yallo: though my hb is not the only child, but he's too self-centered, which am still trying hard to accept, though we're tog for 8 yrs liao.
kimiko: am also the eldest, having a younger sis & bro, we r really close, guess is due to our parents, cos we always talk everything at home & i rem my classmates were all so surprised tat i tell my mum everything & they find our relationship so close juz like friends!! so i hope i can have this type of relationship w my children!!
gbh: agree, no matter how many siblings u have, it's the upbringing i feel...
though i do not come fr a big family, my parents only have 3 kids, but we are really close & though i have 2 kids oredi, but i feel having more kids & bringing them up to know that family kinship is very impt, as i see tat my hb's grandparents having 7 kids & they try to maintain the closeness of gathering together during festivals, chatting, they even try to org oversea trips yearly to keep our old grandpa company. and during the times when our old grandma was down with cancer, all kids get together to try to take care of her, then i tot, if i have only 1 child, so sad, she will be bearing the sadness all by herself... tat's when i tot to have more children. Though raising up children is not an easy task, but i always feel 'talk' is very impt, i alway talk to my children & all their qns will also be arrow to me, sometimes i do get irritated, but then i tot, if they dun talk to me, i would feel so sad... haha... dilema!!
