Your parents still know the family tree thingy...Originally posted by TYING:I dono for you. But my parents brought me up in a strict ways. Nowadays you see kids calling their relatives just auntie and uncle, but not like da sao, da bo and yi ma etc etc. So i really thing its how the parents bring up the child when they are young.
Its better to shape their attitude when young.
Nowadays you ask kids, they go "huh?"
So just call auntie/uncle lor...
And if you ask me, I will most likely go "huh" if it goes beyond third generation. -
Haha, me.Originally posted by SGpork:not really..parents do a part but for most...must depends n see the kids themself
I've been taught that since young, but I only started greeting when I was 16, because too shy to greet.
When I greeted, they say can buy 4D liao.
And they tio Toto.

if you want me to know the order of birth then please go write out the list and wear it as a badge.
otherwise how to remember when you only see them once a year. and yes adults forget the children's names, order, etc too. so i guess its tit for tat -
It's like telling forumers make a t-shirt and wear it. They don't want lah.Originally posted by hisoka:i agree.

yar. agree.
my cousin getting worst.

How old are these kids, if they are very young like 3-6 its forgiveable.Older than that its a little amusingOriginally posted by blueheeler:Over the past few days, I have given out a few hundred bucks in angpows to kids, most of them I don't even know. I notice that many of these kids stick their hands out at me wanting angpows, but they are not willing to greet me or even thank me after I give the angpow to them.
In the past, my mom taught me to greet everyone during CNY with auspicious sayings and to thank the givers after I receive the angpows. Now, most kids take the angpows and run away, and some even had the cheek to open the angpows in front of me...
Don't the parents of these rude children teach them about the simple social graces? Is this why we have to have courtesy campigns every year, so as to remind us of the politeness that we have lost in the past few decades?
To be honest i did it when i was like 3 or 4.But i learnt after that. -
Rude children ? Kids ? They are nothing compared to SOME teenagers these days .
They blast music out loud in MRT , they make alot of noise in the Library , etc. etc.
Now even my school , sec 1 all go find upper sec people to protect them , sec 2 join big gang , by sec 3 everything change , it's like ...
EXAMPLE :
Past two years I hit you , you say " I don't be your friend "
Now I hit you , you say " NOT HAPPY AR ? _#@$*@*)@&$$ , COME LA ! WE SETTLE 1 OR 1 , OR U WAN ME CALL GANG ! "
Haiz ... what can be done <.< -
Wah! Like that also have! If I'm the uncle, I'll smacked him across the face.Originally posted by toyota-corolla:yar. agree.

(some say thanks, some dont)

open
COMPLAIN!

nowadays kids duno how to speak dialect so got problem wif communicationm

Parents should set good examples for their kids. Bad parenting really screws society up.
-
hell $ -.-Originally posted by stookie:should teach them a lesson by giving hell money in the ang pow...mwahaha
should pao dem before giving the ang bao... then dey'll look ang ang to get the bao haha! -
nnb..without greeting nvm,without thanks?!! HAAH!!..I think i might slap them in front of their parents
-
agree. since young my parents had been teaching me to say thanks or a word of greeting after receiving an hong bao.. this is a form of courtesy.. only the person who give me hong bao not very happy like that.. hahaOriginally posted by blueheeler:Over the past few days, I have given out a few hundred bucks in angpows to kids, most of them I don't even know.

jus this new yr, i notice a lot of my cousins' kids very impolite. not only they take hong bao nv say thanks but they even open up the hong baos right in front of the adults.. then they will show to the other kids telling the amount of each hong bao given by who and who.. worse is, the parents don even care.. they even compliment that their kids are very "sek" (smart).. bth man, i tik it such a disgrace lor.. -
ya... the kids nowadays are very rude. So rude that I really don't bother with some of them. I have many nephew and niece. Only a few have grown up to be likable and a caring teenage and which I would attempt to talk with. The rest is like a cold wall of ice and I wonder why I should be dispensing ang pows to them when it's really the money in the ang pow that they just bother and they don't really put a least bit of effort to earn it.
Most of the nephew and niece were really nice to me when they were small, esp before Secondary school. I would often joke and play with them. But once reach secondary school and above, my god, their attitude and courtesy really sux and I don't know some of these niece and nephews anymore.
Do not mistake that the parents of these children definitely do not behave like that. How did they catch on such attitude and values?
Lack of parental concern and communication?
Computer games?
TV?
Too much school work and competition?
Lack of hardship?
Individualism?
Materialism? -
er reconsider your relationship with the kids' parents?
-
yes yes, I have a friend who din even bother to learn how to speak the dialect, and his grandma must even learn chinese just to communicate with him and other grandchildren. Poor granny.Originally posted by stookie:nowadays kids duno how to speak dialect so got problem wif communicationm
Nxt time my kids, i will make sure teach them how to speak chi and some dialects first. -
all wanna learn how to jiak kan tang mah.Originally posted by TYING:yes yes, I have a friend who din even bother to learn how to speak the dialect, and his grandma must even learn chinese just to communicate with him and other grandchildren. Poor granny.

no wonder my mother's friends were surprised when i conversed with her in dialect. -
Shallow spawn of lazy parents.
They have not realised the merits of speaking more than one language too. -
agreed.
i have a neighbour who is worse than kids.
she always let her kids come to our hse on 1st day of CNY to collect ang baos and she will hide in her hse until late evening b4 she made appearance.
she oso have the cheek to tell my mum tat she wont give me ang bao unless im home(im out with frens) n greet her. WTH!!
come on, not tat i gian her $4 ang bao lor.
from tat particular yr onward, i boycott her and ban her kids from coming to my hse! -
The ang pow is yours. You can don't give.
The house is yours, you can ask the kids to go void deck to celebrate.
Parents and adults are indirectly supporting bad behaviour by giving in to the kids and teens. I hardly see kids or teens become better when they grow older.
I choose to step aside for my husband's nieces and nephews because their parents will get upset if I do take action. In addition, it seems that the parents are do not control their kids when they are annoying everyone but are using other people to do so. Seriously, I didn't product them, I do not want to spend all my time teach someone's kid.
