not from my heart, but straight from my vocal cords only.
why? well.. perhaps, to those parents, or going to be future parents, maybe you should read on. and not repeat such mistakes on your future children..
chinese new year, shouldn't it be a joyous period of gathering with relatives, friends, etc??
and it turns out? into some political battle field, where different clans of relatives gang up to battle their meanest politics against another clan.. and the battle goes on .. to other groups of relatives from "the other side" [meaning, your wife/husband side],,,,,
and constant battling can be heard, things like, "why should i go over YOUR SIDE first?" ,, "why YOUR SIDE cannot come to MY SIDE first?? " ... ."Why must i always give in to YOUR SIDE".... etc etc
i mean .. this YOUR side .. vs .. MY side .. thing is really getting on my nerve..
aren't both parties to be married, and supposed to be the closest of 2 humans on Earth? and yet? YOUR SIDE, MY SIDE?? and tell people you both are a couple????
chinese new year.. a period where all historical hatred surfaces, ... a real test to any relationship...
ideally, it should be "OUR" side ....
lets go to OUR uncle house, etc etc..
and parents... dun think you are spared...
how many times you got jealous, because your own children go to "the other side" parents' house first?
how many times you flared up, because your own children must eat reunion dinner with "the other side" parents first?
again, taking "sides" , aren't we?
why.. can't things be simpler,, just "OUR" side...
all meet and eat together.. all parents from ALL sides....
i mean, its re-union dinner right?
sigh .. chinese chinese..
are they really happy?
