2005.7

I quit my job this summer after 15 years non-stop working.

After staying home more than 5 months, I really liked it. I like to see the happy faces when my kids come home and a hot dinner is ready for the family. I used to hire a housekeeper to cook and clean when I was working fulltime. Even the food was there, somehow my LG and kids were not happy. Me being home waiting for them seems make a big emotional difference on both kids and LG. However, sometimes, I do feel a little bit lost. I guess it may due to lack of social interaction. I don't like shopping, so stay home means lack of physical exercise too. To make that up, I bike to everywhere: grocery stores, libraries, etc.

I will stay home for at least another 6 month then will decide if I should go back to work or not. BTW, I'm working as a contractor at home but only 6 hours a day. So financially, we have little loss but family life-wise we have a lot gain.

My salute to any LG or LP out there including mine who makes this kind of mind swing possible.

While I‘m a staying home-mom。Other than being my children’s chauffeur,and family chef I got some time to burn。So I biked to local library and checked out movies (by alphabit order :-))

I have watched some good ones in the last couple of months,and enjoyed and would like to recommend all:

《Fiddler on the Roof》
〈A fish called Wanda》
〈Beautiful Mind》
〈Yi Yi》 (a Taiwainese production)
〈Seven Years in Tibet》 (too much propaganda,but still worth a look)
《Dr. Zhivago》
〈Monty Python〉(British style humor)
〈Prince of Tides〉
The Unbearable Lightness of Being
The Pianist
Seabiscuit

yijibang 回複 悄悄話 I stayed at home about 5 months a year ago after coming back from SH. Actually that was the first time after nearly 30 year of continuing working on the job. I liked it but only to some degree. I think to be a contractor will be better than a full time job if your insurance is not an issue. It is more flexible and more freedom. It is your decision to work this way and I am sure your family members will all support you if you are not too bossy.
