So that you have your financial independence and moreover something that will keep your mind active. There are lot of websites that require online tutoring. You could try that. And that would also give you enough time to enjoy your grandchildren. What could be better than that?radhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837846875386312338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29858077.post-25757141132206492952012-04-20T13:05:05.181+05:302012-04-20T13:05:05.181+05:30Happy to have come across your blog.

Maybe it's time to do other things, or maybe a couple more years would help you finish the project...or the money will come in handy when you are much older...these "both are good in their own way" type choices are the bane of ones life.

It was a tough question wi...Hi Renu,Dipali and Dee,<br />It was a tough question with no correct answer. I have given it some thought and this is what I feel. Family is important and quality time is a must. The quality time however need not extend to several months. So when quitting the job and taking leave without pay are pretty much the same I can take leave without pay or with half pay and spend a month or perhaps 6 weeks with each of my three children and return to resume my job. As Renu rightly says it is better to keep one's option open since the recently concluded seminar has proved that work does wonders to the mind. This problem arises only because children live abroad. Were it India they could come over and we could visit them more often. <br />Since children find it difficult to travel with kids (expense apart, the strain and jet lag takes its toll) i think we ought to plan trips, enjoy a vacation with them and return. That would be a suitable option for all concerned.<br /><br />thanks a million for your response. putting my thoughts in paper and discussing with you all has really helped.Hip Grandmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16891699611146003601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29858077.post-46917658638586679362012-04-06T11:12:09.240+05:302012-04-06T11:12:09.240+05:30I have the same dilemma regarding my hubby's j...I have the same dilemma regarding my hubby's job..<br /><br />But i feel that keep on working is much better because one enjoys the time with the family to an extent, after that there is nothing special about it,<br />whereas working keeps the person alive mentally and brings more happiness per se.<br /><br />I prefer him taking leave some times to visit children and spend time with them, with less time, he is always in demand and valued more:)Renuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052079745061422542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29858077.post-79398783557108526192012-04-06T00:38:34.924+05:302012-04-06T00:38:34.924+05:30Your decision seems wise, HHG!

As of now I think I'll work on the project till Nov.2013, submit the report and take a break and spend sometime with my children even if it means loss of pay. If I find the arrangement rewarding I'll resign or else I'll come back and work till my retirement.Hip Grandmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16891699611146003601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29858077.post-79986616140753034752012-04-03T17:20:06.829+05:302012-04-03T17:20:06.829+05:30THis dilemma is so like the SAHM and WM that we al...THis dilemma is so like the SAHM and WM that we always go thru. I tell myself may 2 more years i will be home and enjoying time with kids. But when i think a little more, my mind has more and more questions. So i tell myself that may be on the way i will find out as i tread. I think IHM till you get some situation which forces either way, you keep working and may be something will tell you which way to go.Sumanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16894195422278069398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29858077.post-73446139712797397522012-04-03T15:52:37.682+05:302012-04-03T15:52:37.682+05:30Well time is precious, so quitting to get some qua...Well time is precious, so quitting to get some quality time with husband and grandkids has it's plus points.

Its a shame that teachers like you are diminishing and students are not able to appreciate knowledge. I sometimes wish I was your student. I would like to go back in time and re-learn english and science from the old-school teachers.
