I have children.

in raising children to be good and independent persons, to build their own family and to find happy medium (environment, profession, community, ...) to live and learn --all life long-- I have to make a lot of effort, spend time, spend money and share my space, on top of love and responsibility. I am sure a lot of parents raise their children like masters/princesses in the family. No, children are loved and cherished in Thai society. Where do you get this "raising children as slaves" idea from?

Let go of such negative attitudes and your life will be much happier and much sweeter.
