Better though than most of the alternatives that come with a lack of patience.
My nan's already got a great-grandchild through my older cousin, and she doesn't nag at us to get partners, but to "open your eyes" before falling in love.

Yeah and forcing your child to get married or pressurizing them is not necessary for the best at all

*&$%#
later i got to go do some looking around IMM for some things needed at work
why the hell is it that the stupidity of the boss has to be cleared up by me??

Sooo funny! Just on TV, a man in Northern Queensland was taking a pee out in the bush when an angry snake shot out and bit him right in his buddy!
The TV interviewer asked if he and his buddy is alright and he said it's been 'tried and tested' and it's recovered. -
To parents.. their "job" is only complete when they are raised their kids properly, the kids get proper education, got a career, get married and start a family..

Well, living here, it's not surprising if I do become one. A lot of trends and what-not you guys talk about, I'm no longer privy to.

You know, too many old grandma's here, when they ask me if I'm married and I say, 'single', they all go something like "Good / Smart Girl! Stay single! Marriage is over-rated!"

Stay in touch with us then, but even if you don't, I doubt you'd sink to their self-absorbed ways.

I thought the cycle is complete when their children can survive on their own. As it is, some married people can't even do that and always need a crutch.

Guess why I still think the big-city American men are more attractive than Aussie men?
I only like those Aussie men who are very well-travelled and humble enough to acknowledge that their country is screwed up in certain ways. That shows wisdom that transcends race and pride.

For me my dad is starting to nag about playing with his grandchild
So far nothing from my mum yet

KB, you know, the only truly open-minded people here who will get into an intellectual debate with me are other well-educated migrants. The Aussies here don't find it fun to discuss issues. They do, however, find it fun to go to pubs and get pissed drunk.
I have not had an intellectually-stimulating conversation the way I could have with you guys, esp with elindra, av and Bear since I got here.

U have the forums but yeah it's different from talking
And I sux at speaking on the phone coz it reminds me of work :x

You know, speaking of moms and dads, my mom was complaining to me the other night over the phone that dad is machiam acting 'strange' and overly sensitive. She wanted to go to my brother's place to play with baby niece the other week, and dad wanted to go, but decided 'not to interrupt them' and 'be a burden'.
Mom said alamak, just a casual visit also over-sensitise the whole issue! I guess that's where my own defective genes come from!
