      Lee_yl, are you pressurized to meet certain quota for renting out or selling properties?

      Also, do you need to share certain percentage of your “commission” to ERA?
      if no quota then good..

          yl, I wish I can go back to work ah. But my feisty chauvinistic DC2 insisted that I stay at home FOR him. DC2 has been like this since toddler in childcare. I remembered him lugging his trolley bag from the childcare to my car complaining all the way on my tardiness in picking up in time. 😂 I went back to see my colleagues the other day and half way through, this DC2 kept calling on my hp asking when will I be back. :oops: I have spoken to DH on the intention to go back to workforce but his reply was to get DC2's approval woah. :faint:
          Think next year P5/P6, your DS2 will spend even longer hours in school (CCAs/supplementary classes). Break too long will get out of touch? If you have passion in what you are doing, think you will want to go back to your job very soon.

            You know I used to be told those service apartments at Anson Road & People’s Park are places working ppl go for lunchtime tryst. Errrhh!


            But I guess, we need to keep our relationships with spouses warm & alive. Good to develop common interests - kids, planning for holiday trips & retirement together. Keep the conversation going & keep their attention. Rmbr men can multi-tasks? That’s speaking in general terms, but I rmbr a taxi driver used to tell me - so long as he earn money to feed the family, if he spend extra time & money just to hv fun & family don’t know, he believes he alr discharges his duty. What a jerk!

            It’s good to know our spouses come home promptly fr work but if spouses hv so much temptations, it takes 2 hands to clap. Hope our spouses hv strong will & know they hv a family to love & the home & kids are beautiful reasons to keep them looking fwd to return to.

                It comes with practice and exposure, I think. In general, the more you do it, the better you will get at it. If you can't get more comfortable with it even with practice, then it may not the right fit for you?

                Taking myself as an example, my husband asked me years ago to set up a small business, and using my skills for myself. But I am really not the entrepreneur type of person, and have always been more comfortable keeping to my limited sphere of expertise. I don't like looking for clients, marketing myself, keeping accounts, worrying about profitability, perhaps having employees to supervise. In the end, I convinced him to give up that idea for me, although if he is willing to set things up, I'm very happy to work for him! It does mean that I have forgone whatever profits he thinks I could have made, but I'm happier to do what I'm comfortable with. (So if anyone wants to set up a biz where my skills can be used, I'm a pretty good subordinate, and I don't mind working for younger people ...)
                you are right..practice and exposure..I need that..I shall take baby steps..hopefully can be like you, will see it getting better. No try, confirm cannot advance..try then got hope !

                      While I do see Leeyl's DH point but if DH were to say that to me he will get shot down by me. :razz:

                      Only I am susceptible to office affairs? What about him?
                      Don't want to hear me grumble about colleagues then ok to hear me grumble about the kids or parents? Or I cannot grumble to him at all?
                      😂

                      This would be peanuts compared to other nasty things he said before which sometimes make me feel belittled (as a SAHM).

                      But I do agree with my DH’s reasoning. He said I am 自恋成狂, 爱自作多情 type. So he better shut me off from the world of temptations outside. 😂

                      My hubby is very good in separating his private life from work. When he steps out of office, he leaves everything behind thus he seldom talks about his work related stress. Maybe men and women are just different.

                        Hubby’s good friend started off with a female colleague with harmless joking and teasing then both sort of developed further. That (married) woman told hubby’s good friend that her husband always played HP game and she felt neglected.

                        Hubby’s friend told hubby, he felt assured that he fulfilled his duty and he never neglected his wife because he brought her to the hawker centre to have breakfast with her!
                        I was like, :whut:
