Myself marrying a viet wife, i don't feel that i am being look down by fellow singaporens leh. People i met and knowing i have a viet wife will only comment that 'whao, very shiong on your finance leh", "whao, you so good to your wife, let her stay home don't need work" etc...

It is true that viet wife knows how to raise kids. Example, my wife did a good job feeding, bathing and taking good care of my son. But playing and educating him, she did badly. So it is my responsibilty to play and teach him.
I think you didn't get the interpretation correctly.

My main message is
- `get a roof over the head for family' instead of spending the money on holidays and building houses for wife's relatives in the province.

- educate the children by ourselves, don't depend on MIL, who has no idea of educating kids.



As for others who are fast to stamp me out, please read carefully what i wrote. Educating children is not as easy as most of us think it is. When our children get to P4 onwards, most of us cannot understand the syllabus at all. Maths is so different from what we has last time. So before you start to `stamp me out quickly', wait till your children reach upper primary, then you come tell me about it.
