National serviceman needs maid to carry his backpack
To each and everyone
It has been a real pleasure to learn and share with parents here on education and other matters for almost seven months.
As with all material things, there must be an end. On this occassion, i would like to conclude my journey with KiasuParents.com with this final posting. Some here may be happy to see this notice.
Wishing all parents here with joys in bringing up their loved ones.
Lord Bless!

Cool... scholar-to-be.... but haven't enlisted... so I'll refrain from comments that will burst his SAF bubble...INNOVATE wrote: My ds will be called for enlistment next year after he finishes his jc education. He has recently indicated his ambition to vie for a PSC scholarship with SAF as his ultimate choice. Personally, i take pride in his ambition and am thankful for it. These are some of the reasons why i view SAF as a sacred instituition and not as just another instituition.
Daddy D, your suggestion makes me laugh. FYI, i am just an ordinary woman well-informed in education and financial matters. You are long enough here to observe it.
Surprised to see a woman with such passionate views on SAF
FYI, I didn't take the time to observe your posts in other threads.

Ditto for some other SAF formations.
But we hv never been battle tested as a conventional force.
Some men do breakdown n cry in battle.
Nothing can prepare one for dis except going thro' it.
It is a very traumatic experience to see your mates blown up in bits n pieces.
An MO dat I served with told me dat to expose d medical staff to such sight,
they shoot pigs to do triage n it's not a pretty sight.

I think institutions that can't withstand some jibbing cannot see the big picture. SAF can fight its own battles.
For all that's worth, my family and I are patriots who fully support the work of our Army.
For all it's worth, I certainly believe that NS is one of the cornerstones of nation building. I'm be one proud dad when the time comes for my ds to perform his tour of service.
However, having said that, I do not subscribe to the view that it should be beyond or immune to criticism. To think otherwise smacks of intolerance and high-handedness.

I find that toddlers want to do things themselves but if their independence is taken over then they will learn to rely on others. So when my DS wants to bathe himself, I let him. I tell him in the morning he bathe then when he's back from kindy, it will be my turn. This way I can get over my need to ensure he is clean and he can have his independence. I'm still paying for my feeding mistake but there's progress. Now whenever he wants to do things himself I let him not matter how frustrating it is for me Waiting for a 3.5yos to wear his shoes can be hair tearing experience.mng_kl wrote:IF I gonna have this kind of son [army boy]; I wld rather to have daughters!
I even train my own DDs to be more independent at their age now, 1.5yo & 4.5 yo 8)
