Will we ever be satisfied?
Sunday, August 31, 2008
In the recent National Day Rally speech, PM Lee has announced that mothers will now get 4 months of maternity leave. However, some Singaporeans still feel that the parenthood package is not enough. Personally, I feel it is quite substantial already. However, it doesn't tempt me to want to have another one. Whatever the government offers is just a bonus to me. Shaun can be quite a handful and I simply don't have the energy to care for another baby. So for now, I'm satisfied and thankful for what I have and who knows what will happen in another 3 to 4 years time.
Riding on lao po's entry: ya, if you love your own children, you'll surmount no matter what - these packages are just bonuses. Sometimes, when Shaun gives us 'hell', I just laugh heartily - it seems to be his right to do so; you just feel intrinsically motivated. Who can forget the little beating heart which was just conceived, and the little human who popped out of his mummy - memories of these alone is sufficient motivation :-)
