I'll like to know what do people think of raising their kids in the west as comparared to their home country. I'm Singaporean but my husband isn't. we're planing to have kids in the near future and currently staying in Australia.
We were going through the pros and conz of raising our children in both countries.
So i'll like to know personally from you guys who've gone through this personally to share your opinions on this issue. Members who have not gone through this can also chip in.
im sure this question crosses into everyone's head. i know my parents would have a strong pinion tht raising kids in the West is a bad move.
please advise.tks.
I I am a mother to 2 young boys. I am a Singaporean too and my husband is an Aussie.
To me the main issue is being close to my family, it's quite hard raising my boys without my family support. We have to depend on our friends alot. I find it is quite hard to do it coz I'm a very family oriented person.
Back to the topic abt raising kids in the west, I don't think there is much difference when it come to raising our children back home. Lots of Singaporeans parents that I see nowadays are pretty westernised. I am a firm believer that good values start at home. So far,I enjoyed the time that I had so far raising my first son (Can say much abt my 2nd one coz I just gave birth to him 3 weeks ago lol!) here.
Most important is that the children have to be near their parents. Then, try your best to be there for them and then lastly, leave to Allah. Every land is Allah's land and everywhere we need to follow the rules of Islam. Land is just another physical place on this earth.

right. look, one piece of advise i'll give you all who are so hung up on the 'evil's' of the West.
go the 'east'... and tell me just how 'pious' people are..
i'm wondering actually whether 'the east' is an abstraction of the mind of a society that longs beyond the empty consumerism of 'the west'... and somehow believes this emptiness can be filled by 'the east'...
the grass isn't greener people. and i think your kids have a right to know that.
