i am such a disorganised and inefficient person... what an irritable day... sigh... too little gets done in a day and everything around me seems to be in a mess... :(

sorry.. just trying to vent...and my stomach is starting to hurt for no apparent reason... funny how we sometimes start to feel physically unwell once we feel mentally frustrated or unhappy... maybe toxic brain juices have seeped through to the various other body parts and destroyed them..? don't know.. am not bio student..

came up with a wise and mature thought while chatting with friend yesterday.. we were talking about parents and about the different styles in which children are brought up. We came upon the topic of over-protective parents, especially mums towards their daughters.. those who set curfews (even if their daughters are already "old enough" to think for themselves) and those who decide what their daughters can and cannot do, where they can and cannot go, etc etc.. i suddenly realised that parents should really be more concerned with the company their children are keeping rather than all these.. after all, if their kids are hanging out with bad company, they will be in danger even at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. if they are with safe company, they will be ok even if they are out till midnite.. isn't it? besides, the more they impose limits, the more their kids are likely to hide information or to lie... so maybe openness and trust (that their parents will not overreact) is really the only way to make sure parents know what their kids are up to..

oh well, scary thing is, parents do not have a manual on how to bring up their children and they only really have one chance at it and whatever they do will inevitably influence the lives of their children for a long time (if not permanently)... umm....

little wonder why some couples decide not to have kids... the whole idea of this great responsibility must surely overwhelm them...
