The title says it all. I have made a decision. A decision that would change my life, hubby, Izzah and my future children for the better.
I’m going to quit my job. I want to become a WAHM (work at home mom).
I have done with thinking. And, more and more thinking.
But, NOT now lah…ha..ha..ha. saspen je kan… jangan marah ah… nanti berkedut!
Obviously, now is way too soon to do a major decision like that. Ha ah… rushing thing without proper planning is not good anyway..ahaks.
I just want to make a note in this blog that I’m going to quit my 8-5 job as a Chartered Accountant within ONE year from now.
I hate coming to work and face the traffic jam every morning (I wasted minimum 30-60 minutes in traffic jams on my way to work).
I hate doing jobs without being recognised (no bonus maah!)
I hate been given more and more workloads without salary increment!
I hate my brain been squeezed and used for nothing.
And, of course…. I hate leaving Izzah at the nursery for someone else to take care of her!
I just don’t want to go through all this until I am 55. Enough is enough, okey.
I believe, you as a mom would sooner or later come to this same thinking as mine. Especially, when things get tough. But, you’re not tough enough to get going.
For example, if your baby constantly getting ill or the scary spreading of life-threatening infectious disease like HFMD and H1N1.
Let’s face it. Not all of us is born under a lucky star. We’re not a prominent person’s daughter, are not married to a wealthy guy and are not SAHM living in luxury.
We have to work to support our hubby. There are tons of debt to settle each month – the car loan, housing loan, study loan etc. Being a money-less stay-at-home-mom is not an option.
We have to leave our precious angels at the baby sitter/nursery so that we can make our family’s life comfortable. So that we can afford buying that little things that we want for our childs or ourself.
I think I can make this dream (of quitting my job and become a successful WAHM) comes true. But, theory without practical is just a bull-shit, right?
No…no..no, I’m not talking about joining MLM okeh. Sounds too good to be true, isn’t it?
That’s why I’m making myself a case-study.

hi lil mama, suspen betul bila baca u punya opening. kita serupa, jd accountant,keje mcm nak gila but never being appreciated and rewarded… kenangkan our lil ones yg kena tinggal hari2 tu, rasa mmg mcm nak quit skrg gak.. tp apakan daya, dgn keadaan kewangan yg tak seberapa nih, nak settlekan all the bills and hutang, ku lupakan shj impian tu, tunggula, will follow your journey and make it as my aspiration to be a wahm one day… insyaallah..
mama ida, ha..ha.. jangan marah ye.
let’s see camana progress me ok

Kak Ros,
Been through that kind of experience before. Mmg susah nak buat that kind of decision. I’ll update by blog very soon to share my own story on how and why I decided to be a WAHM. But trust me..berbaloi..:D 😉
.-= Effa´s last blog post..Nape senyap?? =-.
effa, cepat-cepat hupdate story kat blog! berbaloi baloi!
wahhh…i loike this entry!!!!! hehe
tak sangka eh, your MBP is a success.
my hubby does the same as side income, using his engineering expertise. but i nak buat mcm dia rasa mcm boring lah. takkan lah nak fikir bende technical 24 jam kan. love something like urs, non-technical stuff. tp belum ada idea haha. do share wt us ya….mmg dah lama berangan nak jadi WAHM ni.
nina, MBP baru bertatih aje.. tunggu dia berlari-lari nanti..he..he
kak ros,
ada masanya, terdetik juga..
tapi, tu lah, tak tau nak buat income macam mana..
kalau tak, sorang je nak tanggung, memang tak mampu…
penat bekerja memang penat..
tapi, cuba bertahan dulu.. huhu..
cepat2 lah share..
siapa tahu, bakal WAHM jugak.. hehehe
.-= sya´s last blog post..ratuhati @ tasik shah alam =-.
sya, me pun bertahan je ni.. insyaalah nanti tiba la masa.. kena start from now
I nak update blog pun tak sempat, apatah lagik nak dpt side income from my blog LOL. so no choice kena la cinta my day job (urgh sometimes nights, weekends too)
Hanim, me dulu kecik cita2 nak jadi doktor gak.. tapi ntah macam mana masuk asrama penuh dimasukkan kelas bukan pure science..last2 jadik la tukang kira duit je..
takpe la.. apa pun.. itu rezeki kita kan.. kena cinta juga
Uhh….saspen aje…ingat tadi dah nak melompat2 setempat bila ada geng…me pun consider as WAHM kan skang ni….? Anyway, welkam to this real mother’s world Ros!!!
macik, saja je buat saspen..ha..ha..
wahhhhhh excitednya nak jadik cam ros… aritu br terpk nak amik unpaid leave 5tahun nak jaga baby husin sampai besar.. huhuhu… br skarang ann bukak mata sket dgn side income dr blogging nih.. tgk ros punya attached statement lagik buat rasa teruja sgt.. nuffnang br nak nampak cam bley wat duit.. cuma adsense je punya kes xsetel² lg.. nak kena hubby setelkan nih… huhuhu 😛
.-= mamibizi´s last blog post..Edible Image Cake =-.
ann, waaah.. 5 years unpaid leave.. bagus ye company bagi unpaid lama-lama..
yg adsense tu, kalau tak leh settle.. apa kata create akaun baru guna email address lain?
gomen kan leh ambik unpaid leave up to 5 years….
ann pun sakit ati sebab ann kena pinjam dek Kem Sumber asalnya dari Kem Pelajaran
dah le pinjam org…elaun kritikal yg patutnya dpt kat kem lama kat sini dorang tanak bayar. alasannya dlm kem sumber tadak bajet utk itu…
kdg2 pikir unfair tul…penilaian prestasi tinggi, sanggup dipinjamkan tapi dorang ni tak reti2 nak bayar elaun org…
.-= Ann´s last blog post..Edible Image Cake =-.
ada antara kita yang suka menjadi working mom, career woman, n tak kurang jugak career woman yg kepingin nak jadi housewife.. sapa tak nak duk rumah n uruskan rumahtangga sdiri kan.. niat yg baik tu..tapi dont worry working mom out there, now you sacrifice everything nak berganding bahu dengan husband masing2 untuk masa depa family jugak kan..
when the time has come, insyaAllah akan merasa jadi surirumah..
lady of leisure, yep.. semua depends on the person herself la kan.. pokoknya if wanna do something.. kena plan, budget and go for it!
saya suke nk ikot2…. insyaallah i punye target 5tahun lagik… tp still takde planning yg teguh… sy mau join ros yee….
