Daddy fetish
I find it particularly touching when I see fathers take their children to school on trains everyday. While it is common to see fathers sending their kids by car right to the school gate, its rather rare to see one sending off their kids on public transportation. It's a hassle really to send your kids to school. Not only are schools generally situated deep within the heartlands, the ungodly hours that school starts – 7.30 am for most public schools – means it requires almost immortal efforts to do such. So its rare. In cosmopolitan Singapore, the act of taking care of the children still largely falls on the shoulders on the mothers. Fathers bring home the bacon. Mothers do that and take care of the family too. So yes, Fathers in public transportation, showing unrestrained love and concern to their children do affect me somehow. Same goes to fathers with little toddlers in supermarkets.
