Sylvia,
Thanks!
Life is always about making choices and stand affirm to one's choice and the challenges that comes with it isn't it?
Like when I choose to marry my hubby (who is 10 yrs older than me) my parents never ever raise any objection, but merely told me, be it for better or for worse, it's my own choice and I've learn to live with it.
I missed my time as a SAHM. The bonding period, own time own target, don't have to stress about rushing to work, sometime still can put bb in stroller and sit at coffeeshop, slowly enjoying my breaky while see other rushing to catch bus wakaka.
Most importantly, don't even need to stress about bottle feed
as well as matching those cc & ml of bm to keep up with supply. Baby hungry, just lift up my shirt and pop neh neh into baby's mouth.
Aspialle,
When we were surviving with only 1 income with a family of 4, we spend within our mean, bring kids to playground which does cost money, borrow books from library every month instead of buying, cook all meals at home (except for occassion like wedding anni) and stocked toiletries when there is offer, learn craft from internet so that can entertain kids etc.
