Time and Commitment

Phases/ Stages in Life till Date

Single--> Dating--> Married--> Kids

Single

Everyone will remember the freedom of being single. The amount of time that we can spare and plan for our own interest. Hanging out with friends till late be it clubbing, pubbing, mahjong, BBQ, sports, midnite shows, late nites etc.

Dating

Got to know the girl/guy of our dream and managed to woo her/him. Started dating and things more or less still remain the same. The amount of time is however now split between friends and the one. More or less the things that you used to do will still be able to make time for them.

Married

Finally after several months or years as a couple, the guy decided to pop the question. Both of you signed on the marriage certificate. Now both of you are staying together, more time is spend together. Being married is not about the two, both families come into the picture. Fostering on the relationship within the family by going back home for dinner at least once a week.

Married with Kids

After months or years of 俩人世界, both of you decided to have bear the fruit of love. Time will be totally devoted to taking good care of your kid. Weekend will go by real fast. Next thing you know, you will be worrying which primary school to start preparing to send them too.

Basically I'm not complaining about the current stage/phase that I am in now or the amount of time that seems to be always insufficient. I am very grateful that my wife had been taking very good care of the kids. The post is just to share on the amount of time that ones need to devote or cater to before preparing for the next phase/stage.
