Having to be the 'villain' in their eyes. As much as I'd like to set a good example, there's always a moment where I feel such strong hatred from my child. I can't help feeling that the anger they have might follow them into adulthood and cause a lot of latent personality issues

I think for me and my wife right now, it's trying to make sure my kid's life will be better than mine or hers. Not easy la i have to say. Hard to support 2 generations. My parents and my child. I just hope my kid can get all the scholarships there will be out there haha

Deciding when to step in to help my child or stepping back and watch him make his mistake so that he will grow from the experience. Both choices can turn out for the best but seeing your child suffer is never a pleasant thing.

I think, meeting half way my husband's culture, values and the parenting styles he got from his parents. We do compromise and try to understand each others' perspectives but there are times that the differnces show.

I'm not a parent yet, but I feel somehow it brings some worries along with the joy of being parent. You suddenly start worrying about the future and growth of your kid, and what you're doing is sufficient enough.

The fact that you are wholly responsible for the well being of another human being. That's huge! It's overwhelming and there's no instruction manual on doing this - you just have to do your best.

Everyday, you wake up and wonder what sort of lesson you will learn from your experience with your children. Everyday...even when your children is in their teens, young adult, or married.

Mommy's guilt. That's the hardest. There was once my baby fell from bed while I was going to change my clothes. I felt super guilt. It's hardest to overcome the the feeling of guilt.

My POV, your commitment of being a responsible parent and a role model to your child. Teach and educate them properly, guide them and the rest will surely follow accordingly
