I have not eaten there before. Got air con somemore?! Is the taste and texture of meat as good as "the" geylang stall? When you know where you let me know k?
SAHM. In fact, I stopped working before we had kiddo. My husband doesn't like me working coz I have a workaholic streak in me and I'd be in the office from 6+am to as late as 11pm, which is not good work-life balance. He hates it when he tells my p a to have me return his call and I forget. He then started bringing my dog to pick me up and THAT dog of mine would stand at the reception counter SHOUT SHOUT SHOUT BARK BARK BARK till I apologise, pack up and go. She is VERY LOUD, and has a very strong character. But things did get to a point where he said he had enough.
Nowadays, sometimes he would jokingly threaten, "Send you back to work then you know..." and I would retort "OK! Good idea!". I do think working is not a bad idea. But he knows I'm very attached to my kid and that I intend to be around, to spend time, to guide, protect, teach, have fun together, etc.
I think it is a good thing for women to continue working, and for those who juggle motherhood and career, I have a deep sense of respect for them. Working is also good that you have clear KPIs and appraisals and extrinsic rewards. The sense of achievement is very tangible. But for me now, I know that I can't exchange these for my kid's smile, hugs, being around always when needed, etc. I always remind myself that though I'm a SAHM, i must actively be engaged to ensure i maintain a sense of relevance to society and be able to contribute and grow in whatever way i can while not compromising family time (I often fall short...).
If I had been working, I know I won't have been able to provide total breastfeeding for 2+ years. So you're doing good at nine months! How do you juggle everything? How do you work out that and home arrangements and all?
