This thread is relevant to my interest.
What I like with my childhood:... ... ... ... My teacher, I guess ... the first teacher, who make me feel relax, kind of miss her.
Oh! I smoke and drink alcohol when I was 12
. but... after the underwear incident
....... I promise to myself never to do those things again.
What I don't like about my childhood: Being thrown to a place that is so corrupted with rasicm, as a result I spend most of the time during my childhood alone. Hate them. Being bullied almost everyday and I remember wishing I would grow up fast.
My parents, the typical you must work hard, nothing else matter than straight A's, you must always and always listen to us, think of your family, you must be rich in the future, hate them (even now). I'm not a Cyborg Pirate Ninja Jesus for god's sake! How I wish you guys would die a spectacular death in a car accident. Amen. (no, I'm an atheist). Like I'm gonna visit your funeral.
friends...? what the hell are those things. Oh. Those people who come and go in your life. well, doesn't make much difference if they don't exist.
Do you feel like you were well-prepared for adulthood? : No. But I remember at that time thinking that it'll be much better than my current situation. And it is! I have a lot of freedom now, though it take me some time to realize that.
What would you have wanted your childhood to be like? : ....... well... I always go in front of KFC and see the kids playing around all the time, for so long I pondered the question why I like to see those kids running around and constantly bugging their parents, well, I was jealous and how I wished......
And oh, how I wished that I know that I have a lot of freedom since I was a child.
how can I get my kids involved in the process of creating their own best experience of childhood? : no Idea. I'm not even planning to get children or to get married.
P.S... dunno why, but I honestly wish that you be a good parent, whatever that is.
