dear dear upon, i am so glad you share my point.( though out of reluctance.) i always said that for me to raise my sons, it was "no principle at all ". when they cried, you yield. when they begged and begged, you yield. unless you really are patient enought and tough enought to stick to your principles, otherwise you gived up easily. i don’t think it is shameful to admit that. i certainly don’t think it is a matter of right or wrong. there is one thing i am so sure , love is never wrong. just give as much love as you want to your child, and pamper her as much as you can, she won’t fail you at the least and maybe turn out to be very good at the most. what’s your loss? i enjoy "spoiled " my andy, ( although there’s some times i was so doubtful about it and begged him not to fail me.) and it turned out he is ok now. i thank god for not punish me for loving him too much. and there’s still one thing i have to confess, i envy those parents who always stick to their principles. i just couldn’t do it. i guess that’s why they said" it takes a village to raise a child".

the more tricks you teach her, the more trouble you’ll get.be patient, mom. there’s still a long way to go.
vegas is still waiting for us. see you in september.

我兒子也長了8顆牙囉,
有時他也會忘記而咬了我,
真的很痛。

是呀，
做父母的要有所堅持，
才能教好孩子。

在美國和宜真的同學一起住，
發現他們超有原則的，
久了，孩子也只好放棄，
乖乖聽父母的話...
