Some Parents who's treatment of their maid are less then
civil...... The young child learn from a early age that
maids are there to fetch & carry..... and worst, command by
their employer.
I've seen young child of about
7yrs old, screening at the maid to do his bidding while the parent
act blur in public...... 
I disagree that most of the kids are
like dat..... but there is enough of them to make
me question the way their parents are parenting....
For a while I was wondering if you
were serious with your D6 remarks, now I wonder if it has also
affected your general approach in critical thinking as well ?
Are you into paediatric psychology - as CSJ is - to come up with a
general statement such as this ?
How many of such a scenario in an assumed number of 500,000
Singaporeans who are parents, and over how long a period of
personal observation to such scenes that have led you to such a
brazen statement ?
I am beginning to wonder if you have not unwittingly sniffed too
much of Gazelle's whiff to follow his style so closely
?
Personal, I have no maids of my own. But my sister does. The Maid
come over to help take care of 3 kids belonging to my Sis &
Bro. My mother is getting in her age and need the help with 3 super
active kids.
But I make known to the children
when the maid 1st come -
1) That they are never to command the maid for
anything.......
2) The are NEVER allow to hit the maid.... which 1 of the girls
already kena from me 
3) They have to speak politly to the maid at ALL
TIMES.
Luckily so far everything is ok...... They treat the maid as a big
Sister. So hopfully.... this brunch won't turn out to be Brats
Will your 3 kids belonging to your
sibling be in any position to influence of change the effects from
the larger number of brats that you have assumed to exist ?
Hopefully, the larger population of brats will not effectively put
peer pressure on the 3 kids in your family as they grow into
teenagers and adulthood.
Our immediate environment is created as much by ourselves as it is
affected by the larger value systems imposed onto society by the
Superior Powers.
Singaporeans are what we are as a result of the environment created
by the Government.
Should we deny the fact that the Government increase to the wages
for the Civil Service and the Cabinet Ministers have not similarly
given just cause for all kinds of increases across the board in
Singapore ?
The Morality in the Money Chase has been boosted - so much for
moral values.
