i was think the same way.. they bring me into this world shouldnt they all provide me with food and stuff but i think again like abit nt correct leh for example ur parents fallen sick or wat then u still expect them to go out and work meh ?? or even worst u expect them to go beg for money ?? like tat i think is like screw up la ... no matter wat ... when i lack of money i scrimp lor save lor at my hse downstair buy some instant noodles n go home n cook also will full ... i guess maybe i dont like to rely on other bah

I heard sg was one of the most unhappiest country in the world rite?
The childern blame their parents for letting them to be in this unhappy world and wan them to provide everything they wan -
This is not America where people graduate tio can get good job, bills fairly easily paid, house easily found and life is fairly good. This is Singapore where our jobs are at risk by foreign talents, bills just keep rising every month don't know why, house is super X considering its a stupidly small space and life is hectic.
Thus it is why people stay with their parents and sometimes litch of them.... This will all change if these children get married.... Get divorced then back to square 1.... -
Singapore should start raising their children the American way. Here in the U.S., we support our kids till 16 or 17, and then they're on their own after that!
No more whining to Mommy and Daddy-- either get a job or get a loan, because no one is going to give you free room and board. -
I really feel sorry 4 this but cant help it!!!
Living cost is so high in Spore!!!! FTs hve taken over our rice b in Spore!
My children are living with me to cut costs! It is good for the time being but in the long term,pls spare yr thought,we as parents will also want 2 cash out to migrate elsewhere where is less costly!!!
Poor Sporean kids!!!We share yr feeling!!! -
I don't think the topic is true. Unless show me some statistics, otherwise it's just a wild guess.
Might as well say, nowadays Singaporeans don't feed their elderly parents. Or just say Singaporeans stop giving allowance to their children when they hit 16.
Anyway, I don't think it's true and hope the others will not be misguided by the wrong info. I am 24 and so are my friends, we are either studying, trying hard to find a job or already working. I don't see any of them not trying. -

I take it you haven't been to the US or have many friends there. The real picture is not that rosy. -
It is just too expensive to buy a house these days.. somemore must married then can buy.. so it is common for their child to stay with them till they married and buy a house.

Disclaimer:
it might be a bit offending but it's just my 2 cents of thoughts...
if you get offended easily, then dun read.
it's the culture.
look at the way we are living now
govt has to provide ppl for almost everything
from shelter-house to medical bills, even savings for retirement govt also has to worry for us, that ppl wun prepare for a rainy rain.
what has changed over the years from independence to now.
in the past way back,
our forefathers work hard to provide for everyones' needs like basic food and shelter.
slowly over time, it evolved into govt and our parents resort to falling back on a safety net - inherit our parents hard earned money. living in the comfort zone
we lost the ability to think and prepare for crisis. only sit there waiting for things to happen then react, by that time, it will be too late
now let's look at the current kids/teenagers
what do they know to do?
lets take a look
1-study-get into schs-study get good results -step into society
2- keep saying life's short- enjoy it, not thinking of the consquences behind it so the go clubbing, smoking, ktv, hanging out with friends.
3- what ever they wanna get, either they ask their parents, or try means and ways to get..
4- now looking at kids 7yrs old and below also have a hp already..they were just given the hp, but they dunno how valuable the piece of object is in their hands.
5-not alot of teenagers/kids work...lame reason=stress then go back comfort zone enjoy, depend on parents...
in short is
when 1 lives in comfort zone, generations will only get lazier and lazier losing ability to think and fend for themselves..
last time, its one sole bread-winner supporting whole family.
now its 2 parents supporting their kids, and kids dun even know how to help their parents and why they need to support their parents.
we are just too dependent on the person supporting us.. -
i feel it is just plain IDIOT that people who still stick to parent after they grad and found a job.
Yes, you may have no money, but the feeding from your parent should stop once you got your first pay.
i used to earn 1.3k at first job, i can give my parent 300 hundred at first pay, and still support myself + save money for my univ studies.
i heavily despise ppl who still feed on parent after they grad and found a job.
these kind of ppl(feeders) normally(not all) will not archieve much in job anyway. no wonder FT are being employed here, thanks to the feeders. (this is a personal statement, i just simply hate ppl who feed on their parent) -

yes i agree, there's no wrong in your sentences above. but the discussion here is about [b]after graduating " (from university, or simply NS for those with no intention of further studies)[/b] -
I agree with you. Cannot really trust the printed media in S'pore. It says what the govt wants to say or propaganda. Remember the censorship of Mr Brown?Originally posted by JackOT:I don't think the topic is true. Unless show me some statistics, otherwise it's just a wild guess.

Are graduates the only ones to blame for poor ethics and lack of hunger?Originally posted by oxford mushroom:Yes, I think it i s utterly shameless to ask for money after graduation...they are not hungry enough to want to work because their parents oblige them
With parents willing to indulge them, one can only imagine that such a deficiency works both ways - the apparent willingness of parents to allow their children to take things easy while their children continue to live the life of a leech.
Those working in lower income groups will surely not fall under this catagory, where gross family income is barely enough to scrap by.
Which can only mean those 'utterly shameless' few are in the middle-upper earning income bracket. -
Any empirical evidence? Statistics? Sources of those statistics? Power/level/confidence of the statistical test? How was this inferred from the data? Blind/doubleblind used?Originally posted by Gordonator:there seems to be increasing no. of young people who still continues to take money from their parents eventhough they have graduated from university or national service,with no intention of finding a job.
i think this might be a biased observation. -
Sometimes, it just seems easier for us to tell graduates to find a job to do. I got a uni grad friend, who is even prepare to work for 1.6k job, all because she finds it hard to secure one. Another one would be my gf, who sent out letters after letters and yet not much interviews. I am kind of tired trying to encourage her liao.
