Birth rate

So birth rate is dropping. Govt is so anxious, start to give baby bonus as a generous package for people in hope to see a delighting outcome. Wow..!! so all of sudden, giving birth had become…wonderful? Even news of celebrities are getting pregnant had increased tremendously for the past few mths (when the laws are being passed down) compared to the last few yrs ppl avoid in having children. Giving birth..??, it is easy to say than to be done…!! It is not just the matter of giving birth to them.. but lot n lots of love n care had to be poured in. Along the way, there may some disappointments, worries, and anxieties even heart-breaking moments. There’s no price tag to be given, what I could say that it is timeless n priceless.
What can I say? …yup..it is a bonus for some families, but having a child is yrs..our decision. Im sure tat very moment when we get married, we will or already starting planning to have kids of our own…cos they will be our personal models of own geneses creations. Who doesn't want that? The financial help is not even one of our motivations to get ourselves pregnant n have a baby.
I had to agree that sometime Singapore may not be a comfortable place to live in with the high living cost. It will add on to the heavy baggage of the low income families just to add one more member into their home.
Leave.. leave.. leave taking days off specially for our child exams is what parents do now. Lesson for them had been so tiring n heavy burden on their tiny shoulders. Not amazing that nowadays kids’ schoolbag weights more than a kg. Not only that, as for parents, they let their children to learn a lot of things.. e.g. piano lessons, computer classes…even ballet for the gers. Everything..in fact anything tat ‘the best of the best’, they will do to ensure their kids could outshine their peers…making them above others (cos of pride = proud?). Won’t be a new thing if children start turning to suicides when they fail to accomplish their parents’ high hopes..
