Being a parent, I have done things I never thought I would…
Unthinkable, really, as a swinging single or a newlywed-with-no-burden, i mean, kid.
I find myself morphing into someone I used to scoff at and roll my eyes over.
Which shows you the importance of not knockin' it till you tried it.
Like sending Jay to a good (in other words, expensive) preschool. I always thought a normal (in other words, cheap) one would be more than sufficient. That was before a good friend and trusted colleague who also sends her son to a good (expensive) school said that she was literally sowing into her son’s life. Cos pre-school & primary school were the only chances for her to choose a good school. Thereafter, it is up to the son’s own academic ability. Which made sense to me. And so there you have it, I am thinking of which school to send Jay to in a few months’ time.
I even naively thought my social life as it was in my pre-Jayvonian days would pretty much still be intact.
Or like getting a baby harness. I always pitied kids subjected to such treatment and frowned at parents who did so.
Time to eat my words (again).
Thankfully he enjoyed his little beary-harness! This was his test-drive around the house. Bringing Daddy for a nice long walk. Haha!
Disclaimer: I don’t intend to use this in Singapore. This is preparation for my upcoming trip to Genting/KL – so that it allows him the freedom to wander and yet ease my sense of unease at letting him go free in a foreign land.
