Reading my text about raising resilient children really makes me think alot. It seems like i can always relate the bad examples to my mum but eventually decide that it wouldn't help if i talk to her about it. Indeed, it is true. But sometimes i feel guilty about blaming my mum even though i grew up pretty well. It's just that i wish i had receive my praises (which i probably never did since i entered school) and less criticism. So am i really being too critical on my mum or what?
Am i being too critical on people when i expect them to thank me for giving up my seat? I think most elderly are a grateful lot compared to the younger generation. They will profusely thank you and smile from the heart when you offer them seats. Some pregnant ladies and women with children would just take the seats without looking at the person. RUDE!!! What bad manner they are teaching the future pillar of Singapore. I feel that the society is putting too much blame on youngster for not contributing to become a gracious nation. They fail to see that many receivers do not appear to appreciate our generous offer.
The other day someone gave up his seat to me because
(i think) i looked pregnant that day. Needless to say, i didn't thank him but i really really thought he was alighting from the bus!!! And it's not the first time i am offered a seat on public transport.
Do i really look pregnant???
