“Your mum’s sugar control is poor”
“Yeah, doctor, I know, she is eating all the stuff that she should not be eating!”
“Then why don’t you do something about it?”
“Hey look. You know what she told me?
When you were young, I feed you all the thing that I could buy, even when we were so poor.
Now you are so rich, and I am old, you ask me not to eat? Don’t want to buy all the food that I like for me? What kind of son are you?
You are a cruel son.
patient ah? lol..
old ppl do say tat…
guess they are just like dat?
thinking the other way?
This is called emotional blackmail
I think the mom knows that she is not supposed to eat la… she just want to eat anyway.
I’m usually quite liberal with my elderly patients. After all, our effort to prevent complications developing in the next few years may amount to nothing if the life expectancy is less than 5 years!
HA HA HA!!! My pa is soooOOOOoooo like that. He esp LOVES condensed milk on bread…..!!!!
But we dooooo try to curb this nasty delight..by not buying condensed milk! And I’ve already dangled the “don’t you want to witness your grandchildren growing up???” carrot…so, he’s been a very good boy..
*ahem*
Yup, like mott, I also dangle that carrot for my parents. They have their way of thinking and especially when they are old now, they just want to eat everything that they can before they ‘go home’.
agree with adino, mott and ECL..the parents like to use emotional blackmail..so children oso hv to do likewise dangle with carrot using the ‘grandchildren’ hehehe
Old people is like that. Even my parents also same kind… Ai.. Sometimes I also worried on their health. My parents like to eat sweet cakes and high cholestrol food such as roasted pork. I also don’t know how too =)
michelle Yeah. They think a bit differently
Adino Yeap. Poor son has to come up with some ways to do it
fibrate Usually we give leeway too, provided it is not too detrimental
mott Yours too? Haha. But your kids are still sooo young…
ECL I bet they want you to ‘marry’ Jaymes off, ASAP
winnie Sigh. It can be tough on their kids
keeyiet Guess it is a widespread problem ^-^
haiya..let them be la..no choice d..the more u tell them..they more they will say..like just only..ahhah..my grandpa demanded for ice-cream..but i was told not to give him any cause of his cough..but he say aiya little bit only..wont die wan..so wat am i suppose to say?? =P
Marry Jaymes off ASAP? No. Cannot. They are not so senile that they din no their precious grandson is only 15! hahaha…..
They won’t allow me not that I dun wan to have Jaymes marry early hor.
