thoughts on family matters

i had a little chit-chat with one of my friends yesterday. well, she's ranting about her situation at the moment 'coz she's currently unemployed. if i were in her situation i wouldn't mind at all...really. she's married (her husband's family and hers are both well off), has 2 kids and she can travel anytime she wants. her husband can take care of all their finances since he's holding a lucrative position in one of the country's top oil firms. i told her that if she can't find a job that suits her requirement, might as well stay at home and take care of her kids. no experience could be more fulfilling than being able to guide your kids in their formative years. my fiance and i agreed that if his job will soon be able to finance all our needs, i will resign from work to look after our soon-to-be-kids. why? we would want our kids to be close to mom or dad than to yaya or lola, we want our kids to go to us whenever something's bothering them...in other words, we want them to know that before they turn to anybody.... they have their parents who can attend to them. my fiance grew up having a career mom and a dad who works abroad, because of this he used to have a strained relationship with his dad. we don't want that to happen... we want to have a family that is centered more on spirituality and love than on material wealth. whew! i know...it may be hard but someone's gotta try.
