Practicing Responsibilities
Because responsibilities and basic “skills” need to be learned and practiced, starting from home.
…
When I was still in Singapore, getting ready to relocate to Jakarta, I was told (by a few people) how we “must” have a live-in helper and a driver if we’re to survive living in Jakarta.
At the time I could only thank them for the advice.
I myself had no idea how it would be like to live in Jakarta as a family of 5. Brie was 10 months old at the time.
All I knew was, we’re ready to face new struggles/challenges ahead, with God’s help, … and we’d choose for ourselves “how” we would raise our children.
One thing for sure, I would never want to give my role (as their fulltime mom, their primary caregiver) to a helper/nanny.
Anyway.
That, was 9 years ago.
And I could say now that we didn’t follow the advice.
And, we survived.
(Thank God for His mercy and providence which we truly experience daily)
