Ties that bind us all

Read this article by Neil Humphreys. Some of the interesting things he mention.

1. Just being with your parents is enough- even if they do drive you up the wall

2.Filial piety is taken seriously in Singapore

3.When you see your parents every morning, you may take them for granted. Don't fell guilty;it is inevitable

4.And honestly, parents can drive you in sane

5.In your 20s, they will tell u to do stuff, make your bed, eat properly, sit up. In your 30s to 40s, they will tell u not to do things

6.Leaving home wasn't just an option but a necessary escape route.Stretch my wings, be independent.Master my own destiny

7. This my favourite - My mother will mutter something about towels left on the floor and the unmade beds to which i will be forced to retort : "mum, it's my bloody room"

8.The sweetest part - Fair enough , that would have been me 15 years ago.Now i can't wait to have breakfast with my parents.We will row over burnt toast,cold tea, no milk.It will be perfect.Just being with your parents is enough.

Wow, well written.

Cheers.
