Hi Babyluna,
I hv a boy who's 4 and turning 5 this year. All the while been planning to have number 2 and decided to be a SAHM this year to spend more time with him and also see if I can pro-create
. Hahaha....jokes aside, whether or not there are any new scheme, I will still go ahead to have number 2. Of course, as you mentioned, everything else is so expensive these days but I guess have to scrimp and save even more, after all, having a child is priceless and it's a personal decision so individuals will have their own reasons on whether should they or should they not have another bb. I will definitely have more bb/s not because of the money but because I think 1 is not enough, 2 or more will be merrier.
But 1 thing I'm disappointed abt the new scheme is that there wasn't any help for SAHM. It's like as if we are the "forgotten" beings who choose to sacrifice their career, not helping the economy, hence, no helping hand from the govt
. I belived a lot of SAHM choose to give up their career is because to give the best to their kids, they need to be there instead of leaving them under the care of grandparents or maid and only seeing them after work. Not every woman is that lucky to work for bosses who emphatise working mother's position and in fact, with the new scheme, it still depends on the bosses whether how the leave is being planned.
