I blog "having a kid" before. And recently I heard a lot of stories about parents worries...So, I decided to write part 2 of having a kid...
Stage 1:
When you know you have got pregnant, or you know your wife has got pregnant....2 responses:
1) FUYOHHHH!!!! I have got next generation! We have the result from "our effort"
2) SHIT!!! Accident! What should I do? take it or leave it?
**Minority, but statistic has shown it's rising responses:
1) arrghhh, who is the dad? I can't recall
2) I have not married, let's plan for wedding date...
Stage 2:
Scenario 1: Planned Pregnancy
Well, waiting for the arrival of baby. The pregnant mum will go for medical check up as per schedule given by doctor. Start to get complete set of baby's things.
Plan for the baby's future. Start or continue with the saving plan for the kids' education fund.
Scenario 2: Unplanned Pregnancy
Quickly go register, plan for wedding, looking for money for wedding photo, wedding dinner, and so on. Then look for money to get baby's things. This is not good, it's not according to plan.
**tips: To avoid it, please remember to use "protection".
Stage 3:
When the baby delivered, parents will worry:
1) How to take care of the kid? from feeding, teaching, playing, and so on
2) How to allocate more time with baby, instead of live like single life previously
3) How to control emotion when baby does not listen to you
4) How to earn more money to support the baby expenses, besides car loan, housing loan, and monthly expenses
5) How to find way to save more money for emergency use
6) Who is going to take care of the baby? How much is the baby sitter? Is the baby sitter okay? Is the baby sitter place's environment okay for the baby?
7) What language to talk to baby?
8) What brand of milk powder to feed the baby?
9) Is the baby normal? Physically healthy? .....and e.t.c.
Stage 4:

2) Can the baby talk?
3) Can the baby sing?
4) Can the baby interact with others?

Stage 6 - (From age of 12-18)
1) Which high school to go?
2) again will repeat some of the question above about the schools and peoples in school
3) Ha....how to educate the kids sex education (for Asian, we are conservatives, and we are better in practical than theory).
4) What are the method to avoid the kids get pregnant, or make someone's daughter(s) pregnant? Free condom? Lectures?
