Well, I like to choose my battles. And in this case, why make a wedding, which is a happy occasion, sour for all involved?Originally posted by the Bear:should i start a discussion about something which is very touchy?
who owes who more a duty?
the parents to the child, or the child to the parents?
and should it be a "duty" at all?
i hate that word and i'm not going to do any "duties" for anyone...
It's awful to start married life with all parties smarting with unhappiness and hurt. Parents are afterall parents and they do deserve respect from us. What we can do is try to convince them and persuade them, gently, if possible, not in a combative mode. Sometimes, it's possible to gently persuade someone over to our side and most often, folks like to chi1 ruan3, bu4 chi1 ying4! Both sides shouldn't approach the issue like battering rams going to war!
Instead of a full head-butting session, I'd rather get things done my way the stealthier, albeit 'nicer' way... slowly over the months win them over to my side. Use psychological tactics! Tell them that if they insist on interfering, the entire wedding may be called off and then their precious darling daughter will be a bachelorette forever and die lonely and what-not and all because they wanted MY wedding done THEIR way... something like that!
I'm sure that will scare them into absolute silence and submission!
Confrontations can turn nasty... why resort to that if one can use more pleasant methods of winning them over to one's side? -

and our sexuality?Originally posted by Lance_han:and our didi -
the first thing to be respected is to give due respect...
if a parent cannot respect themselves or their children enough to let their day be their day without imposing their will on everything, is it really respect?
even as a parent, that respect must still be earned..
just like a child would have to earn the respect of their parents...
i asked this of my own parents before... and i had many knock-down drag-out battles... you don't even respect or trust yourselves to realise your children know right from wrong... you don't even trust your own children!
they keep forgetting.. and there'll be another row..
but to capitulate would be to stop growing.. to allow them to impose their whims and fancies, their wills and everything on you..
notice: i do not believe in corruption nor coercion..
and the worse thing a parent can do to a child is to spiritually cripple a child with guilt and emotional blackmail.. -

Yes, I bake the cassava in the morning and do the wah koh kuay in the afternoon.Originally posted by Rhonda:Wah! Did you make all these snacks, including the wah koh kuay?!!
You really put in A LOT of effort!!
Thanks.......yeah, I think so too. I served six appetizers too!!! But most importantly, I like my guests to enjoy and have a good time.
I repeated the same thing for Ring in the new year party. This group is younger (40s/30s) so the level of spontaneity is higher.
Oh? Do you want me to PM my email address to you again? -
