I have three months paid leave and then 9 months no-paid leave.
The best thing is that I can keep my position and they cant fire me.
As everything related to baby is free of charge, for example, childbirth, seeing doctor, playgroup, baby activities, I dont really have much expenses.
I really enjoy having time off to be with Ho Yin.
We go out to different activities everyday and he seems to enjoy himself as well.
Kindy and school are all free as well.
We are very lucky to live here and Ho Yin will love to have his childhood here (no pressure, no homework from school).
However, it is very hard to teach chinese to local-born chinese babies.
I will try my best and see how it goes.
