13 days to being a Stay-At-Home-Mum (SAHM) living in Singapore

Hi there,

In 13 days, I will have served my one month notice to my employer, whom I worked tirelessly for the past 4 years. 

In 13 days, I will be reporting my "first day of work" at home working as a mother to a 10 months old son.

I am very excited for the D-day!

Yes, you must be reading with a worried heart, that I gave up an amazing career and fat cheque over my son. That I will be a dependent to my husband, whose job is on thin ice.

Yes, i most likely have made a grave mistake. But I am 100% certain that i am on my way to my dream.

My dream is to be a mother,  who stays at home and spend quality time with her children, provide for and see them grow up to be amazing kid to mama. 

In December 2019, I realised my dream of being a mother, giving birth to an adorable son. He brings great joy to the family every day. I was able to provide a high quality lifestyle for my son because of my long career.

However, my job only allows me to spend probably 2-3 hours with him every day and the weekends. Although I am home, every growing pile of work spill over to my non-office hours. I was drained, cried almost every other night. 

That was why I am 100% certain, for about 40 hours a week, I am not living the way I dreamt of. The solution is to quit and follow my dreams.
