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
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
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
i worked as a singing teacher for 10 years
years
and i've had some really good success stories
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
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
work
now the kids are older so after some discussion
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
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
