My daughter has 2 examples of where she wants to go.
My cousin came from a broken family, my uncle adopted her, sent her to school, she passed the board exam and became as a certified public accountant earning a lot. My cousin, still single at the age of 25 owns a property, has a car, savings in the bank and tours any country she wants.
Another example is me: I was 21 when I had her. I did not marry her father and went on to finish my education. Got me a job and worked to provide for her. She knew the hardship I had to go thru (as a solo parent) just to give her a comfortable life sans father figure.
With these 2 examples, I always tell her that she has the choice of what path to follow. I'm just there to support and guide her.
I know what you mean, helloqatar. i should be there with her. I could always find a job there that can pay me as much as I get here. The difference is that, in my country before I could get my paycheck, the government takes at least 15% of it, then another 15% to be paid for medical and life insurance which the company automatically deducts from the salary. It won't be enough to support the needs of a growing child.
Unlike here, I get my salary, which is at least 50% more than what I earn back home without the deductions.
So you see, my working abroad is not an option that I would want but to give my kid a better, more comfortable standard of living, this has to be done.
When I said I know my kid's a nice girl, I know she is...but a mother will always be a mother...fretting and worrying.
