T&P,
nope, no rites whatsoever. she just offered joss sticks n said a few words of well-being.
blessed,
i gave up a rather promising career to b a SAHM. yes, it was tough. really bloody tough for me to make this quantum leap esp when i was all geared up to 'go all e way', i got preg again. as e job required super long hrs, i knew that i def can't strike a balance between work n family. somehow, one got to go. hence, i chose to give up my job n stay home to take care of my 1st as well as spend time w him before i deliver.
initially, it was v diff for me to adjust. i rem cryg in confusion n even blamed myself for gettg preggers again so quickly. but after a while, things really picked up n i found spending time w my son ultra fulfillg. he grew extremely close to me too.
of cz now when i speak to my workg frens, i cant help but feel 'jealous' or envious of their freedom n lifestyle but when i look at e kids, somehow i know that i will NOT b happier if i went back to work. i think i've engineered my mind to be in sync wif my heart already.
ask urself honestly wat u want. if u hv someone reliable to care for ur kids while u go out n earn some dough, why not? workg helps preserve some of ur sanity as well. but if u cant let go of ur kids (like me), u may want to give urself a couple of years before going back to e workforce.
