I am getting confused.
Was asking me mum about her discipling us as kids, you know she was this fierce and almost ferocious person adn when she unleashes her anger, Singapore was turned upside down, floods pervades and those poor citizens hung on to their lives (ok ok I am just kidding) but she was strict.
Anyway, now that she's a grangma I asked her about the difference between being a mum and a grandmum, she said when we were young when she scolded or punished us, she felt anger, now that she's a grandmum when she scolds my nephew, she felt pain.
Dunno about you ppl out there but my self-esteem just went a notch lower.
