I'm so glad I quit my full time job... I'm so glad it turned out the way it did. I see a lot of my friends trapped in the cycle - the money is too good to give up, so the kids pay the price.
Me too, best decision I ever made is to stay home to :snuggles: with my kids. I'm happier at home than at work.
However, I've to entertain this question every CNY: Why aren't you working? Wasted your Masters degree!

But you are nurturing your kids - the Masters of tomorrow.

I'm envious really of those who made the step of going into SAHM and am very sure that their kids will certainly benefit from their presence. Now a FTWM, I feel the lack of time. Although I take care of them once i'm back, it just seems like a lot of time was wasted in the interim (thanks to doting grandparents....a lot of things can siam). -

Nothing is wasted. Your kids will learn much more from you than any teacher they can ever have! Look, you are the Master Teacher! -
Dear Mummies who are SAHM,
It's not easy to take tat step to be a SAHM. I've been one for 11 years and I can't imagine myself going back to work. True, I get stressed with the kids at home but there is a special bond with them. I know what they are thinking and although I am the 'bad' guy, they understand I'm doing so for their good. Daddy being the good guy still cannot beat me in terms of closeness.
Sleepy,
Your Masters is not wasted...you are nurturing your children. It's well worth it. :celebrate: -
er ... :? ... this thread no longer about dealing with arrogant / how lian people liao? :oops:

Tankee,
Talking about them spoils our day...why should we discuss about them and their shallow behaviour ? But I agree with you that this thread will go to no where. :lol: -
Tell them u have a master degree so can nurture your children...I guess they are not awared that these days, most mummys are very qualified as in very educated.You contribute in a different way...

Actually, I am sure I am how lian to some people without my own knowledge, or purposely doing so. There’s never an intention to put anyone down, but some people get put down easily.
I was told I how lian once because I was giving out my name card to my ex-classmates… I found it so strange. So, I printed another set of cards, with no designation, and no company name, just my contacts on the blank beige card. Nowadays, I don’t even bother to give out name cards, I just ask for theirs and send them an email.
When my boss and/or my hubby introduces me, they tend to overstate my abilities. Nowadays, I keep as silent as possible, I know some jealously will definitely be brewing. Some people don’t know that they are just being very nice and I’m not as capable as they made me out to be, so take it easy lah.
If people have the perception that you are how lian, you are no matter what you do or say, you are one. Nowadays, I don’t even want to share my recipes anymore, because people might think I’m trying to show my prowess. I thought share share learn learn mah… but some people think it is show-off.
As for people who appear how lian to me, I tried to rationalize why they are like that, and end up pitying them most of the time. Ha ha. I’d come home and tell DH about what they say and then we’d have a good laugh.
I guess it takes all kinds to make this world a happy and fun place. If all of us are the same, what a boring place this would be. At least, there won’t be this thread! -
When I think through the number of people who are persistently how lian, the truth is, the number is small. I can only count three people like that, and boy, are they well known in their circles! These are the bad apples that make us think that there are so many of them out there.
Some people seem like they are boasting, but if we give them the benefit of the doubt and some time, usually, they balance themselves out.
So people, don't let these guys spoil your day. Just avoid/rant here, and realize that most people in the world are alright. :celebrate:
