No. of kids

it's so exciting to see the resemblance bet qiqi & moi~!!

how can ppl not want to haf their own kids? not becoz they are egoistic & juz want to procreate miniature versions of themselves but having ur own flesh & blood who is always a part of u is such an emotionally powerful thing. ok, i dun wana sound like i'm promoting for higher birth rate.

i juz tink tat ppl want to haf children but do tink twice abt the no. of kids.

1 kid is way too lonely.
2 kids is juz rite for company ( i mean for the kids ) but oredi quite demanding on the caregivers.

i like kids & the more the merrier but given the standard of living, i dun juz mean feeding the kids but buying them clothes & necessities, expenses of bringing them out & paying for education is a huge strain.

but the crunch comes is when it comes to childcare. childcare centres in office areas are on the high end of budget. getting a maid brings the usual arguments of being able to 放心 anot. grandparents can't cope beyond 2 kids. wat choice do we haf? unfortunately most s'pore mums don't haf the luxury of being stay home mums and tear our hair out worrying abt childcare. sigh.

dear govt, the baby bonus is better den nuthing but #1 thing tat stops ppl from having more kids is childcare. solving tis is more practical & effective den monetary incentives though of course we don't mind some help wif our finances.
