A BULLET
In affluent country such as Singapore, it is common to find parents acceding to their children's material needs without much thought. In some cases, the parents are rich so money is not a problem. For others, it could be a case where both parents are working and feeling guilty that they could not spend much time with their children, they hope to compensate through satisfying the material needs of their children. Whatever the reason, we must be aware that the happiness or closeness that such materials bring about is usually short-lived. Eventually, what's count is whether you are there when they needed you most. Do you offer a listening ear when they have grievances? Are you there to share their joy during joyous occasions? Are you there to lend them your shoulder when they are sad? Do you know their likes and dislikes? Do you know what's happening in their life, be it in school or even at home ? If not, then it's time for you to spend more time with your children as much as you could.
