hi! I was SAHM for 2.5yrs, just recently when back to workforce after my son stabilised in nursery 😊 to be honest, it was the most tiring, difficult, under appreciated role I ever took on! and I dun even get paid... but, it pays in other unimaginable ways... being there when my son could lift his head, turn onto his tummy, ate his own toes, shake the little toy rattle I bought him even before he was born gleefully 🥰 financial independence is important to me, but I chose to be there for my son's every little milestone... he is only a baby once ♥️ $ can always earn back later 😂 my husband and I also not comfy with the idea of a maid caring for our kids... no offense to others, just our preference. the last thing I want is my kids running to the maid crying cos I scolded them... currently is opposite 😂
