Also school holidays I need to be away. Who will want me :sad:

Maybe you need to get used to the idea that your daughters are teenagers, and can be more independent? They can be left at home without you! It's not as if you are going to be gone for weeks - you'll be home by dinner time (or earlier if you work half days). If you work PT, you can still keep to the same hours whether it's holiday time or not. It's for your own sake too - mothers don't need to be available all the time until their kids are 18 or 21 or whatever. You will probably feel better if you have something other than your daughters to focus on at least a few hours a week! You will also set a good example to your daughters when you show that women can balance different parts of their lives and be good mothers, wives and employees.

There's no need to not work just because of those few hours when you think they need you - and you will find they don't really need you that much. My special needs daughter got through A levels and university while I was working PT. I did the coaching and oversight in the evenings, weekends and on the days I was at home. Once or twice when things got really stressful, I took a half-day off to help her, but mostly, my being out of the house PT wasn't a problem.

I think by working on my own will be better serve my situation and my long term objective…that’s why I don’t really consider working under co at the moment. School holidays will be family time ad we will be outside. They can be quite independent if need to, I feel. I was considering f&b, car washing etc but have not been smooth. My objective also is I learn, they learn…

MKS, if u are looking to start a home business, why not use your expertise in cooking? Sell your baked goods or tingkat & u have car to deliver as well.

No need big scale commercial lah. I got friends who set up their own fb page for taking online orders and subsequently liaise via whatsapp and paynow. For small scale home baking business.

For me, difficult to achieve same standard coz I m those who use 'agaration'.

But I think that is a good way to earn some money for us. No need pay rental.

Most people use “agaration” at home to begin with. If you intend to sell, you will use proper measurements to ensure consistency.

Some encouragement, DH told me parents of one of his acquaintance made yam cakes 芋头糕 for fun (to give away) after retirement, then spread by word of mouth that their yam cakes were delicious. Subsequently, the yam cake business grew to an actual shop. 😂

But true lor, no car no problems ..suddenly all will be super independent

You think think think and talk talk talk at home also no use. Going to any CC and check when is their next jobs fair. Go to visit any jobs fair at CC, study what kind of jobs are recruiting, talk to the staff of those companies on your requirements or your limitations and see what they say or their suggest, then you will have a much more clear picture on finding your next job.

I actually don't like the ideas of home cook business because if any customers claimed they are not feeling well after taken in your food, then you may have to face great problems.
