Until when will I be a programmer?
I'm just thinking of when would I stop working as a programmer? I'm 29 years old, going 30 this coming February. And maybe when my son started schooling, I might stop to take care of his assignments, to tutor him, to send him to school, and all those school-related stuff.
All those I have mentioned above, those makes me think... Until when will I be a programmer?
Or maybe when I take another step to have a business. But I don't have money for business. So where did all my salaries and online income goes? All the money goes to baby Ivan's needs, household expenses, my husband's gasoline. Some goes to my food and clothes which are only a few. And others goes to the Jollibee food and toys for my husband's niece. The last one, I hate the last one.
25,000.00 PHP + 10,000.00 PHP, and nothing goes to savings!!!
How can I stop working? Am I the bread winner? Well, I just felt I wish I'm a single mom!!!

I'd say, don't be in a hurry to give up your job, because maintaining it underpins your future secuirty and independence should things go wrong.
Once out of the job market, in an industry like IT, things move on very fast and your skills quickly become obsolete if you are not constantly maintaining them.
It may be depressing being the breadwinner, but it is better than the alternative.

Yeah thanks for reminding me. The "independence should things go wrong" is the best one. I know things might go wrong someday. As of now, I'm keeping myself busy at work and at taking care of my baby.
There are things that makes me think leaving my husband and my parents-in-law. But I know they are good people. There are just things that don't work with a daughter-in-law.
I guess I should pray more often to give me strength to accept the things I see.
Hmm,
Well personally I'm not a great believer in leaving matters to the power of prayer ... there is a saying that "God helps those who help themselves" after all.
But I was wondering, does your husband read your blog? I suppose you are referring to the extended family's reaction to him and your in-laws, rather than personal faults that they have, but I'm not sure that I would wish to see that my wife had reasons for considering to think of leaving me,even whilst acknowledging that myself and my parents (if they were still alive) were good people!
Are you sure that it's really a good idea to keep such thoughts here on your blog? Or is he cool with that?
It's hard to be working, and giving all your money to your husband and your parents-in-law for household and other expenses.
That's really ok with me. But I hate seeing them buying a lot of toys to their other grand daughters. I hate have those kids in our house, staying for almost a month. And those kids got cough and running nose.
And I hate to hear that the house is of my parents-in-law's ownership. We rent the house, and yet I can't make a decision on the house. IS it fair? It's the Chinese way of life. And I hate it.
About the leaving them thing, my husband knows that. But I think I only need some time for myself, to relax a little, then I would be okay again.
They know about people telling bad stories about them. And we hate it.
