VOICE OF A YOUNG MOTHER IN SINGAPORE

[quote=\"AC_Power\"]I like the idea of having childcare centre near workplaces of working parents. However, my concern would be how high these child care centres are going to charge? Rental in prime areas is not going to be cheap.

True.

:idea: So the next best thing……..

Set aside a holding room at the work place.

Parents bring the kids to the office, deposit them at tne holding room

Every morning, a huge caravan will come and pick the kids up,

Send them to the childcare centre at some ulu place where the rent is cheap.

At the end of the day, the kids will be delivered back to the holding area,
ready for collection when the parents finished work

It may soon be a reality, not an exaggeration if we choose to be led by the nose to progress towards achieving economic benefits at the expense of everything else.

Try imagining your child living the life of a SAHP if he/she doesn't belongs to the highest economic echelon.[/quote]Sorry, I don't get what you mean by the sentence in bold. Can elaborate?

Why nobody understand my post? Must be wrong frequency.

Concern2, what I envisaged may not be how you imagine the future would be like. Anyway, I was adding the Grandma story when you posted your reply. You may want to read it if you have missed it.

Are modern pirates robbing the commoners instead of the rich armed fleets? Surely they know the ways of the world, the movers, the shakers, the history makers.

So you meant \"led by the nose\" by some hypothetical person or persons? Because I don't recall anybody advocating \"progress towards achieving economic benefits at the expense of everything else\". Maybe I missed a memo, directive or speech somewhere.

I don't get your post either, especially:
Try imagining your child living the life of a SAHP if he/she doesn't belongs to the highest economic echelon.
Are you saying that it will be impossible to be a SAHP if you aren't rich? Isn't that what a lot of people feel today?

As for the grandma story, yes it's quite true, but I still don't get your point. I'm 12 yrs younger than that hypothetical grandma and lots of is true for me too. But I don't see what you are trying to illustrate.

Sorry, was that an explanation? This not-yet-grandma can't see because it's too small!

[pirate]

This grandma also knows how to pull a fast one. As far as I can tell, penicillin, television, FM radio broadcasts, electric typewriters and ball-point pens were all commercially available before 1952. No wonder sometimes the young don't believe us. :skeptical:

Can see but still catch no ball because it is not an explanation. Luckily it seems I am not the only one who needs a \"more obvious explanation\".
