i used to work such long hours that i didn't have any time to enjoy life i was like a robot get up go to work go back home sleep i had no personal life and i started to feel really miserable i decided that i wanted to have more free time so i told my boss that i was going through some personal issues and that i needed to work part-time she agreed now i have time to do everything i want i don't have as much money but i'm much much happier jasmine is three weeks old today
i remember a month or so ago thinking that i would go back to work within two or three months now i know that's not going to happen i just can't imagine leaving her with someone else i'll miss my colleagues of course but work will pay me an allowance for a year so i've decided to take that i worked as a singing teacher for 10 years and i've had some really good success stories but i felt that i had gone as far as i could go in that career and i wanted a change i didn't just
want to do a different job in music i wanted to do something completely different that's why i applied to do this engineering course it's challenging definitely but i really love it for the last nine years i've done the responsible thing i got a well-paid job close to home so that my wife didn't have to work and i could be home by half past four to spend time with the kids it's worked but i really began to hate work now the kids are older so after some discussion my wife agreed i could get a job i
loved even though i will be home much later and earn less i started last week it's great my wife and i both had really good jobs which we really enjoyed but we really saw our kids and they started to have difficulties at school we began to think we were being selfish together we were earning far more money than we needed so we decided that i would give up work and teach the children myself at home it's not easy but now we spend a lot more time together and it's good for all of us
