This past week in Singapore, school-going children were on the first term break of the year. Just a week, but as any parent would tell you, a year with the kids is like an eternity.
Unfortunately, because of the short term contract I won, I had a lot less time to spend with my kids than I would have liked. I don’t get home till around three in the afternoon, and that is if I am driving. It left me a bit heavy-hearted as well because this was the first holiday season where both kids were on holiday.
I don’t think either kid begrudges me needing to work. They’re good like that. However, I have to constantly remind myself that I walked away from my previous job so that I could build a better quality life for myself.
We are off to the zoo later today. It’s not much, but I hope that it will make the holiday worthwhile. For myself, if not for the kids.
