From what I observed hor, normally girls will change their mind after marriage once their maternal instinct kicks in. It's the guys who prefer to be childless
a hen that dun wanna lay eggs is just good for the table
ya i know quite a few also, cb every couple of weeks go short getaway, every few months go long holidays
my close friend is a DINK. she's a VP at a bank, husband also quite high flyer. both in late 30s. live in 2 bedroom FH condo along east coast area.
every 3-4 months can see them go holiday one. life jin shiok.
in the other hand, we got another friend in same group, late 30s and just had a 2nd child. struggling to handle 2 kids.
its just life.

If wanna bring a kid or 2 out, make sure Chiu can give them headstart w a house each since our country is giving them debt of 30 yrs loan.
Better to give 2 each so stay in one, rental income & no stress to find job.

True and have children early. Late 30s early 40s no physical and mental strength liao

I am not sure if I wanna be spending time in an old folks' home. Not sure if a retirement village is plausible for me though.

I read one edmw article
The ah mah went to stay old folks home cos she needed help w daily activities but her children all either got spouses needing them o care or they also can't spare time or fitness level to help her daily
So she go
Then later she squabble / hv mini fight w one or two of her co habitants at the home so she left and went back to her own house at circuit road. She do everything v v v slowly but at least she s independent and she said she got freedom .. not needing to be limited by home 's rules or who they make her neighbours to be .
So my Tk is , if u sociable n chincai n mostly mobile stay where is ok : yr own preference
If one is immobile then everyth also no choice alr ..
even hire a maid but ultimately they r here as hired worker , e kind of care a family member can do for u out of love is way different.. that s why so many rather hire maid to help them but ownself be caregiver to their loved one
Key thing : can u try to ensure yr own fitness n mobility thru out old age lor

I agree with the last sentence. In Scandinavia and the Nordic countries, the old people would rather be in retirement homes because of the above.
Unfortunately, the same logic doesn't apply to Singapore.
