I always thought I would continue working till retirement until a relative shared with me that she regreted missing her 3 children growing years. She was at retirement age then and she said looking back at her life, that was her biggest regret.kids grow up very fast...we should enjoy them at every stage.
work in the office is never-ending and at the end of the day, everyone is dispensable. so enjoy every minute with the family because that's where you are always wanted.
That conversation jolted me. I was slogging long hours in office then and was feeling frustrated that I missed the first year of my baby's growth. I served my resignation letter 2 months later. And have been home ever since. -
you can slog like a dog in the office because you are paid and expected to…however can still get the sack…but this will never happen at home.
the benefits reaped from putting in the same hours will churn out happy children who share a bond with the mum. I’ve been a stay-home mum for the past 15 years…it was not all that perfect but I’ve survived.
when I ask my kids if they would have preferred me to be working, their answer is a no. -

Love notes not enough for me.
I told my kids \"hey you are my money trees. Now I'm fertilizing you. Next time I gonna shake you, make sure plenty of money drop into my lap hor\" :rotflmao:
Luckily they're already being brainwashed. They actually agreed with me, accepting that it's 理所当然 :evil: -
sleepy, you are good.

now that you have ang pao, pay for your own entertainment…that means their toys. -
