I did it. I told my supervisor and team leader about wanting to resign. On one hand, I feel so bad, as though I 'cheated' them of paying me 4 months of maternity leave. To feel a wee bit better, I told myself "only 2 lah.. 2 was paid for by the government..." It is also tough explaining to relatives and friends why I wanted to be a stay-home mum. "Why not get a maid?", "Isn't it a waste of your degree?" and "How about childcare centres?" are just some of the common helpful suggestions thrown up. It is tough not to waiver!
So for now, I resolve to keep good track of my expenses! No more shopping at whim, especially online shopping! Have. to. limit. online. shopping. I have had enough of disappointments with online buys! Sigh. Lost count of the times I felt cheated by the material and cut of items that looked so good on the screen, but cannot make it when I receive the items in mail.
I am also worried I will become so overwhelmed by the housework and daily taking care of the kids that I lose the joy and focus too soon. Help me always remember why I love my kids.
