Hi,
As a relief, i believe you hv more than enough time to be with
your kids, kids alway need and wanted their parents to be around,
when they growth up, the reverse is true, they would like more
private time than to be with you.
There are plenty of jobs that do not demand a 12hrs shift, as
young as you are, my suggestion is that you take up a job, built a
career out of it, TD in 20 years time is still a TD, no bonuses, no
CPF, no medical, no leaves and no pay increase, fares increases
alway go together with rental and diesel price increase, it always
back to square one for TD.
I believe that many who had taken TD since early 30s, but now in
their 40s or 50s, would had some regret in not holding to a
permanent working job, but nevertheless, they are stuck with it, or
so call use to TD, there is not much room for them to return to the
workforce. Be it a diploma holders, a O level, A level, or ITE,
once over 40s, it is very hard for you to get a job and those above
50s, can sign on TD forever,
You are right to love your kids and understand them, but you
must also teach your kids to be independent, teach them about the
true of this money minded society, to wash and do their own chores,
able to take the hard knocks of life so that when they grew up,
they are able to stand on their own.
