Housewife Dreams

this morning on the train, i was asking God, "God, I really enjoy teaching my girl and seeing her learn well from my teaching.. Can it be considered my passion, or is it because she's my daughter that's why I am feeling more enthu about it?"

 

well, generally, i enjoy being with children. i wouldnt say that in the past, but having a child of my own really does change my perspective and i got to understand why children behave the way they behave. I was a student care teacher a long time ago before I was married - and I regret to say that I wasn't a very patient or understanding teacher - gimme another chance and i think i will definitely perform better. However, as much as I would like to go back to student care, the massive pay cut is impossible for me right now. haiz.

 

there are actually many ways to work with children:

 

childcare teacher - need DPT
student care teacher - no need qualifications
MOE teacher - need to study in NIE
tuition teacher (foreign language teacher as a subset)
infant care teacher (however i am quite fearful of handling fragile infants, but i guess it takes practice, same for everyone!)
kindergarten teacher - pay around 1800 with DPT
babysitter...i did think about this for a while recently..

 

Another concern is, if I really do work with children, will I be so tired after work that it will affect my personal time and coaching time with my own girl? Hubby did mention this to me before and I could not answer coz I really dunno if it will happen.

 

Maybe, THE ideal scenario will be, to be a full-time housewife and coach at home! LOL. Yeah maybe hor? Maybe that has been my underlying intention, just that I dunno...

 

go one big wild goose chase, i may have realised that all i want in life is to be a housewife?
