It sucks! The problem with grown-up kids nowadays is that they don't care about others except themselves. Every now and then they will give you surprises. What do I mean? Fyn has decided and volunteered herself to join the charity mission to Laos for 3 weeks in December. Not only that, she announced in a confrontation manner that she will be heading to US to work for 3 months during her vacation next year. In a way, she was merely informing us and not seeking our permission and opinion. Sad, very sad. After so many years of education, where are the manners and respect for the parents?
We have reluctantly give our blessing on her Laos trip but not the latter. As parents, we are concerned with her safety. How reliable is her agency? Probably she had lost her soul when she told Margaret that she won't be calling home when in Laos.
Smily isn't any better. He will be visiting his friend in Melbourne for 2 weeks in November. Only consolation is that he is not back-packing. He is above 21 and telling us is just a formality.
Well, I believe they will be asking for money which is not a major issue. No more surprises please for it's not easy to give a negative reply. It pains us to see our children disappointed. Which parent don't care and love their children? Sigh........................
