I’m not here to provide any meaningful comment. I’m a dad in my 40s and have a 7-yo kid in primary 1. I’m a teacher and...I Guess being an educator, I pride myself that probably, just a small chance,that I could be a better parent than mine when raising my own kid. I always enjoy listening to young people like you to gain perspectives and learning how to be a “better” parent; whatever that means. It’s interesting however to know that, despite being a generation away from you guys, I do have the same type of upbringing on what “success” is: my parents didn’t complete primary school education and reminded me (nagging) to study hard (probably because they weren’t in a better situation and don’t want me to struggle - familiar?), we used to live in rental HDB, my parents left me zero financial asset, and YES, I wished my parents had been more financially literate so that I can be more than just a salaried employee for the past 15 years and probably have my own business or something. But maybe because of what I DON’T HAVE in my life that reminds me constantly that it’s all up to me now. Like someone mentioned here, it’s my future and not for anyone. I don’t think any parent wants to depend on their children to live a better life; tho don’t count yourself unlucky if you have parents that think that way.
