Morning ladies!
vivi, i share the same sentiments as u, I used to work like mad/crazy(come home ard 11pm still gotta revise study at home to upgrade n upgrade, no end...) and almost lost my sanity esp during the 1st yr of my #1, but now that I'm off full-time work(even my freelance work can be rather crazy as well), I've kinda enjoyed it in a way, spending time with my #1 outside esp. during all the off-peak hours, heeee.
Don't look back, when I 1st changed my career to one of my interest, many, including my family told me I'm crazy to give up a relatively good pay job(plus contractual 3 mths bonus + extra at times) to something totally new and irregular. But there's no life at the rate I was working and there's no end to earning $! Thereafter, when I got pregnt wif #1, I was like at the peak of my new career and everyone said, aiyoh such a waste, u cld hv been this n that... N I was feeling rather miserable 'cos I hv to give up something I've worked so hard for, the 2nd time. In life, it's always either this or that, never both, so I suppose we have to see what is our priority. I told myself, since I can't bear to let others take care of my kid and I've made my choice, I have to live with it. So might as well live with it happily and enjoy it(well, I'd think differently when I'm sick and there's no one to care for my kiddos, hahaha)
