Only those people who grew up taking care of themselves could truly understand the emotional trauma of being alone and fending for themselves. Yes they may think we turned out well in the end. But the process is hard. It's painful and difficult to be forced to grow up early.

[@Noblesierra]

This reminds me of myself when my mom and I first moved to Singapore. My father was working in M'sia and I stayed with my mom in a rented apartment. Times were tough and she had to work late at times, or attend classes from time to time, while I cooked my own food, studied on my own and did many things myself. My mom knew I was lonely and we even had conversations about how I did not have siblings, and what the mom said in the end was almost exactly like what my mom told me. She knew I needed company and got me a fighting fish, it may sound silly but, it really helped with the tough times. But I wish times were as simple as that. Now I am in my last push in my studies, times are a lot tougher, but I hope that the faith my mom had in me can push me further.

[@pattammalvaradarajan9017]

It is heartening to note the boy grown up and matured, it is OK to be afraid of something, shows he is still a child. He will grow up well and get over his loneliness, only that he takes the role of the father and mother too. Actually it is the son who should be teaching the mother to take care of her health and sleep early so that she won't pass away like his father. That would make a good story.

[@maggiechan33]

How could you NOT LOVE such a UBER-RESPONSIBLE, SWEET, YOUNG BOY! He does more chores than lots of adults nowadays.

[@alfinacahyani]

[@milkteaboba156]

Impressive! I also start to do housework at the age of 10 and started to cook simple things at the age of 12. I am a fellow Singaporean and I think it's ok for kids to start doing housework and cooking at an early age. My parents are always busy so they hardly had time for me but I became independent it's like I don't really need them.

Manja ada batasnya agar nanti punya ke Mandirian sejak dini agar besar nanti dewasa dan bertanggung jawab dalam segala hal apapun

[@austen98]

I believe that children should be allowed to express themselves freely without the fear of parents demurring them for it. After all, they are learning too, as their parents are too. I am an older person now, with a daughter and at first, I forgot this one precept and I was very impatient with her initially when she was very young. If it came down to it, I would dismiss her fears, or whatever, and told her to behave, just like my father and, particularly, my mother would have done. I realised that no one learns from this situation when one dominates the other. After all, we are supposed to be a family, not an army. Thankfully, things are a little different now because there are parents out there who see the light. However, there remains a large portion of Singaporeans, and Malaysians in particular, who still bring their children up in the old ways where tough love is the way to go where terms like "tiger parenting" spawn.

Making children independent is a good thing but kids should be treated as kids and not as servents. For making him conquer his fear , all he need is his mother's love..nd he is in need of love, that is why he misses his father..
