All my years in Canada especially after having Chloe, I’m constantly doing something for her or for the business and our home. Of course, there is nothing wrong with it but given the recent event with a friend living here for the last 10 yrs and her recent development with her ex, I feel a need to say that every women and mothers out there must take time from their everyday chores and work to take care of themselves first.
Why ? you never know what will happen in the future – things may change and you may not even suspect it but don’t wait till last minute to realize that all that you’ve done for the spouse, his business and his family, left you with nothing. My friend is going thru’ some nasty shit from her ex – and she certainly doesn’t deserved it, it also make me realized that as spouses, you need to know about your finances, don’t just ignore or leave it to him to do everything. If he raked up your joint credit card or gets an overdraft from the bank with your name on it – you are pretty much screwed.
All women around the world must smarten up about your finances especially those who left everything in Asia and came to the West in the name of love.
