Today I did everything as usual and checked my moments on my way to office by metro and saw a really interesting article which said people spend almost 700 HK dollars to raise a baby grow up as an adult in HK. It means you can buy about 85 LV bags if you don’t have a baby. That’s really shocked me because I never know how expensive to raise a baby up it is! And I forward this moment and received a lot of commends from my friends. Someone said you just dig a bottomless pit at the moment you became a mother. Another told me please enjoy your single life completely, it will be your best memories and you could never turn back when you have a baby. The best classic command is when all the people judge me to push my son too much, I just want to clarify on thing that it’s my son push me too much and give me a very pressure, not me!(it should be a kidding)
However I am really thanks for my parents to raise me up and bear me and love me. I will try my best to be a good mother in the future.

Today I did everything as usual and on the subway on my way to work I checked my moments and saw a really interesting article which said people spend almost 700 million HK dollars to raise a child in HK. It said you can buy about 85 LV bags if you don’t have a baby.

That’s really shocking to me / That really shocked me because I never knew how expensive it is to raise a baby! I posted this article to my moments and received a lot of comments from my friends.

Someone said, “The moment you become a mother, just dig a bottomless pit for all the money you spend.”

Another told me, “Please enjoy every moment of your single life, it will be your best memories and you can never be single again / never turn back when you have a baby.”

The best classic comment is from a father who said, “When all the people judge me that I push my son too much, I just want to clarify one thing. It’s my son who pushes me too much and puts a lot of pressure on me, not the other way around!” Of course, he’s just joking/kidding, he’s not serious. 

After reading this, I am really thankful for my parents to raise me and put up with/bear me and love me. I will try my best to be a good mother in the future.
