Do pple start behaving like kids after certain age?
Based on my own knowledge & experience, the ans wld be YES (wif diff age limit for diff pple).. Dat wld explain the childish behaviour of my dad recently. He started to be unhappy over EVERY LITTLE THING, picking a quarrel & fight like his life depends strongly on them..
Gosh!! u sld see the way he behaved just now.. All over a bowl that wasn't brought into the kitchen IMMEDIATELY when a few min wldn't affect anything at all.. Well, it's ok.. for that 15 min or so (coz the show was ending soon), I was watching tv while he was watching ME!! lolx.. den when it was juz 3min b4 the show end, he shouted & threatened me to bring the bowl in.. Ok lor.. I had watched enough anyway, so I shall be nice & give in for 3 min, BUT I really pity him.. He MISSED watching 15min of show juz to get angry over something that is so minor, & to think even a step deeper, it's not juz the time we r talking abt here.. It's the ENJOYMENT..
Well, all I can say is that this wld be a gd example on how a person's happiness is actually a CHOICE, in another word, HE HAD CHOSEN HIS UNHAPPINESS.. It's not that I wanna defy him, but I'm not a 10yrs old kid where he still can order me ard coz I may not be able to think for myself.. I'm a well-developed young adult & played my part as a mature & civilised person by informing him nicely that I'll bring the bowl in later. If he still wanna be unreasonable & act like a spoilt kid, den I shall let him continue wif his childish actions since I'm not in a position to stop him.
Enough said abt this small incident. Before I make a closure, I really have to comment this: no wonder dat bastard* in the hse behaved the way IT behaved.
In psychological terms, we call it modelling.
In layman's term, we'll say:
Like father, like son.
