Haha, now our main focus is to give birth, as many as possible. With the encouraging reduction of tax and levy and more subsidies, leaving and trusting our products to the "Professionals" (Child-care centres and maids) to look after? While we continue to carry the name as parents, but trying our best to make more money, hopefully enough to pay all these going to be even better trained "Professionals" and "foreign talent" to care and teach our products? And not forgetting to keep a work-life balance.
What are we? What about those women who gave up their job, just to give birth and look after children, and ensuring every single child receive their best, while only the husband to work for the income?
Think carefully,
How much are we actually paying the Child-care centres?
How fast are we able to reach the centres to collect our children before the Child-care centres close for the day?
How much is the penalty to pay if we late?
How the hospital bill and clinic going to be?
How the milk powder price tomorrow will be?
How much to spend when bring them out?
How many toys to buy?
How much to feed then is considered enough?
How much to save for their future?....
Haha, the bill is damn long....and it's multiplied by the number of children. So are you able to afford it, even with both "parents" (haha, still thinking how to define this title nowaday) working? Still got house, utilities, transportation, entertainment.....? How much stress the couple can tolerant until they would choose to go separate way before a child is borned?
Hence, if your income dun fall within the desire range, do consider properly before having more. Although it's not clearly stated, you may not be in the intended group that are being asked to make more. So, the most famous statement - Work within your limits, and not just follow blindly. Raising children is more than just a head count.
Cheers!
