I never had much of a family if you didn’t know by now. My dad was never much at home – maybe once a year – not even during chinese new year – and my mom well – she was very much into the boys/brothers. So when I met PB online – he used to comfort me and said .. his parents will be my parents – that was very sweet of him eh.
Chloe is a very loving girl – in fact the older she gets – the closer she is with her grandparents – which had been my plan all along. Family bonding is very important to me for Chloe – more important than PB getting use to the project management software he just bought and playing constantly with. I have to constantly remind him and myself that Chloe isn’t gonna be this young forever because I remember how much i used to envy my neighbour’s family or my school mates ones.
If I had to drop everything to be with Chloe – I would – no doubt about it – if you don’t think it will affect them you better think about it .. because till today – i still think about how little time my parents had for me. It’s a constant regret for me.. that I never got to know my parents well enough nor give them enough hugs because they don’t practice nor encourage it. Therefore, with Chloe – she is a totally different story. What about you and your kids..?? don’t let them grow up thinking that their parents didn’t care too much about them eh.
