In your teen years here in Singapore, you spend more time outside and avoiding your parents because you do not enjoy their company and their wisdom. The best thing about spending some time in the adult world is that you can see your parents for who they really are. Your parents are not perfect and so are you. They too made mistakes and you will realize that their wisdoms are only fitting. Sharing the hard parts of life together with parents will make life easier and lighter for you.

You will finally appreciate why they are worried about you. Growing up, checking in with parents seem like a heavy chore and not necessary. You just continue to come home late without thinking of your parents getting worried and overdoing it. When you finally have your children or even husband, you will appreciate why they are worried about you when they come home late. Worrying for someone the whole night is really awful and you will finally understand the feeling.

You will realize suddenly that their advices make sense now. During your teen years, you are annoyed when parents threw advices all the time. Admit it or not, you shrugged off many advices because you think you know everything. When the time comes that you are faced with a situation and remembered the advices your parents gave while you were young, that’s the time that you will realize it makes sense now.
