Reality

I had lunch at Manila Place at Gurney Plaza today.

Seated to my left was a family with 3 kids, one of whom was autistic. On my right was a family with a healthy single child.

Both families treated their kids well and often pampered them.

So I wondered: if I had any kids of my own, how would I treat my kids?

In my opinion, I would be a lousy parent. I would be hyper-protective and hyper-sensitive where it comes to my kids. That's how I am with my swimmers today.

I guess some people, like myself, were never meant to be parents.
