Singapore needs a break, we're too overworked and overstimulated to even do anything fun for ourselves

1. salary not enough to feed our kid 2. working hours are long, not able to coach or give family time. 3. education are too long many of us started buying hse at a later age or graduate at a later age. 4. housing are too expensive if you don't get BTO. eg resale they are easily half a mil. 5. there is still more is okay

No one knows why…?? Only those who have kid/s really understand. Cost of living, study pressure, parent’s guilt and opportunity cost many more reasons.

Hello. I think the gov should help couples suffering from infertility who want to have children. Instead of broad awareness campaigns, we should double down on the couples who have already shown their commitment. ☺️
