Good article. Will corresponding mumsforlifesg group call for daughters not to abuse / objectify men too?
Always guide and show them to show others with dignity and respect.

What if one individual is trying their best to make things better, but the other party just refuses to budge or talk things out at all?
What if one of the spouse refused to see a counsellor and insisted that the spouse can meet the counsellor by herself?
How best to encourage the individual to press on when her partner has a 3rd party?
Also, how do we know if how much is too much..? Especially in an environment where children are around/present Ultimately, any of these disagreements/arguements/unhappiness/quarrels will effect children in the household and may create an undesirable environment.
Thank you for sharing 😀

This Father’s Day, we asked Dads to share their Father’s Day wishes and children to share memories and what they love about their Dad. <Celebrating Fathers Story #6 - Christopher Penesis with Annelise, 12, and Elissa, 11>
Christopher: One positive thing that came out of the circuit breaker was that we were able to spend a lot more quality time together as a family. Prior to this, we were busy with school, work, tuition, dance, tennis and all the other activities that consumed our days and weeks. The circuit breaker provided us with a much needed pause. It was a wonderful experience with us all being home together for an extended period. We tried new recipes, played board games that we never found the time to play and discussed the virus situation here in Singapore and around the world.
For Father's Day, I would love nothing more than for my daughters to reflect on the past couple of months and keep the happy memories for a long time.
