Show some tough love parenting or kids won't learn to fend for themselves


Mondays always seem more trying as it’s the start of a new work week (for most people) after the weekend. It’s also easy to lose track of time towards the evening when you’re trying to finish up stuff.

Usually, No. 2 son sends me a reminder to pick him up from tuition. But last week, I was so engrossed in work that I had totally forgotten about him. Rather than make him wait while I brave through the jam, it was faster for him to catch a cab home instead.
