I can't complaint coz he has been working in this co since day 1 When I met him. At least he dedicates all his off day to us. I am quite lucky that myself is working with UK bosses, they are more considerate and understand the need for balance of life. You know, my boss have to ask us to go home early when he was here in Malaysia. <strong>Sounds like you've found your equilibrium so thats good. :)</strong> My hubby working hour is from 10-9.30pm, 6 days a week, only off on Sunday.

I always want to tell him about what I did at home and what happened esp. how naughty his daughter was during the day but .... sigh ... forget it ... just don't want him to feel I'm so 'loh soh' (nag nag nag, complain complain). Sometimes I wish I'm back to work in the office. <strong>Do like me loh. Write down so you won't forget.

We also hardly have time to talk, don't even mention about intimate moment. For example last nite, he came back nearly at 12a.m The kids kept asking for him, especially JS, who kept asking me to call daddy, ended up the kids slept at 1 a.m coz they want to play and bond with daddy, that left no time for me with hubby. :( I wrote down things on the blog so that he can read about what's going on at home and how I feel, etc etc. Like Sasha said "what to do ,cari makan ma", if no work means we no more income coz I have to solely rely on him to bring back the bread. :( <strong>At least your hubby reads what you write on your blog. Mine doesn't. Theres good and bad with that. Good=Can rant. Bad= Cannot hint. Lol!!</strong> <strong>For one income home wives like us, its hard to say anything about the hours because we have to be understanding about the stresses that comes with long hours (not that they wish to choose it) or we may find our families without any income.

But working late seems to be the trend nowadays in the corporate world. It looks like if you don't work late, there is something wrong with you! <strong>Its sad isn't it. </strong> oh dear, your scenario sounds so much like mine except I still get to talk to hubby a wee bit in the morning coz I have to get up early to get breakfast ready for the school going kid.
