Freelance Focus

My focus this year would be to do something home-based/freelance - by hook or by crook! Perhaps add on a part-time job during weekends or so, I think that's OK too depending. That way I can really have the opportunity to priortize family needs and work esp during those emergency times! Soon ANA will go to pre-school and hours would be different (still thinking if we should keep her at the daycare till no choice! i.e. 4y) .. there are of course pros and cons .. but I do admire parents who have the opportunity and flexibility to really put so much time for their kids.. mainly the wife not working but sending the kids to school, picking them up thereafter, sending them to some extra curricular & sports .. its really enriching.. I used to think shallowly about how one would stay home just baby sitting *yeah coz I assumed the baby never grow up to go to school ha!* .. and it seems to me more clearly now, that parenting at home is indeed a very important element in the child's youthful years! But of course, diff environment, diff opportunities. I remember when I was young both my parents worked all day and I still go to school and return to home, go back for extra curriculum at school - that's because we have Granny at home! Also, its walking distance to school, and its sort of safe.. Nobody walks here, you get run down! Also, its not always that safe, and after all, we're talking about toddlers! So, you know different ball game? But yeah, still home-based/freelance - something just enough to take care of 1) Parents financial needs 2) Family travel needs 3) Family retirement home. Thumbs up!
