Looking for a light

Giving tuition is realli interesting, well the kids are interesting, but hearing stuff from the parents is so much more that. So far, stuff I have been hearing have mostly been about the kids, but the funny thing, sometimes I'm like a counsellor, as therapist cos the parents use me as an outlet tot alk about their frustrations about work, and about each other even. Wah jia lat, soemtimes its really weired when u hear X talk about her husband, and Y talk about his wife. I mean its rarely anything positive, and the reality is they mostly blame each other for their children's failure to perform. Ouch.

And for me, as much as I wanna say something, I just keep my mouth shut cos the one thing I have learnt is dat sometimes ppl just want others to listen, they dont need advice, solutions or whateva, they just need someone to understand and empathise. Oh well, so I guess I just provide a listeing ear and EVRYTHING flkows out.

Which leads me to my next question about couples, married or not, and how sometimes after they have been married for a while, they may take things for granted and not wanna solve things. Which I mean is not wrong, I mean what do I know about all this rite? I guess its cos of dat Im glad I have Uni, cos she always tries and solves things, always wanting to talk things out, and be proactive, instead of childish SOB me who sometimes likes to let things settle and eventually blow over. Hmmmm, on hindsight its not a very good habit.

But i guess being married and all, sometimes theres just a need for space.

Hmm, just random thoughts I think, one of the few times I am no talking about soccer. And I shan't attempt too, not today.

Out.
