Proud of Jason

Hi,

Early this year, when we visited our family dentist, the dentist asked me if the teenage boy that she just treated is my son. ( I normally go into the dentist treatment room with Jas but thought that he is old enough to be on his own since it was a simple cleaning job. )

I confirmed that I am his father and she told me that Jas is a very pleasant and polite teenager. She commented that it is difficult to find such well mannered teenagers these days.

I felt proud, of course, but then thought that the dentist was just being too polite.

Some time later, I met Jas's teacher-in-charge in the Parent-Teacher session in his Poly. Again, she started by saying that Jas is a very nice student and shows respect to the teachers. She is very happy with him.

Of course, I am very proud of him indeed.....2nd time round with such good feedback about him!

Later, when I sent him off on his Poly Study Trip to Vietnam at the Changi Airport, his subject Lecturer also commented that Jas is a very pleasant boy in her class.

Wow! 3 times that I received such favourable feedback on Jason.....really made me proud of him.

Do not get me wrong..... I am not claiming that my wife & I are the best parents...!

BUT we must have done something right and giving Jas the right guidance all these years.

Well, so far, he is getting along fine in Poly which has a very different system from secondary school or Junior College.

I can see that you're reading stuff to improve on family relationship etc.

Think you'll really make a good father in the family.
Hope my future husband would do the same as you! Haha!

Don't neglect your wife alright? Must love your wife equally as your son!


God bless!

Hi Jessica,

Thanks for your comments.

I try my best to be as good a father as I think I should.

No magic formula or manual for it but just the willingness to try hard and spend time with the child.

Yes, I have also try to be a good husband too.

Our priority is our son but we have been advised to give higher priority to oursleves as we are freehold property but the son is only leased property; ie my wife and I will be together till one of us goes first but our son will leave us once they reach 21...ha...ha...

I am sure you will find a good husband and yourself a fantastic mother.

Merry Christmas!
