VIP Class Notes (Jesse) [W]

Most of our generation are only child and it caused us to be very selfishness. Sometimes I chatted with my friends and we found our husbands have same problems. They are lazy and have no patience to their kids. They don’t like to spend time to play with their kids, but they like to play with their iPhone. After 30 mins my husband played with our son, he started to play his mobile, and then our son wanted to attract his father’s eyes he would make some noise and did some terrible things (deliberately spilled water, etc.). They quarreled and ended up with my son’s weep. I really hate it. I told my husband that if you spent 30 mins to play with your son, there was only 2 hours for you to be together with him per week. Didn’t you think it is too short?
I hope my husband can spend more time to play with our son and take him to do more outdoor activities at weekend because childhood is short and never to return.
