Malaysian actress Fasha Sandha shared her mixed feelings about her daughter Putri Raysha Jemyma's recent exam results. While proud of Jemyma, who is in Year 6, for achieving 10A grades, Sandha expressed regret over her daughter's performance in two other subjects, where she received C and D grades.
I am grateful she got 10A. But for the C and D, I blame myself because I couldn't accompany, teach, and focus on accompanying her.
Sandha took personal responsibility for Jemyma's lower marks in those subjects. "For the C and D, I blame myself because I couldn't accompany, teach, and focus on accompanying her," Sandha stated in a social media post. She attributed her shortcomings to her demanding work schedule, which often kept her away from home for extended periods.
"I blame my busyness. I really couldn't be very strict," she explained. "When I get home from work, I become a Persian cat (docile) because I haven't seen them for a long time due to being busy on set." Sandha questioned whether being a "lion" occasionally wouldn't be beneficial for her children's studies.
I blame my busyness. I really couldn't be very strict. When I get home from work, I become a Persian cat (docile) because I haven't seen them for a long time due to being busy on set.
Her candid admission and self-blame resonated with many netizens. Comments on her post praised her parenting style, with users commending her for not blaming her child and for acknowledging her role in the academic outcomes. "I love Fasha's approach! She doesn't blame the child at all," one user wrote, echoing sentiments of support for the actress's handling of the situation.
I love Fasha's approach! She doesn't blame the child at all.
