadays are very different from kids of our times
