That's very understandable as a parent you want the best for your kids of course u don't want them to get hurt and u always want to be by there side and protect them but u also have to let them make there own choices and there own mistakes and let them come to u when they need you but if u suspect ur childs in danger like tevita u help ur child coz thats wat parents are for i enjoyed this movie alot

Hi mojoe, Perhaps so - But you'll also find Tevita is a familiar Tongan name :) Quite familiar within the Samoan / Tongan community. There are a few examples of people with such names: Tevita Li, Tevita Ofahengaue, Tevita Satae Etc. We hope this doesn't offend you or anyone

Great message of a fathers quite loyalty. And his sons goal to gain his approval. Majority of sons lucky enough to have there father have that personal goal in mind eventually. So true if none is gone well some will go to thinking suicide when no one is looking

Well teach them rugby doesn't last forever. That goes for every sport, and to plan for a future they can rely on. Nothing wrong with trying to play professional sport, just as long as you have something to fall back on.

I know how that feels. I didn't live up to the idea I had in my head of how I thought I needed to be as a pro player. I felt depressed and started to binge eat. What I didn't know at the time is that I was subconsciously trying to eat myself to death. It was what the Therapist helped me to discover. But what I discovered on my own Is that it is impossible to eat yourself to death with vegetables being that I'm a vegan.

Now Days is children try hard to impress our parents,But when they don’t listen sometimes we feel like when mean nothing to them.Our parents love ya more then we do.

@juanitaauelua2693 4 жыл бұрын

Yeah kids these days think they know better then there own parents but for us as parents we just want the best for our kids and even though our kids don't always agree with our decisions we expect them to except it because we love and care about them it might be unfair to them but where just putting there best interest at heart some kids try to live up to there parents expectations just to make there parents happy even though there kids heart isnt there

Wtf?! I don’t understand If I was the dad I would be proud of him Like 10 years to be finally livening his REAL dream. Yes looking after his family is important but isn’t the son achieving his dreams important? Like what the dad said “You can’t play rugby forever” umm? Same as looking after your family It’s hooks me that dads are more proud of their sons looking after fam than achieving their dreams.

@latelyjd 6 жыл бұрын

We hoped through this story to showcase the reality of this happening within family dynamics a lot. This story really wanted to be as truthful as possible but end with a happy ending, as to reconcile the son and fathers relationship.
